informed and it needs to be followed up,” he said. Director of Services, Michael Quinn said a survey of the network was carried out and there was damage to the pipes. He said one of the problems was that people had built up over the sewerage network and currently there were funding constraints to address the problem. Mr. Quinn said he would contact Irish Water and draw their attention to the matter, but the chances of it making a priority list were quite small.

Peter Capaldi's first full episode as the Doctor – Deep Breath – will be screened in SGC Dungarvan on 23rd August, 2014. Doctor Who makes a spectacular return to the big screen in the feature-length premiere episode of Series 8, Deep Breath. Directed by acclaimed director Ben Wheatley (Sightseers, A Field in England) and written by lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat, the beginning of the Twelfth Doctor’s era stars Peter Capaldi as the Doctor, Jenna Coleman as his companion Clara Oswald and sees the return of fan favourites The Paternoster Gang – Madame Vastra (Neve McIntosh), Jenny Flint (Catrin Stewart) and Strax (Dan Starkey) – in a pulse-racing adventure through Victorian London. Steven Moffat comments, "Last November the Doctor didn't just conquer the world on television, he did it in the cinemas too. And like the show-off he is, he can't resist another go - one taste of the silver screen is never enough. On August 23rd the new Doctor will begin his new adventures on BBC One and in cinemas all over the world. Movie-land beware - Capaldi is coming to get you!"

IRISH passport holders abroad could soon acquire representation in the Senate, following observations made by Minister for the Diaspora Jimmy Deenihan. The minister was speaking during a ‘thinktank’ discussion with local tourism and service representatives at the Youghal Comhaltas Brú na Sí headquarters. Responding to suggestions that voting rights would instil “a sense of belonging” to the estimated one million Irish passport holders worldwide and thus encourage them to visit, Minister Deenihan said it would be impractical to provide full voting rights as there could be more voters outside a constituency than within it. However, he would advocate voting rights for Presidential elections and also the appointment of three senators, each serving the interests of the diaspora in either the
Americas, UK/Europe or Australia/the remainder. They “could prove to be worth more than the taxpayer is paying to have them there,” he continued. “They would be making a very important connection with the diaspora and could be using that connection to pursue investment. It would be a two-way process.” It was the minister’s first public pronouncement on issues relating to the newly formed Diaspora remit within the Department of Foreign Affairs. He said he had informed Taoiseach Enda Kenny “when he was compensating me,” he joked that there was no point in having the new portfolio “unless there is some action plan” to accompany it. “The last thing you want to do is build up hopes and not deliver,” he elaborated. “It could become counter-productive if people don’t see results.”
