A provocative piece, the work had been used, with its artist’s permission, on an anti-nuclear-power poster in the 1970s. “It’s the notion of an embryo needing to be protected from the environment by having a gas mask,” Finucane says. In subsequent decades, he was largely forgotten by the art world, his work left to gather dust. He drew from images ripped from newspapers – a practice forbidden at art college – and would etch on bread paper, the thin tissue used to wrap loaves. “Very optimistic.”Donal O’Sullivan: An Artist Remembered, by Paul Finucane and Brendan Lyons, is published by Red Barn; it is available from cnocbuiarts.ie/publications and selected bookshops

Rian Farrell was likely caught unawares this week when carving his name into the long annals of Irish athletics history. In registering with North Sligo AC, Farrell helped grow the Athletics Ireland club membership to 75,000 and it’s already tipped beyond that. Athletics, like many sports, also suffered a significant drop off in club membership during Covid-19. As, in turn, were most of the athletics clubs. A kid at that age could also be on the waiting list for a few different athletics clubs.

Donohoe had long wanted to attend trials but was unaware of how easy it was to come and go to court cases. His own interest in court cases stems from an interest in human psychology. This, in part, encouraged Donohoe’s interest in criminal cases. Attending trials and discussing them with others is a stimulating social outlet, Nolan notes, and the group has gathered for social occasions outside of the Central Criminal Court. Donohoe believes that the courts “are a great way to pass the time”, while Drennan Hennessy says it “keeps your brain active”.

He was talking about climate change. “Those who think we’re powerless to do anything about this greenhouse effect are forgetting about the White House effect. Bush senior’s “White House effect” – his phrase promising US leadership to address climate change from which the documentary takes its name – now means something very different. A new term, “climate change sceptics”, came into existence, and a group of them were soon invited into the Oval Office to meet Bush. Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House roof in 1979.

An Irish Times investigation had found 11 practitioners faced serious sanctions in the UK and yet remained registered to practise in Ireland. Dr Asif Ali was one of 11 practitioners identified in an Irish Times investigation who faced serious sanctions in the UK and yet remained registered to practise in Ireland. Since the publication of the investigation last month, the doctor has been suspended by the Medical Council until further notice. The Irish Times has found no evidence Dr Ali practised in Ireland. Records show several other doctors identified by the Irish Times investigation still remain eligible to practise in Ireland, despite facing suspension or serious sanction overseas.

Palantir chief executive Alex Karp says analysts and critics have been 'wrong at every price'. Photograph: David Paul Morris/BloombergBig Short investor Michael Burry has bet against AI and defence technology stock Palantir, much to the apparent displeasure of company chief executive Alex Karp. Burry’s bets – regulatory filings show short positions against Palantir and Nvidia – are “batshit crazy”, said Karp. Analysts and critics have been “wrong at every price”, jealous and hopelessly out of touch, he said. Karp seems to imply the stock can’t be too expensive, a notion that resonates more with Palantir’s partisan retail investors than with logic.

Singer-songwriter Tanita Tikaram wrote her huge hit Twist In My Sobriety, when she was only 16 years old. “That was a really loving community and a very musical one.”So was this when Tikaram discovered she could sing? “When I was a kid we used to just sing … But I can’t harmonise or sing properly. I don’t think that’s healthy.”Tikaram holds some strong political views. Do you just belong if you’re really, really rich?

“My customers have always put pen to paper, but in recent years they couldn’t find good stationery so they’d stopped writing letters. “Any kind of letter that’s handwritten is a love letter of sorts. “For my 30th birthday, my friends at home pitched in and bought me a gorgeous old writing desk; it was an old barrister’s desk.
