Jeanne Moreau in 2005. PA Archive/PA Images

French actress Jeanne Moreau has died, aged 89

She shot to fame in Jules et Jim.

FRENCH ACTRESS JEANNE Moreau, who shot to fame in Jules et Jim and starred in some of the most critically-acclaimed films of the 20th century, has died aged 89, her agent said Monday.

The actress, whose husky voice and show-stopping beauty captivated cinema audiences, was found dead at her home in Paris, the district’s mayor told AFP.

Having made her name in Francois Truffaut’s Jules et Jim, his 1962 story of a love triangle, Moreau had a prolific career and appeared in films well into her eighties.

She won France’s equivalent of an Oscar, a Cesar, for best actress in 1992 for The Old Lady Who Walked in the Sea.

Paying tribute to her, President Emmanuel Macron said Moreau had “embodied cinema” and she was a free spirit who “always rebelled against the established order”.

    And arguably the positive effects of Brexit for Ireland will be greater than any short term negative effects, provided we build the required office space and homes. It will also be very healthy for our exporters to try to diversify and quit the ridiculous over-reliance on the UK, especially for agriculture.

    I really can’t wait for Enda to reveal all the preparations they’ve been making. Firstly he tells the UK to do nothing and take their time before starting the exit process. 10 days later he’s demanding they go as soon as possible. Go figure Ladies and Gentlemen.

    Totally agree Steve. .Kenny has been charging around like a headless chicken since the UK vote. He’s waffling on about the UK being our biggest export market .In fact the US is our largest export market and has been for several years. The UK actually slipped to third briefly just before Christmas as Belgium temporarily became our second largest market due to a high level of pharmaceutical exports just before Christmas.
    Point being, If our Largest export market is outside the EU and always has been , whats the problem with the UK being outside the EU, Obviously the Stg collapse makes exports to the UK a little more expensive .However that’s the same for all competitors exporting to the UK. Unfortunately Kenny is living in the seventies when the UK accounted for around 75% of our exports. Somebody please tell him that’s not the case now and stop panicking.

    We export 85% poultry products; 65% dairy; 50% beef – to the UK.

    Because the UK has no EU benefit from buying from us, they are seeking other sources – the Commonwealth etc.

    First thing we must do is replace them – and find new end users, as this future market (our biggest) is now extremely uncertain.

    A lot of exports and imports are overblown. If we increase processing in Ireland there is a lot more profit with reduced exports and imports. The EU will likely subsidise such changes as part of the exit plan if borders are closed.

    I think at minimum, we should demand that one of the two EU agencies based in the UK (European Medicines Agency & European Banking Authority) be relocated to Ireland. Simon Harris has at least been making the right noises about the European Medicines Agency, although perhaps not forcefully enough.

    If we could bring in some well-paid jobs, it would at least offset some of the negative impact and while only some of the staff would be Irish, they would still be spending in the local economy, and visitors would be occupying hotel rooms and eating in restaurants etc.
