IRISH OSCARS FLOP – AN APOLOGY

Oscars

IN COMMON with all other news outlets, we may have given the impression over recent months that Irish films would dominate this year’s Academy Awards.

TIKTOK STARS EMERGE AS UNLIKELY TDS

COVID APP DISCONTINUED

Covid app

Following the decision to decommission the Covid tracker app, hopes are now high that a similar decision will be made regarding ‘obsolete’ Stephen Donnelly. Critics say Donnelly, who was rolled out midway through the pandemic, “never really worked” and they have been sceptical of his effectiveness since the outset. “He looks professional but he doesn’t...
