Pic of the Day: Oh Sandy

Published on October 30, 2012 by in Pic of the Day

By the time most of us were in bed last night, those who live across the Eastern seaboard of the United States, and especially in New York, were bracing themselves for what is believed to be the biggest storm ever recorded in the Atlantic to hit the US. President Barack Obama has declared a “major disaster” in New York state after storm ‘Sandy’  caused flooding and cut power to millions and at least 15 people are reported dead across several US states.

Infographic of the Day: Emigration in Numbers

Published on September 28, 2012 by in Business, Infographics, Pic of the Day

Today’s infographic is also our pic of the day which appeared in the business section of today’s Irish Independent.

Today’s Irish Times carried a photo of a single red rose in front of the honour guard of firefighters from around Wicklow who were in Bray to mark the fifth anniversary of the deaths of firefighters Brian Murray and Mark O’ Shaughnessy. The two firefighthers lost their lives fighting a blaze in a disused factory  in the town. It is a reminder of the risks our emergency services take on a daily basis and is something we should never take for granted.
