[...] the Bang Cafe on Merrion Row has shut down last month – this most probably explains the removal of Michelin’s Bib Gourmand recognition – with some major mismanagement hanging over the head of the owners, the Stokes brothers. And [...]

Comment on Frivolous laws? by Catherine

Hi,

I recently returned to France, my native country, after a dozen years in Ireland. From Dublin, maybe that blasphemy law sounds outdated, and maybe it is. But frankly, looking at the nasty discussions France is having every single day,mostly because of Muslims trying to impose their ways throughout France, I wish we had a super conservative gouvernment 40 years ago, or that the separation between Church and State had not accured in 1905. I wish we had a constitution that states and carves in stone who we are and I don’t give a damn if that sounds narrow minded. It is quite awfull when the identity of your nation, the one your ancesters have been living for at least 5 centuries (that’s has far as I have been abale to go in my family history) , is being put in question , “renegociated” with recent economic migrants.
Every human needs a strong base to build upon, and for most human it’s national identity is a large part of it.

during a discussion (not sure whether its true or not) – regarding blasphemy law – some friends said that in the constitution there was no actual law about it (more of something along the lines that – … is wrong .. becoz of blasphemy law) .. so before removing that clause from constitution, they needed to have an actual law. Sounds far stretched but thats what i heard :)

Oh De, not your cuppa tea? But one thing, it’ll be easy to recognise and thus less likely to be stolen.

Cute? God no.

Those wheelie bins are bad enough without having your eyes being drawn to them by those big garish clown and dog ‘faces’.

Hi Lil, Thanks for that and sorry for the slow response. I think we could debate about WiFi, it seems to me that about €1.70 per month for very fast WiFi would be a pretty good deal, even if you didn’t get the other benefits of Science Gallery membership plus, like free entry to preview events (saving approximately €7.50 each time) and 10% discounts on cafe and event tickets. I do appreciate that people who joined early have got used to having lots of nice benefits for free. However I think this is still really great value, and it helps us put on exhibitions without charging an entrance fee to the space, something we are extremely keen to avoid. I just wanted to mention that Members who really get involved in the Science Gallery, whether by organizing events or running workshops for teenagers, by being selected to exhibit their creations in the gallery, etc, can be invited to become Science Gallery Ambassadors, and will get all the benefits of Membership Plus for free. We will be announcing more details of the Ambassadors programme soon, but I do want you to understand that Membership is part of a bigger strategy which is all about rewarding the core group of people who participate creatively in the Science Gallery. In just a few days 88 people have already joined up as Members Plus, and this will allow us to run an event in the Science Gallery that would not otherwise have been possible. Again, thanks for the feedback, and we are certainly very interested in what you and others say as we refine our membership model and review the benefits. If you’d be interested in coming into the gallery for a chat about this I’d be delighted to meet for a coffee? All best, Michael John
