The Buzz in the Irish Blogosphere, recently, kinda
• Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has been in a spot of bother, over which many Irish bloggers have been in a spot of lather. I was going to say that the Arse End of Ireland’s Swearing Lady summed the whole thing up nicely with this, when she only went and bettered it with this
• Cedric Dumont has been BASE jumping off Irish landmarks. Blogorrah has the videos
• Everybody and his dog latched onto a stunning video about the Dublin Coastal Development, city in the sea - The Community At Large located the background
• Irish schools publishers, Folens, announced its intention to drop the term “British Isles” from its Atlases, leaving Ireland and Great Britain (or the Republic and the UK if you prefer) collectively without a name - though The Poor Mouth reminds us of a few alternatives that have been used
• In a major European report, the sprawl of Dublin is being used as the worst-case scenario when it comes helping Eastern European countries plan cities, which I read first on Blather’s Zeitgeist
• The latest report by the Independent Monitoring Commission that everybody seemed to simply welcome, gets a closer look from Slugger
• More than one person has noted how the World Ploughing Championships pulled in (again) more people than the much touted Ryder Cup - like Adam Maguire
• And budget Irish airline, RyanAir, made a bid to buy the national airline, Aer Lingus, which Twenty quickly explained, given the money involved, probably wasn’t done to ruin peoples day, or lives
