More movie watching for you today.

Martin the Movie – in the west last weekend. It’s 10 minutes long and includes footage from Roscommon hospital protests, no mention of the similar health and services cuts in Northern Ireland from the government he is a part of. He said if elected he’d raise the issue with the Taoiseach in their regular meetings. He’s also talking about opening Aras an Uachtaráin on Christmas Day for the homeless – expect that kite to come to a debate near you soon. By the way he’s looking for you to use your smartphones to send videos to him.

This clip of Fr. Ted did the rounds a bit yesterday after Dana’s testy interview with Pat Kenny.
