Three Clare photographers have advanced to the next stage of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) ‘Reach for the Stars’ astrophotography competition.
The photographers feature in the online public vote that was launched this week by Tánaiste Leo Varadkar, during a private visit to DIAS’s Dunsink Observatory.
The three Clare photographers included in the online public vote are:
Frank Ryan Jr from Ballycasey and Jason Murphy and Caroline Gleeson from Ennis.
‘Reach for the Stars’ aims to find the best astro-photographs taken in Ireland over the past year. While a high-profile judging panel will select the overall winning entries, an online vote is running over the coming weeks, so members of the public can also have their say.
Fresh thinking on National Maternity Hospital impasse vital Influence of ethos and lack of clear State ownership are factors that do not serve women well

It is eight years since the project to co-locate the new National Maternity Hospital (NMH) at the Elm Park campus of St Vincent’s hospital was announced. Four years ago, a wave of public outrage followed the realisation, after years of dispute and mediation, that the new NMH would be owned 100 per cent by the Religious Sisters of Charity, then and still today the sole shareholders of St Vincent’s Healthcare Group (SVHG).

Gardening is one hobby that has helped the former minister for justice and defence take his mind off the events of 2014 that ultimately spelt the end of a three-decade career in politics.

It has been five years since the Glasnevin Wall was unveiled, opened with the lofty ambition to remember everyone, friend and foe, who died during Irelandâs revolutionary years, 1916-1923.
The Necrology Wall, to give the proper title, was inspired by the Ring of Remembrance at Ablain-Saint-Nazaire in France, which from 2014 has remembered 580,000 soldiers from all sides killed in the first World War.
Speaking in April 2016, then chairman of Glasnevin Trust John Green said every name represented âa story of heartbreak, no matter what side the person served on or indeed for those innocently caught up in the conflictâ.
âOne hundred years on, we believe this memorial reflects the time we live in, with the overwhelming majority of the Irish people wishing to live in peace and in reconciliation. But it is for each visitor to take from the wall what they wish.â
