Super Slimming Weight Loss Tea Causes a Stir! Yes, it’s really true folks.... an ancient Chinese Lotus Leaf tea or Yo Chi Tea as it is known, is becoming a global sensation! You see, this is simply no ordinary tea; far from it in fact, this is an amazing revolutionary tea blend which, because of its ancient Chinese herbal properties, is helping people everywhere to shed excess weight quickly, naturally and safely, simply by drinking two cups of it every day. Weight loss and detox could not be any easier than this, ever! Already, everyone wants to get their hands on this natural miracle worker and let’s face it why wouldn’t they? Already, J-Lo is singing its praises (sorry, we couldn’t resist that little pun!), blissfully sipping it till her heart’s content as she marvels at its ben-

efits in terms of weight loss. Oprah too is a firm believer in it so if it is good enough for two of the world’s biggest showbiz celebs, we are pretty sure it is more than just a little bit good! The good news? Yo Chi is available in Ireland, exclusive to Therapie Clinic. Clinics have reported waiting list around the country as Therapie have been struggling to meet the demand for tea both in store and online with many customers eager to aid new year weight loss using a more holistic approach. Commenting on its arrival at Therapie Clinic, Manager Sarah Cagney said: “The response to Yo Chi Tea so far has been fantastic, it’s flying off the shelves! The great thing about Yo Chi Tea is it’s 100% natural, and has been proven to be effective in

aiding weight loss and detox in a easy, safe way” The blend contains Lotus Leaf, Oolong green tea and number of other ancient Chinese herbs, all of which have been specially selected because of their proven natural ability to purify and cleanse the body, and to essentially act as a nuisance in stopping the body from storing up food as excess weight, and burn excess fat which is stored in the body! Drinking Yo Chi weight loss tea can help to increase weight loss by up to 50%! Yo Chi Tea is exclusively available from Therapie Clinic nationwide, including Barronstrand Street in Waterford. Simply call them direct on 051 870 910 to order or find out more on www.yochitea.com.

Get your house certified ARE you selling, renting or leasing a property? If so, you need a BER certifiate. A Building Energy Rating (BER) is similar to the energy label for a household electrical appliance like your fridge. The label has a scale of A-G. A1rated buildings (residential or commercial) are the most energy efficient and G the least efficient. BER CERTIFICATE The certificate contains the following information: The building name and address, a BER number, the date of issue, the date until when the BER is valid, the BER assessor number and the assessor company number. LANDLORDS AND ESTATE AGENTS You are only required to have an energy rating carried out if you are selling or renting your house. It will be a legal requirement for the following to have a BER cert: Houses and apartments for which planning permission was applied for on or after 1st January 2007 Houses being rented or sold on or after January 1st 2009 Apartments being rented or sold on or after January 1st 2009 There are exemptions for certain categories of buildings, eg protected structures and certain temporary buildings PROSPECTIVE BUYERS OR TENANTS A BER enables you to understand the overall energy efficiency of a home. Since the 1st January 2009 BER ratings are required for any existing buildings offered for sale or rent, regardless of the age of the building. This means that if a property is re-let or sold, it must have a BER Certificate. The property owner, landlord or their agent will be able to provide you with more detail on the rating. HOW LONG IS A BER CERTIFICATE VALID FOR? A BER certificate is valid for a period of up to 10 years while there are no changes made to the dwelling that will negatively affect its performance. HOW IS BER CALCULATED? A BER for a house is calculated using the Dwelling Energy Assessment Procedure. (DEAP) software published by Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI). The DEAP software will also calculate the carbon dioxide emissions associated with the house. The BER calculation includes energy use for building fabric, space heating, water heating, ventilation and lighting and is calculated on the basis of standard occupancy.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS

