IT WAS TOUCH and go whether they were going to take place this year – but the nominees for this year’s IFTAs awards have been announced.
Frank and Patrick’s Day have topped the list for film nominations with nine apiece, while unsurprisingly, Love/Hate has the highest number of nominations for a television programme with seven.
Vikings had the next highest number of television nominations with seven, followed by Charlie, The Fall and Game of Thrones, which all received three nominations.
Glassland, I Used to Live Here, Noble and Song of the Sea all received multiple nominations in the film categories.
There are a total of 27 categories across film and television categories.
The awards are slightly different from previous years: they’ve been split into two, with the film and drama awards taking place in Dublin’s Mansion House on 24 May and the television awards taking place in October.
The programme will be broadcast on TV3, but in a one-hour special rather than in last year’s much-criticised format.
Here is the full list of nominees:

I know everyone deserves a shot but if paddy went to Romania and behaved like that, he’d be sure of a good hiding from the cops or have the book flung at him in the courts for a sentence he wouldn’t forget.
In Balkan countries you do not mess with the police and jails make Mountjoy look like Disneyland.
Why brin the Balkans into it? They have nothing to do with Romania!
Why bring the Balkans into it? They have nothing to do with Romania!
The baltic weather sometimes causes brain-freeze, Romania is indeed part of the Balkan peninsula.
Ah – I hadn’t realised the border extended all the way up to the Danube. I have been to a Baltic prison however, which would make any Irish prison seem like a 5 star holiday camp.
And this is exactly why people reoffend.
Yes and no previous convictions translates as hasn’t been caught before until now. What a joke of a justice system we have, no wonder Dublin is in decay, there’s no consequence to bad behaviour.
St Vincent de Paul will prob pay the fine for him anyway
Why? To pay 3k every time?
First paragraph states that he has now paid the fine.
Further down states that at court in June he was given 6 months to pay.
6 months = december
Maybe he shouldn’t have paid the fine. He would have got “six months” but would have been let of of prison after an hour an a half.
He acted very violently in a corner shop to an innocent man doing his job. If this is his style of dealing with things that irritate him, who knows what he could do to source the €3000.
€3000 = sorrow and regret are Genuine, Judge = Joke.
Seems as though the Romanian chap has integrated well with the local population.
Back on the boat for that Romanian parasite
Not the first time of heard of that particular judge giving soft sentences
I can bet it he headbutted a member of the emergency services. The story would be calling for mandatory sentences to be introduced. Do ordinary people not count when it comes to assault.
Sounds like a real nice guy. 3000 for an attack like that involving bleeding caused by biting sounds too low. After blood testing it would have taken a long time to be sure he wasn’t infected with something.
It’s a bit like a Scottish bloke I kind of half know who’s being living here about 15 years and is always giving out the eastern European “Foreigners” he has to work with. I point the irony out to him once but for some reason he didn’t consider himself a “foreigner”.
You do know the history of population movement between Ireland and Scotland ?
I’d have a working knowledge. What’s your point?
Brits abroad call themselves expats, not migrants, or emigrants. Everyone is a foreigner to them, regardless.
I thought only white folks could be racist
Pop to any Middle Eastern country and you’ll see more racism in 1 day there than you would in 1 year in Europe. There’s no attempt to hide or discourage it over there.
Most Romanians are white, so that’s a pointless comment.
Send the yoke back to where he came from…..
Madness that the incident happened in June 2014 and only getting sorted out now. Only arrived in Ireland and was unemployed.For this type of offence he should be told to “paint and decorate” Romania and be kicked out.
Just deport him
If this was any other country with sane border laws he would be sent home after a long prison sentence.
3000 out of pocket. He will remember that the next time he is having a few scoops
Who hasn’t had a few scoops and then a good Indian meal.
Sounds like the sort who wouldn’t want a Muslim consultant.
Hello! Your site is great!
How much time did you spend to write so awesome articlesHappy New Year T Shirts
Absolutely disgusting! If an animal bit a person it would be put down!! This vile person should be deported back to his motherland & never again be allowed back to Ireland. Much too lenient a sentence in my opinion.
have your say
