What’s Hot
The Sitting Room
A cocktail bar above Delahunt on Camden Street in Dublin.
Kerrygold shortbread biscuits
Another way to eat butter. We’re not complaining.
Private clubs opening up
The Stephen’s Green Hibernian Club will open its diningroom to non-members in October.
Castlepalooza
Tullamore’s favourite music festival kicks off next Friday.
Dublin Bikes expanding
Hopefully the new sponsor will mean new stations opening soon.
Balega Silver Socks
Awesome running socks that halt blisters, bacteria and odour.
GAZE
The LGBT film festival in Dublin opens next Thursday with marriage equality documentary The 34th.
What’s Not
Vaping jargon
Mods, ohms, coils, wicks, and lung rips. Vape shops need a translator at the counter.
Boots
Backlash over the chemist’s price for the morning-after pill.
A new Irish city
A prospect discussed by Ministers last week. Maybe they should just work to improve the existing ones?
Insta story excess
We don’t actually need to see your life streamed on Instagram.
Wearable tech for pets
A ball that measures your dog’s fitness? Collar-mounted cameras? A tracker for cats. No thanks.
Guy Ritchie
His King Arthur: Legend of the Sword film lost Warner Brothers $150 million. Oops.