Upgrade your with an HRI grant LAUNCHED by Michael Noonan in Budget 2014, The Home Renovation Incentive Scheme (HRI) offers a temporary window in which homeowners can save 10% on construction and up-grading work. The HRI enables homeowners or landlords to claim tax relief on repairs, renovations or improvement work that is carried out on their main home or rental property by tax-compliant contractors and that is subject to 13.5% VAT. It was introduced for homeowners in October 2013 and was extended to landlords in October 2014. The HRI is paid in the form of a tax credit at 13.5% of qualifying expenditure, which can be set against your income tax over 2 years. This effectively reduces the rate of VAT to zero on qualifying work (up to a value of €30,000). In general, qualifying work must be done between 25 October 2013 and 31 December 2015 (for homeowners) and between 15 October 2014 and 31 December 2015 (for landlords). RULES To qualify for the HRI as an owner-occupier, the work must be carried out on your principal private residence. As noted above, landlords can qualify in respect of work done on their rental properties. Whether you are a homeowner or a landlord, you must be up to date with your obligations under the Local Property Tax and, if applicable, the Household Charge. You must be paying income tax – whether under PAYE or self-assessment – to avail of the HRI. Any contractor you use must be registered for VAT in Ireland and be tax-compliant. Revenue has published a checklist for contractors. If several contractors, such as a builder, a plumber and an electrician, carry out qualifying work on your home, you can combine the cost of the works to make up the minimum qualifying amount. QUALIFYING WORK The type of work that qualifies for the HRI is repair, renovation or improvement work that is subject to VAT at 13.5%. This includes extensions, garages and attic conversions; the supply and fitting of kitchens, bathrooms and built-in wardrobes; fitting of windows; garden landscaping; plumbing, tiling, rewiring, plastering and painting. If you are having your septic tank repaired or replaced, or are installing a radon gas mitigation solution, these types of work also qualify for the HRI. Work on driveways and on rainwater harvesting systems can also qualify. Work that is subject to VAT at 23% (such as architect’s fees) is not covered. Neither are items such as furniture, white goods or carpets.

36 THE PARENT FILES

Waterford Mail 7 May 2015

Family life The Parent Files By Heather Campbell

Didn’t anyone tell you?

Little feet, Big Toddle

AS AN expectant mum or new mum, you have seen this list in some form before: the “things that no one tells you.” Well, most of those lists are missing a few things - here are just some of them... 1. You will rush through all of your meals as if you were in an eating contest. 2. Since your baby wants to mimic you, you will be forced to hand over expensive electronics and pray that they won’t be ruined. 3. You think your parents will help out, but they won’t be nearly as helpful as you hope. 4. You will become an adult and your non-adult friends will fade away. 5. You will think a lot about your relationship with your parents and notice how you are paradoxically becoming them and reacting against them. 6. No matter how great your relationship is with your spouse, you will experience more conflict than you ever did before. 7. You will be embarrassed and humbled by cleaning up poo, experiencing your child screaming in public and/or being that person who is slowing everyone down/getting in the way. 8. You will love your partner more than ever. Especially when daily sacrifices become acts of heroism. 9. You will hate your partner more than ever. Especially when you are bleary-eyed and under-appreciated. So basically, most of the time. You’ll have to tap into reserves of love, patience and tolerance you never knew you had. 10. You will make noises you did not know were possible in an effort to elicit a smile from your baby. Some of those sounds will be obscene. 11. You will learn that the symptoms of sleep deprivation closely resemble severe mental illness. 12. You will realize that you never knew this kind of deep love until now. 13. You’ll find yourself making up ridiculous songs with running commentary on your every move. 14. You will have the highest highs and the lowest lows, possibly all within microseconds of each other. 15. Although you may have appreciated oldies before, you will now catch yourself humming or singing nursery rhymes and ditties from the baby’s toys. 16. It’s hard to talk about anything other than baby. If you somehow manage to go on a date with your partner and make a concerted effort to avoid the subject, you will probably be rewarded with some awkward silences. 17. Taking care of your baby will swallow up all your time. You may go days without showering.

Sean, Romy, Holly, Jake and Lucy (L-R) launch the 12th Cow & Gate Big Toddle for Barnardos

W

ATERFORD’S toddlers are dusting off their shoes to become Little Heroes for the 12th Cow & Gate Big Toddle for Barnardos. Thousands of toddlers across Ireland are taking up the challenge to toddle a half-mile and raise €250,000 for Barnardos’ work with vulnerable children and families around Ireland. Mums, dads, grandparents, parenting groups, schools and crèches can register their Little Heroes for this fun sponsored walk now at www. barnardos.ie/bigtoddle. The Cow & Gate Big Toddle for Barnardos is a fun way to support the vital work that Barnardos does with children and families in communities all over Ireland. A Big Toddle can be held anywhere, anytime between 1st May and 31st June. Everyone who registers will receive a free Big Toddle pack in the post with all the fun things they need to organise a Big Toddle for their Little Heroes – hats, stickers, medals, posters and more! The entire cost of the pack and materials has been covered by Cow & Gate, so all funds raised by Ireland’s toddlers go directly to support Barnardos work. Speaking at the launch, TV3 Xposé presenter Aisling O’Loughlin says: “I am thrilled to be involved in this year’s Cow & Gate Big Toddle for Barnardos. “It’s a brilliant event that lets our toddlers become Little Heroes for a day– for some little ones this will be their first experience of helping other children their own age which is just a wonderful thing for children to learn from a young age.” Mary Gamble, Barnardos Fundraising Manager,

