Cyril Cusack: Lár an Stáitse
Cyril Cusack was one of Ireland’s greatest actors. His long career began in the early days of Irish silent cinema and saw him conquer stage, screen and television. Cusack appealed to many generations across his 75-year career. To some he was the movie star who popped up in major Hollywood films. To others he was Uncle Peter in Glenroe. He was an actor, poet, playwright and Irish language enthusiast. Featuring rare family photos, exclusive interviews with his six children and the greatest moments from his long career, this documentary is the definitive portrait of one of our finest actors.

    Taking a piss OMG, I wonder when they walk their poodles do their dogs have to take a leak? Probably not! Why not plant a refugee site in the middle of Foxrock, that will give them something to moan about. As 99% of the PC brigade reside on the Southside, practice what you preach and help out the poor refugees.

Let the young folk enjoy those concerts and stop moaning or move up to the top of the 3 Rock and become off the grid spoon whittlers FFS.

    If Portoloos were provided not only inside the walls of marley park but on the main road outside, this wouldn’t be an issue. The reality is people will be drinking before the gigs and drink outside before going in. This is how it’s always been and it’s always been tolerated by the guards so it would be more productive to just provide them and keep the area clean

    A couple of permanent festival sites in the country would suit all. Permanent loos and showers, mini huts, barrack style as part if ticket prices, bins, and food halls too plus indoor stages for rain (often).
    Jobs for locals for a change.
    Think Glastonbury. Car parking. No noise pollution and central for all in the country
    In use for many conferences, adventure holidays for kids, Many uses.
    Rural shows of produce. Agricultural shows. Etc.
    Opportunities to showcase. Very useful.
    Sports facilities, just basic. Track events, tennis courts. Football pitch.
    Kids play area, safe and enclosed in case…
