Real Madrid Partners With The Irish

Real Madrid will be spending some of their pre-season training in Ireland. Real Madrid will stay for 10 days in Carton House, which takes place from July 13 to 22 will also include one match as part of their training programme.


The move comes as Real have appointed the Irish sports management Platinum One as their official partner for their 2009/2010 pre-season training and will see the new coach Manuel Pellegrini take the Spanish giants to Kildare's Carton House for ten days next month.


At the moment it is unclear as to who will face Raul, Robben and new singings Kaka and Ronaldo may well make their debut, however, it has been rumoured that Shamrock Rovers will lie in opposition for the Galacticos.

Tax Free Jobs

Irish teachers who want to get away from the recession and the rain may be tempted by vacancies in Bahrain, which are offering a tax-free salary of €70,000.


Bahrain Polytechnic is looking for two dozen teachers to work in a variety of roles in the Middle-Eastern college. All jobs are open to people who are successful in their profession or industry.


The Polytechnic, which opened last September, has a unique Irish connection. Gerry Murray, the chief executive of the Institute of Technology Ireland, is the only non-Bahraini on the board of the institute.


There are currently 400 students attending the facility and it is hoped that a further 1,200 students will join in September.


Mr Murray said the institute already had an international teaching force and was looking to Ireland to recruit candidates who were “pioneers” and would work with passion, compassion and creativity.


The positions, which also include living allowances, are available for a minimum of two years.

Remembering The Fallen

The names of more than seven thousand Irish soldiers who were killed during the Second World War will be brought together for the first time today in a roll of honour.
The 7,500 officers, who served in the British armed forces, will be unveiled at Trinity College Dublin and a copy will be on display for the public to read in the College’s library.

More than 3,600 men and women from the South are thought to have died serving in the British Forces between 1939 and 1945.

Almost 3,900 men and women from Northern Ireland died while in service.

Sam Worthington - Terminator

Ok, we saw Terminator and every one left the theater saying it was a good movie and that Sam Worthington was a not only a good actor and Terminator, but a hottie as well. I think my man Gareth actually has a bit of a crush on him. lol
