EARLIER TODAY, SAOIRSE Ronan landed a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in Brooklyn.
And guess where she was when she got word that she had been nominated? In Dublin nail salon Tropical Popical, no less.
This afternoon, the salon tweeted that Ronan received the good news while in the salon.
Later, they posted a photograph of Ronan celebrating her nomination with some bubbles.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Ronan explained that she kept getting phone calls from her publicist in the middle of her manicure. (Don’t you hate when that happens?)
So I answered: ‘I can’t talk to you right now! I’m getting my nails done!’ Then, my publicist was like, ‘Well, you just got nominated for a Globe, so you have to talk to us!’ I kind of squealed.
Ronan said that “everyone cheered” when she got off the phone and spoke of the “incredible amount of sincere support from everyone in Ireland”.
She even gave a little shout out to Tropical Popical in the piece.
I’m in Dublin. Tropical Popical is the nail salon I go to. Painted palm trees on the wall, and pink flamingos everywhere. It’s quite a way to find out you’ve been nominated. And I’ve gotten gold painted on my nails. I’ve got golden nails right now.
Amazing.

Life isn’t a long enough sentence for such brutality
true.
Perchance, are you Russian?
The lifestyles exposed in this heinous crime should be a wakeup call to society in general.
To allow this sick violent sub culture to continue in any community is a sure recipe for a collapse in any form of decency. Locking these criminals in jail is fine but the seed bed they grow out of is alive and thriving despite this .
Community activists and politicians should concentrate their energies is engaging with families where initial signs of engaging in professional crime is evident. Humanity is not designed to live in savagery.
Everybody deserves an opportunity to live a secure peaceful happy existence. It behoves all to try and ensure that this is given.
@John, you could be talking about criminals or politicians with that post!! Well said though.
John,
Now is the perfect time where limk is concerned, all the leaders are in jail, all that is left are headless chickens.
People who only got involved to pretend that they’re hard or to get some power.
Raise their self esteem and they are on the path to goodness. It really is not that difficult with the right task force.
We need to reintroduce capital punishment.
Otherwise human life will continue to be regarded as very cheap by the criminals who control areas of our cities.
Capital punishment doesn’t work, it’s just a crude form of revenge. What happens if new evidence emerges in a murder case which casts doubt on the conviction? What then? In cases like this, is it not better to let them sit in prison for the rest of their lives, in the certain knowledge that they have wasted their time on this planet and will now never amount to anything but a statistic?
We’ll have to leave the EU and UN then..No great loss on either.
Dundon was listening to 1999 by prince on his headphones.
I was screamin’ when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin’
Could of sworn it was judgment day
My face was all purple
All my people rattin’ everywhere
Tryin’ to run from the destruction
You know you wouldn’t even dare
‘Cause they say two thousand zero thirteen
Party over, oops out of time
So Limerick’s gonna party like it’s 1999
etc……….
I’d say all 3 of these “credible” witnesses would grass their mothers up if it was to their own benefit,
sure paul,
it worked, he’s off the streets.
The Ultimate Gutter Cleaner & a family that could eat their young!
Rot you piece of skum dundon
They should of hung him in limerick town and left him there for all too see
Once he’s off the scene a new bunch of thugs will take over and reign terror.
These thugs are waiting in the wings to take over and make their mark.
