Pictures of the passage and backstone within Leacht Ollamh Fodhla (or Cairn Bán, or the Hag's Cairn, or Cairn T), that was illuminated this morning with the rising sun of the Cónocht an Fhómhair.
Also an illustration that makes the markings easier to read.

On the Northside of the Cairn is a kerbstone called Cathaior na Cailleach, the Witch's chair, or the Judgment seat.
Sitting upon this throne the Cailleach, who is associated with the winter months, and is said to control the weather, the winds as well as the length and harshness of winter, could sit gazing off into the North.
Today it is said, if you sit here and make a wish, the Cailleach will grant it for you.

Some detail missing in a report about a vicious assault on a young schoolgirl who was dragged along the ground by her hair and punched in her head outside St Mel's Cathedral in Longford:
>This is my daughter and the irish mirror didn't make contact with me before they went to press. I wish they would be more specific with their headline. My daughter was attacked by 3 African girls , if it was the other way round and my daughter was the assailant then I'm sure everyone would be quick to highlight that the victim was an African girl, and it would be called a "racist attack".
The Mirror reference the mother's original remarks on facebook (posted in the the third image above) so they know what she said, but chose to cover it up in their report.

Sudanese national, Ahmed Adudu has been sentenced to seven months in prison for punching his barrister in the face during a sitting of Galway District Court.
Mr Concannon explained there was “a cultural disconnect with figures of authority” and he described his client was being “bounced around” quite a lot on his journey through Africa and all the way to Ireland.
Sergeant Aoife Curley, prosecuting, said Adudu had 15 previous convictions, including one for violent behaviour in a garda station.
Reading Dr O’Keeffe’s report, Judge Fahy noted Adudu had a propensity towards violence and there was a threat of violence towards gardai mentioned in the report.
She noted a nurse had been assaulted too but had chosen not to make a formal complaint against Adudu.

JUST IN - Hungary to hold a referendum on the EU's sanctions imposed on Russia, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announces.
"The sanctions were not decided democratically, but were decided by Brussels bureaucrats and European elites," he said on Monday.

Be funny if there was a low turnout and the unionists managed to sneak it. If it became a 3 or 4 horse race and Paddy couldn't decide between which half of jedward or what dragons den host they want as Uachtarán, unionists just standing one guy for the sake of it would probably end up winning.

There are two rates of jobsplus subsidy.
An employer can either be given €7,500 or €10,000 if they employ someone for two years who has been on the dole.
The different rates are dependent on the employee's age and how long they've been on the dole for.
The lower rate is also available to employers who employ someone refugee status, no other criteria attached.
So the subsidy was already discriminatory but now they're taking it a step further.
Employers will get the higher rate if the employee has a diversity factor.
