Okay so here are two of my top recommendations for breakfast in Dublin.If you want a fantastically flavoured greasy humongous breakfast then get yourself into Hobarts in Ranelagh. See top left and bottom right pics above.They do good coffee too! But if you want a fantastically flavoured full of feelgood type of breakfast you need to try out the Fumbally Cafe. They don't have a huge menu but my god what they have on it...

On the news tonight there was a report on a temporary hostel for homeless people being ran currently by the Civil Defence (in the Civil Defence HQ, Wolfe Tone Quay).Due to the bad weather (cold and rain) and due to the amount of people homeless on the streets of Dublin the Civil Defence have been requested to run an emergency/temporary hostel.It makes me sad to think of the homeless problem we have, but it was heartening to see the support and set-up by the Civil Defence. They have a big hall with 20 camp beds. Every tenant for the night...

He then finished with the immortal line "FECK OFF OUTTA MY LIFE IONA INSTITUTE".Post...
