Ballycotton Residents 1995 - Divine Rapture Production Memories

Documentary about Irish actor Daragh O’Malley and his friendship with Marlon Brando Hi everyone, We’re currently developing an independent documentary about the unfinished 1995 Marlon Brando film Divine Rapture, which famously collapsed during production in Ballycotton, County Cork. At the centre of the story is Irish actor Daragh O’Malley, who ended up forming a genuine friendship with Brando during that chaotic period. Over the years Daragh has shared some extraordinary memories and stories with us about Brando, filmmaking, Ireland and that strange moment in cinema history when this huge Hollywood production came to an abrupt end. What makes the story even more unique is Daragh’s remarkable family history. His father, Donogh O’Malley, was the Minister for Education whose introduction of free secondary education transformed opportunities for generations of Irish people, while his mother, Dr Hilda Moriarty O’Malley, was the inspiration behind Patrick Kavanagh’s poem that later became the song On Raglan Road. We’re now bringing unseen archive material out of storage for the documentary, including original Divine Rapture footage, rare photographs and even voicemail tapes for Daragh left by Brando himself. I thought some people here might genuinely find the story interesting given the amount of Irish history, film history and cultural discussion in this community. We’ve recently launched a public campaign to help continue developing and filming the documentary, so I’ll include the link below for anybody interested in supporting the project. https://gofund.me/30dc214fc If a donation isn’t possible, sharing the project is every bit as appreciated and can really help! At some stage, once we’ve secured funding for the initial shoot, we’d also love to spend time in Ballycotton speaking to people who remember the production and were affected by its collapse. If anyone here was around at the time, or knows somebody who was involved in the production, I’d love to hear from you. I’d also love to know if any of you have favourite Daragh moments or performances over the years! Thank you so much, Chris

Dads, are you out there? I'm still looking for fathers in Ireland who would be willing to talk to me about how having a family has impacted on their careers and professional choices. It's for an Irish Examiner piece that will look at how today's men are spending more time with their children than previous generations did, how the gender gap in terms of time spent caring for children (and even domestic labour) between couples seems to be closing and how all of this is affecting men's working lives. Have you taken paternity leave or paternal leave for example? Maybe you're no longer as willing to work overtime. Or maybe you haven't been able to make changes but wish you had. Whatever your story, please contact me at [email redacted] #journorequest

Insurance Solicitors in Ireland - AXA Refusal of BMW-Approved Repairs

My car was recently hit by a driver insured through AXA Insurance Ireland, who accepted full responsibility for the accident. The damage included: Driver’s door Front wing Front wheel and tyre I requested that the car be repaired through BMW to ensure manufacturer approved repairs and safety standards were maintained. AXA refused on the grounds that labour costs were too high. Their reason? They say they will not pay more than €67 per hour labour, while BMW quoted €80 per hour, despite current Irish garage labour rates commonly ranging from €80 - €100+ per hour, with premium dealerships often charging considerably more. AXA have now given me two choices: 1. Use a garage chosen by them 2. Bring the car to BMW myself and personally pay the difference which could be anything between 400 and 700 euro. So despite their insured driver admitting liability, I am being pressured into either accepting repairs from AXA’s preferred garage or paying out of pocket to restore my own vehicle properly. This raises a serious question for Irish motorists: When an innocent driver is hit, should an insurance company be allowed to dictate where the vehicle is repaired! even when the requested repair costs are within normal market rates? Modern vehicles require specialist repair methods, manufacturer standards, calibration systems, and approved parts. For many drivers, this is not just about cost, it is about safety, quality, and protecting the value of their vehicle. I would like to hear from: Solicitors experienced in insurance or consumer rights. Journalists investigating insurance practices in Ireland. Anyone who has experienced similar treatment from insurers. If anyone would like to investigate or publish this story, I am happy to provide documentation and correspondence relating to the dispute. #Ireland #Insurance #ConsumerRights #BMW #AXA #IrishConsumer #MotorInsurance #Legal #Journalism

Immigrant Scientists in Ireland - Career & Finances

I did my undergraduate degree in Lagos. My MSc in Sheffield. My PhD in Dublin. When I arrived in Ireland to build a science career, I knew a lot about molecular biology and drug discovery. I knew almost nothing about Irish tax, Irish pensions, Irish property culture, or what to do with money in a country that was not the one I grew up in. There is no handbook for this. Nobody in your department explains it. The HR pack tells you about holiday entitlement. I figured most of it out late. Later than I should have. The immigrant professional experience in Irish STEM is one of the stories Good Money, No Plan tells. If you've navigated this — building a career in a country that wasn't yours — I'd like to hear from you. --- #GoodMoneyNoPlan #ImmigrantProfessional #IrishPharma #STEM
