Saturday Costello Fever

Pub: 4 (Friday: Wicked Chicken; Saturday: Collins, Flannerys, Costello)
Alcohol units: 4


Incredible news, they changed the floor in the costello upstairs, a new hardwood floor for the dance floor and new carpets (dark green, same colour as the hold one, i wonder if it was the same

Part of the legend of the place is changing, but don't worry it should not take too long before you can smell guinness on that new floor.





I definitely need to take more pictures of the place (and with a camera, not my phone).

Note: a small precision, as unbelievable it can be for people knowing the Costello, this is not an april fool joke

Irish statistics

Today, the result of the Irish census are published (by the Central Statistics Office ), interesting figures:
- 8.2% increase of the population over the last 4 years ( 2002-2006 ), There has 33 000 babies during that period and 46 000 immigrants.
- Population average age : 35.6 years
- 100.1 males for 100 females (all ages)
- 103.4 males for 100 females (all ages)
- Over 43% of singles 46% married. There is also an increase of marital breakdown.
- 10.4% of the population is born outside of the ROI ( 7.5% from the EU )
- The census reveal 63000 people from Poland and 24808 from Lithuania. And 9307 from France (4700 registered in the Ambassade ).
- 4 out of ten of new build houses (Irish Independant), are empty.... it smells like speculation.. and the building bubble might soon explode... 25% of the houses build since 2002 are empty ... and they keep building.
Worst the houses are badly insulated, and build very (too) fast.

You can summarize it by: the population is 10% of non-irish national, getting older. Divorce are on the increase, women have less child and family are smaller. Islam is now the third religion...