says: “The most recent CSO figures show that almost one in eight children in Ireland, more than the total population of County Mayo, are now living in consistent poverty. “Barnardos is here for these children and families, but we need your help to ensure this work can continue. By taking part in the Cow & Gate Big Toddle for Barnardos your Little Heroes will be helping to change these children’s lives.” “The great thing about the Big Toddle is that it can be held anywhere. Families can hold an event in their back gardens, or organise a group Toddle in their estate. Each and every step taken will have a huge impact on the lives of Ireland’s vulnerable children.” Susan Weldon, Brand Manager, Cow & Gate says: “We’re thrilled to be the sponsors again this year and we encourage everyone with toddlers to sign up today and get involved.” *100% of your donation goes to Barnardos across most network operators. Some operators apply VAT which means that a minimum of €3.25 will go to Barnardos. Service Provider: LIKECHARITY. Helpline: 0766805278

Food & drink THE Three Shippes shares a favourite recipe you can try at home... One of our most popular dishes is Red Thai Chicken Curry. This dish is nicely complimented by a light Italian wine or locally brewed Metalman pale ale. We hope to see you soon! INGREDIENTS (SERVES 4) • 1 tbsp rapeseed oil • 2 shallots, peeled and finely sliced • 400ml coconut milk • 200ml of fresh chicken stock (if available) • juice of 2 limes • 4 heaped tbsp red Thai curry paste • 1 tbsp fish sauce • 1 tbsp brown sugar • 4oz of mangetout • 2oz of baby corn, sliced in lengths • some fresh basil and coriander • 1lb of bite size chicken pieces • 9oz basmati rice and a tbsp of turmeric

A taste of Thailand Red Thai Chicken Curry & Saffron Rice

Intis, Chardonnay-Chenin From Argentina, 12.5% abv A cheap as chips, as frugal as French fries, this is a great value wine. On the nose it’s floral and intense. However, in the mouth it has zingy citrus and a little pineapple, but is not too dry, nor the finish overly sharp or long. If you ever find yourself having veal, this is perfect, or you could just enjoy it with “The Late Late Show”. Price: €7.99 a bottle

Red: Elagancia de Bernard Margez From Uraguay 12% abv

METHOD • Boil a pot of water and add turmeric, then add the 9oz of Basmati Rice and let it simmer for around 20 minutes. Then drain and wash off to cool. Put to one side.

For something a little different this week I’ve chosen this blend of Merlot, Tannat and Marselen. It has lots of red fruits on the nose and in the mouth with raspberries to the fore but with some cherry also - there is even a little aniseed in the mix too. It has a longer than expected finish, which warms you. I’d serve this with lamb dishes/ Lebanese food (although perhaps not a doner at 3am). Price: €16.99 a bottle.

• Heat the rapeseed oil in a medium pot and add chicken and chopped shallots. Sauté slowly until golden. Add Thai curry paste and chicken stock, simmer for 5 minutes and then add lime, fish sauce, brown sugar and lime juice. • Just as it’s all simmering, finally add mangetout, baby corn, and coconut milk • • Reheat your rice separately.

Craft beer at its purest DUNGARVEN Brewing Company is a young enterprise rapidly gaining in stature in the craft beer world with their ranges stocked in quality off-licenses, bars and restaurants throughout Waterford and Ireland Dungarvan Brewing Company was launched in April 2010 after a couple of years spent researching, planning and developing by the four founders. Head brewer, Cormac O’Dwyer believes that it takes quality ingredients, time, care and attention to detail to create the perfect brews and this is the methodology that he employs when brewing. All the beers are traditionally brewed and bottled onsite in Dungarvan, made using only four ingredients – Maris Otter malt, full leaf hop cones, yeast and the limestone rich water of West Waterford. The philosophy of the brewery is one

