World Book Day Singer (1/4) Cork celebrated World Book Day a little late but it didn’t stop the organisers putting on a great show! This gentleman performed for the crowds outside the City Library and attempted to serenade many of the females who walked past. This is what the street entertainer in yesterday’s picture was…

Tom Murphy Men’s Wear
Tom Murphy Men’s Wear Dermot Fagan with a selection of waist coats We returned my wedding suit yesterday to Tom Murphy Men’s Wear and Dress Hire Service.

Photographer’s Rights in Ireland
Digital Rights Ireland have published a post about the rights of photographers in our fair isle.
