Been working on smartglasses developments. Here's where we're at as of teatime, 27th August. 1. FlyeFit, one of the country's largest gym groups has confirmed its banned the wearing of Meta glasses on its premises - and has added the below to its rules page.

Statement from FlyeFit: The wearing, and use of, Meta Glasses is not permitted in the gym and we ask that members do not take video calls/photographs/videos on the premises or in the changing rooms or post such items or remarks on the internet that may identify another member.

This was a joy to work on. From Tennessee to Tallaght - looking at the remarkable legacy of Dolly Parton.. 5,000 kids in Tallaght get books sent to them every month because of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library 📚

cabo verde held both world cup finalists to a draw across 90 minutes and almost took argentina to penalties, easily the best performance anyone has put up against either team all world cup

Those of us who were invited to give expert evidence to the committee Expertise drawn from across the globe, & from jurisdictions that have decriminalised Were consistent in our evidence-based position Decrim doesn't increase drug misuse Criminalisation is a source of harm

The Report usefully contrasts the positioning of the State versus expertise on the question of decriminalisation State reps who spoke to the Committee – including from An Garda Síochána & Dept of Justice – were broadly against any change to the law Yet produced little evidence

Gov has been told three times By the Citizens' Assembly, and two Joint Oireachtas Committees That the evidence is clear that decriminalisation is necessary to achieve better outcomes for people who use drugs That criminalisation has failed Section 3 must now be repealed