White:

of purity — they keep the beer in its purest form by bottle-conditioning it. No chemicals are added to the beers. They are unfiltered, unpasteurised and vegan-friendly. The core range consists of four beers – Black Rock Irish Stout, Copper Coast Irish Red Ale, Helvick Gold Irish Blonde Ale and Mine Head American Pale Ale– which are complemented with a selection of seasonal and festival beers throughout the year. This seasonal range includes Mahon Falls Rye Pale Ale in springtime, Comeragh Challenger Irish Bitter for summer and Coffee and Oatmeal Stout for winter. All the beers are craft brewed in small batches and by its artisan nature this can lead to slight variations by batch. Visit: dungarvanbrewingcompany.com

App of the week

Waterford Airport, Killowen

Kong (multi platform)

Waterford Airport is the only airport located in the South East of Ireland. Its Operational License was granted in 1981 and it has grown to become a successful international airport. This year VLM Airlines started operation of two routes from Waterford Airport including Waterford-London Luton and Waterford to Birmingham. The London route is a twice-daily, Monday-Friday service, with a Saturday and a Sunday service. VLM will also operate a four times a week service from Waterford to Birmingham. Tel: 051 846 600 or visit: www.flywaterford.com for more information.

Why send a selfie when you can send a...GIFie? Ok, I hope that doesn’t catch on, I’m sorry. Kong is an app that animates the average selfie by making quick GIFs of your beautiful mug super easy. You can add friends to the app and also export to other social media. The interface is super simple and straightforward. It’s worth at least some brief experimentation if GIFs are something you’re in to.

Movie of the week

If You Were Me, by Shelia O’Flanagan

Child 44

Carlotta O’Keefe has her wedding plans coming together nicely. Sure, she doesn’t feel that fire in her belly every time she sees her fiancé, Chris, but she knows that feeling doesn’t last... right? Chris is trustworthy and always there for her and everything else in her life is great. Until she runs into an old flame, Luke Evans – a guy who broke her heart years ago. Luke’s matured into a handsome and intriguing man. Suddenly, Carlotta’s life is thrown into chaos and she’s not so sure...

Safe House director Daniel Espinosa and The Wanderers and Clockers scribe Richard Price (adapting Tom Rob Smith’s novel) are hell bent on making Child 44 unlike other serial killer movies. There is a lot of work gone into the backstory, the setting, to building up the characters involved, and the politics surrounding the murders. In fact, it spends so much time doing this the whole serial killer aspect can get lost and forgotten about. To use a screenwriting parlance, it lays a lot of pipe.

City break: Very Venice LOCATED in the northeast of Italy, Venice is a romantic and enchanting city of turquoise canals, ancient palaces and serenading gondoliers. Listed as a World Heritage Site, the city’s contributions to art, architecture and music are evident round every corner. Whether you’re falling in love on a moonlit gondola ride or soothing your soul at an orchestral symphony, Venice promises to dazzle you with its artistic flair. VENICE IS BEST FOR...

The Seychelles

sheer paradise T

HE SEYCHELLES archipelago of over 100 islands has been called the closest place to paradise here on earth, and a 5-star holiday here certainly lives up to this claim. As well as isolated beaches with soft white sand and azure waters, you’ll also find lush plantations, striking granite rock formations and an incredible array of flora and fauna to explore. Combining

an unmatched natural beauty and uncrowded, secluded feel, a holiday in the Seychelles is the perfect place for a honeymoon hideaway or couples retreat. A great place to visit early in the morning is one of the thriving markets in Victoria, the capital of the largest island of Mahe. It’s a lively scene, bustling with vendors and buyers all vying for the best prices. Fresh fish, fruit and local

produce are all sold here. You’ll also find gorgeous coral souvenirs, jewellery and other gifts on sale from the friendly locals. Look out for the coco de mer coconut, an unusually shaped giant coconut, which is indigenous to the islands and is said to be a powerful aphrodisiac. For the ultimate in romance and style, don’t miss the opportunity to take a sunset cruise on one of

the islands’ traditional schooners. These beautiful boats have been sailing around the Indian Ocean for about a hundred years, and create the perfect silhouette against the sea. Sunset cruises depart every evening from Victoria Harbour, and include a delicious dinner on a desert island where a Creole buffet is served, and you can enjoy colourful and rhythmic music and dancing from local dance groups.

HONEYMOONERS: Fall in love all over again on a moonlit gondola ride along the Grand Canal. FESTIVAL GOERS: Take your pick from a rich programme of art and cultural festivals throughout the year. A highlight is the Venice Carnival, which is famous for its elaborate masks. ART ENTHUSIASTS: From ancient churches displaying goldplated mosaics to grand palaces decked in Renaissance art, there is a piece of culture on every corner of this fascinating city.

