No one can troll you quite like your other half.  Maybe it’s because we know they love us really, but more likely it’s because it’s their life’s mission to catch us at our worst and rip it out of us mercilessly.  This is certainly the case for Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, who regularly tear […]

As Hurricane Ophelia ravages through the country, people are flooding online for information, support, and some for comic relief.  However, when Conor McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh took to Twitter to weigh in on the storm, it didn’t go down well at all.  The 40-year-old had a tongue-in-cheek approach to the storm that’s taken the lives […]

As Hurricane Ophelia wreaks havoc across the country, Met Éireann and the Gardaí have made no bones about the fact that it’s in our best interests to stay safe indoors.  Bill Clinton has other ideas, however, and has been spotted roaming the streets of Dublin as he prepares to be presented with an honorary doctorate […]

Unfortunately, people sleeping rough on the streets of Dublin is an all-too-common sight these days.  But what Skerries man Phily Dunne captured on Henry St. this week was a break from the usual – a real bittersweet moment.  Phily was on his lunch break when he spotted a homeless man reach into his pocket to […]
