  • KILLING BONO a Nick Hamm Film
    KILLING BONO A Nick Hamm Film Production Notes Due for Release in UK: 1st April 2011 Running Time: 114 mins Killing Bono | Production Notes Press Quotes: Short Synopsis: KILLING BONO is a rock n’ roll comedy about two Irish brothers struggling to forge their path through the 1980’s music scene… whilst the meteoric rise to fame of their old school pals U2 only serves to cast them deeper into the shadows. Long Synopsis: Neil McCormick (Ben Barnes) always knew he’d be famous. A young Irish songwriter and budding genius, nothing less than a life of rock n’ roll stardom will do. But there’s only room for one singer in school band The Hype and his friend Paul’s already bagged the job. So Neil forms his own band with his brother Ivan (Robert Sheehan), determined to leave The Hype in his wake. There’s only one problem: The Hype have changed their name. To ‘U2’. And Paul (Martin McCann) has turned into ‘Bono’. Naturally there’s only one option for Neil: become bigger than U2. The brothers head to London in their quest for fame, but they are blighted by the injustices of the music industry, and their every action is dwarfed by the soaring success of their old school rivals. Then, just as they land some success of their own, Ivan discovers the shocking truth behind Neil’s rivalry with U2, and it threatens to destroy everything. As his rock n’ roll dream crashes and burns, Neil feels like his failure is directly linked to Bono’s success.

    An Garda Síochána Annual Report 2016 garda.ie 1 An Garda Síochána Annual Report 2016 Foreword by Garda Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan 2016 was a challenging year for An Garda Síochána, but also a positive one. As the country celebrated the centenary of the 1916 Rising, An Garda Síochána can look back with pride on its own role not only in ensuring public safety at the events throughout the country during the last year, but also the vital role the organisation has played through its history and continues to play every day in protecting and supporting our communities.

    Edited Interview with David Edwards in DIT, Catha) Brugha Street (1 0/12/2007) Mairtin Mac Con Iomaire (MM) David Edwards (DE) (note: The first part is a summary from memory and research notes. Side one of tape one was blank; the play button was pressed rather than the record button, dialogue begins with side two, tape one) 1. David was born on 7 May 1939 in the North Strand. His father worked for CIE in Broadstone and after the family lost their home in the Dublin bombing of the North Strand the family moved to Cabra West. He did his schooling in Cabra Convent, St Peters National School in Phibsboro, and then in O'Connell's School. He didn't like O'Connell's, he felt the brothers and some lay teachers looked down on students from Cabra West. There was always great variety of food in the Edward's home, with plenty of home baking and offal was frequently eaten. David would have cooked at home for the family. He saw an advertisement in the paper for a chef course in Catha! Brugha Street and applied. He sat an exam and did an interview and was awarded a scholarship. 2. He started Catha! Brugha Street in 1955 with eleven other students: Andy Whelan, Nicky Cluskey, John Degan, Oscar Gantly, Ted Leopold, Frank Stapleton, Brian Duffy, Aidan Murphy, Albert O'Callaghan and a boy named Dollllelly. There were two male teachers, Beaucaire Murphy who taught pastry and a Swiss chef called Johnny Annler. P.J. Dunne started teaching larder that year, coming from Jarnmet's, and Michael Ganly started the following year.