Puzzles CROSSWORDS There’s every likelihood of you starting this week energised, empowered - but in danger of taking on more than you can possibly achieve. It would take a brave person to point that out of course! Relations with close friends and partners could suffer as a result. Focus is on financial small print and ensuring that those who owe you, pay up as promised. You might also make savings by taking advantage of a discount available only this week. Tuesday could find you significantly empowered and in discussion with those who feel they’d benefit from your expertise. Through May and June, Mercury (your ruling planet) moves through your sign. This extended stay is unusual and suggested you’ll be mentally teased. At one level this should bring multiple options to your door. At another, your nervous system could be over-stretched. Following Monday’s Full Moon - and perhaps by adopting someone ‘s work ethic or attitude, you could feel empowered. It’s quite possible too that you could achieve a personal best. Delightful as this may be, in its wake there may be matters to address that you’ve never before considered. It’s not abnormal at this time of year for Leos to revaluate. Monday’s Full Moon could find you in the mood for doing just that - though true, it could be that mail (within which there is an ultimatum) prompts that line of thinking. Yet it might also be that the needs of those of another generation assume greater priority. Monday’s Full Moon promises a creative surge resulting in a super-productive week. Sabotage however could take the form of spreading yourself too thinly, or allowing those born under the Air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) to exert too much influence.

Monday’s Full Moon takes place just after Mercury and Saturn reach their halfmoon phase. These oppositions often mark turning points. This time it may be that you’re tuned into a time-line. Though spurred to get things done, it’s probable that others won’t understand your internal sense of urgency. Monday’s Full Moon is in your sign and occurs within hours of Mercury and Saturn reaching their half-moon phase. This could indicate a realisation or turning point. You might not be happy with a proposed deal (financial?) but may also find that if you hold out for more, you could lose more in the long-run. The week opens with Mercury at one side of the Sun and Saturn (moving through your sign) on the opposite side - and all within hours of a Full Moon. This is likely to mark a significant ‘make your mind up’ moment for many. It might even be you who sets the pace, making clear what needs to be done - and by when. Monday’s Full Moon comes hard on the heels of Mercury’s annual opposition to Saturn (your ruling planet). The combination suggests you’ll reach a turning point where how well a team is managed is of crucial importance. You may also be more aware of competition (or enemy action) than usual. You may be thinking that you’ve arrived at a turning point. For some this will be age-related. For others it could be about determining which ‘side’ you want to be on in an argument. By next weekend, the answer could surprise even you. Yet you too might yet be called to account. Mercury’s transit across the base of your chart is an unusually long one (until early July). At one level, it could feel as though you’ve attracted a prankster into your home. However, Saturn is now working its way across the apex of this same chart bringing with it an element of security and anchoring.

How to get younger looking hands %\ (PHU .HOO\ #( 67</( WE PUT on hand cream once a day and expect our hands to look better, not taking into consideration the harsh abrasive products our hands come into contact with multiple times a day. Your hands are only as good as the last product you put on them. When you clean an area with cleaning products and do not use gloves the products keep drying out your hands. OK, I know it’s not practical to apply hand cream every few minutes. But it is important to take the time to look after your hands. They do so much for us every day. 1. Apply a hand cream as often as you can. A hand cream with anti-oxidants will help keep your hands looking young. 2. Maintain your nails, using a colour on your nail always makes your hands look good. 3. Regular manicures, whether you go

to the salon or DIY, this step is vital exfoliate, mask, moisturise and push back your cuticles. 4. Paraffin wax – for some extra care, a paraffin wax treatment will help soften your hands. This is a fabulous treatment if you suffer from circulation problems. It also assists with soothing the pain of arthritis. Your hands are the only part of the body you see all day, yet, remarkably more time is spent on what other people see such as the face and hair. Invest time in your hands together with good products and you can accomplish a younger better looking pair of hands.

