Dance me... to the end of time

agenda.” e Leonard Tribe band, Cohen Unlimited, is to perform on September 8 in the Watergate eatre. e band are a group of professional musicians from Wicklow town who were formed to create an incredible show called ‘ anks For e Dance: e Leonard Cohen Story’ and ar fronted by Robert Doyle (pictured), a former professional photographer who now bides his time between Ireland and Spain. e idea for the show came from a charity event to raise funds for the RNLI and cancer support services in Wicklow a year after Cohen’s death in 2016, and singer Robert Doyle and musical director Fergal Cantebury were continuously being asked when would the show be on again. So just after the Covid crisis ended, they put Cohen Unlimited together.

Along with proposals to reduce the nishing age of cattle, to help reduce emissions, the MII report also proposes increased genetic research and the implementation of dairy breeding strategies that utilise the Commercial Beef Value Index, methane traits and carbon sub-index to ensure calves most suitable for beef production are produced, along with a national genotyping programme.

ICSA Beef chair Edmund Graham said under no circumstances could the payment structure for under 24 months cattle be recon gured without a rigorous consultation with farmer representatives.

"If meat factories want cattle nished earlier, they will have to pay signi cantly more than current prices. Finishing cattle earlier costs money and this will have to be factored into the beef prices they o er,” he said.

IFA Livestock Chair Brendan Golden said: "We are seeing lots of kite- ying from the Government and the broader industry about measures that would get the sector to its 25% climate target.

:However, we have not seen any concrete proposals around how farmers would be supported if these measures were taken," the IFA Livestock Chair said.

Cohen Unlimited sold out every performance in 2022 from Galway to Wexford, Dundalk, Belfast and Dublin and will embark on a tour in May and September, starting on Saturday, May 6, in Gorey e show features the poems and songs of the legendary Canadian and singer Robert tells stories and anecdotes between the songs about Cohen’s life, the story behind the songs and about meeting Cohen.

Little eatre, followed by performances in Galway, Waterford, Kilkenny, Ennis and Dundalk.
