Energetic dogs need exercise and mental stimulation and socialisation opportunities with other dogs and people. They need freedom from a leash and the chance to roam in a larger area, a safe space for dogs to play and interact.

Many park users (and dogs) are afraid of other dogs, and, let’s face it, a minority of dog don’t know how to use a poo-bag.

A designated dog park is the ideal solution for this. Look at the ones in Corkagh Park, Marlay Park and St. Anne’s Park in County Dublin – rarely do you see a dog off the leash outside of these areas in those parks.

There are a number of areas that can faciliate this – one of the two fields by the car park, the field opposite the playground, or the area by Morell opposite the GAA/Soccer pitches (circled below).

Dog Park for Monread Park, Naas As dog ownership in Naas has increased, so too has the demand for safe, enclosed areas where dogs can exercise freely, without disrupting other park users. At present, the park does not have a designated space for off-lead dogs, which has led to safety concerns and limited opportunities for responsi...

After watching Adolescence on Netflix, while I thought it was technically brilliant and strong performances (especially the kid and Stephen Graham)… it didn’t hit me as hard as Buy Now, also on Netflix.

Buy Now genuinely shocked me. I feel I'm savvy enough to know that companies try to brainwash us all into buying, but the level of waste and bu****it they produce was vastly more than I thought. I'm now wondering should I ever buy from Amazon, Shein, Temu, or indeed 99% of online stores at all.

If you haven't seen it, check it out (don't let the annoying fake-bot presenter put you off). Curious what others thought of it too. 👀📺💥

Did you know that the 'smiley' was invented by Harvey Ball, a commercial artist from Massachusetts, in 1963?

As the years passed Harvey Ball became concerned about the over-commercialization of his symbol, and how its original meaning and intent had become lost in the constant repetition of the marketplace. Out of that concern came his idea for World Smile Day.

He thought that we, all of us, should devote one day each year to smiles and kind acts throughout the world.

The smiley face knows no politics, no geography and no religion. Harvey’s idea was that for at least one day each year, neither should we.

He declared that the first Friday in October each year would henceforth be World Smile Day.

So, today, share a picture of your lovely smile (every smile is lovely) and, most importantly, do something kind for someone.