FOLLOW our ‘must have’ list to build a strong foundation of timeless pieces that can be paired with almost anything in your wardrobe. SHORT-SLEEVED WHITE T-SHIRT White tees become unwearable quickly, so skip the costly designer versions and buy a bunch of good-looking inexpensive ones. Then replace as needed. SHORT-SLEEVED BLACK T-SHIRT The best short-sleeve length is about 1/2 to 1 inch longer than a typical cap sleeve— it shows just the right amount of arm. LONG-SLEEVED WHITE T-SHIRT For a trim silhouette in white, choose a slim-fit T-shirt that skims your body but doesn’t cling. BLACK TURTLENECK Consider investing in cashmere: You get more warmth with less bulk. CRISP WHITE BLOUSE Softer looking than a button-down, a white blouse is a timeless addition to any wardrobe. CARDIGAN A neutral shade goes with everything, and a longer style that hits at the hip flatters most figures. A BLACK DRESS The “little black dress” is a cliche for a reason: It’s a wardrobe necessity. PENCIL SKIRT This classic piece should be tailored so it grazes the tops of the knees. BLACK TROUSERS To get the most from this wardrobe staple, select a style made of an all-season fabric, like tropical wool or viscose. SKINNY JEANS Once considered a trend, they are now a denim staple. Skinny jeans look best when they don’t fit too snugly at the waist. DENIM JACKET A dark wash and a slim fit look the most polished. CROPPED JACKET Made famous by Coco Chanel, this item has become a fashion mainstay. BALLET FLATS Equal parts sophisticated and practical, ballet flats are easy on the feet but more polished than sneakers. BASIC BLACK HEELS The workhorse of shoes, a good black heel can take you from day into evening without losing a step.

Waterford sounds Each week Brian Kennedy brings you the best of bands, groups and solo artists that Waterford has to offer. Golden Oldies Although the city is alive and vibrant with new upcoming acts there always seems to be a place for the guys of yesteryear. Never was it more apparent when recently acts like Dermot Power, Pat Comerford and Ben Delaney strutted their stuff in a variety of local hotels. And every one has made a significant mark on the city and county. Dermot Power had a trad session in the Granville, though it will always be Simon and The Showboat that the lead singer of the immensely popular Waterford group will forever be attached to. Dermot roots are in traditional music, Simon being formed out

Gig guide of the ashes of Simons Protégé in the late 60’s but would go on to front the Eagles themed Simon in 1972. Several decades later (and a fair few Simon reunions) his relevance is still important as a survivor who continues to ply his trade Suirside. In talking of Trad, Ben Delaney’s input has been immense. As a founder member of Drops of Brandy in 1978, the group made significant ground, bringing the single, ‘Drops of Brandy’, into the Irish top 10, before splitting in the mideighties, with Ben founding, Rip the Calico, in 1987. He was strutting his stuff in The Fitzwilton. The Granville hosted Pat Comerford, a surname synonymous with music in Waterford City. As part of The Comerford’s, Pat was a regular on the Suirside scene, literally packing houses where they went. He opted for more of a solo role in the 80’s but remains a blood link to possibly Waterford’s most famous music family. Pat also did a stint on a Friday night session in The Granville.

It’s 1919 and Russell Crowe’s Joshua Connor is an Australian farmer and water diviner whose three sons Arthur, Edward, and Henry are all missing and presumed dead following their exploits at the battle of Tripoli four years earlier. Unable to contain her grief for her missing boys and blaming Joshua for their deaths, Joshua’s wife Eilza (Jaqueline McKenzie) takes her own life. Following her suicide Joshua vows to bring his sons home to Australia so that he can bury them alongside her, and sets off to Turkey. Once there he becomes friendly with Ayshe (Olga Kurylenko), the widowed owner of the Istanbul hotel he is staying in, while he is assisted in his search by Major Hasan (Yilmaz Erdogan) and Colonel Cyril Hughes (Jai Courtney).

and the Arts Office organise the Waterford Writers Weekend annually and have witnessed t going from strength to strength each year. The Seán Dunne Award will continue to provide a platform for young writers and in 2015, twenty years after his passing, the life and work of the renowned Waterford poet will be honoured.

Unfriended unfolds on the twoyear anniversary of the death of poor Laura Barns, a high school girl who committed suicide after being repeatedly ridiculed by her classmates over a video of her passed out a party. Six classmates who were particularly cruel to Laura after the release of the video gather together on the anniversary for their nightly ritual of talking on Skype. However, when a seventh person arrives to speak to them using Laura’s old Skype account, things go from spooky to terrifying in an instant, and the half a dozen bullies are soon scrambling to survive. Its exploration of online bullying, how it can build and the very real repercussions that it can have on youngsters all simmers in the background but soon becomes an afterthought.
