  • Cry from the Sea
    CRY FROM THE SEA A FILM BY VIC SARIN THE STORY In the aftermath of World War One and the Irish Civil War, Seamus Óg Mac Grianna leads a solitary life, tending to a lighthouse on a picturesque island of Ireland’s coast, whose rocky, sea-battered shores mirror the turmoil inside him. Each morning, Seamus rows out to the spot where his son drowned a decade earlier and visits a graveyard next to the lighthouse. Each night he drinks alone in the pub. His only company is Maire, a spinster who sees to his every need and quietly longs for him. But Seamus is forced out of his routine of isolation when he fnds himself at war with the island’s new priest, who insists Seamus’s late wife should be buried in the consecrated ground of the church cemetery, rather than a private plot next to the lighthouse. As Seamus struggles against pressure from the villagers, he fnds an unexpected ally in Edith, a visiting American war widow whose husband died in the very wreck Seamus’s son was searching for when he drowned. Edith and Seamus bond over their shared grief, much to Maire’s displeasure. As this complicated new relationship gives rise to forgotten feelings and the priest’s eforts to reinter his wife push him to a breaking point, Seamus must leave behind the comfortable sadness of his life and face the risks that come with openness, hope and change. To let his love for the family he lost not lock him inside himself, but radiate outward.

Blood runs down her legs Sand the scent of charred meat lingers on her flesh. It hurts to walk but she staggers home to parents that don’t seem to notice. They can’t keep their hands off each other and, besides, they have a new infant, sweet and wobbly as a jelly baby. Peach must patch herself up alone so she can go to college and see her boyfriend, Green. But sleeping is hard when she is haunted by the gaping memory of a mouth, and working is hard when burning sausage fat fills her nostrils, and eating is impossible when her stomach is swollen tight as a drum.

Last year also saw one of the most significant advancements in competition law in recent years, with the publication of the European Commission’s proposal to empower Member States’ competition authorities to be more effective enforcers (ECN+ Directive). This Directive is particularly important to Ireland as we are currently out of line with most European countries in our ability to detect competition law breaches. Having the ability to impose financial penalties would enable us to better deter, detect and investigate breaches of competition law. Over many years, we have advocated for the introduction of these penalties and we welcome the significant progress that has been made in this important area of competition law. Making an impact Although we are a relatively small agency, compared to our counterparts internationally, we are a young organisation with considerable energy and much ambition. Having both a competition and consumer protection remit allows us to assess market issues holistically and propose effective remedies. Following an initial investment in recruitment and training, we have successfully created the operational models required to guide our work and to realise the advantages of examining markets with a 360 degree perspective.
