Other conference coverage includes great contributions from members Gina Byrne and Patricia Coen on TG4's Nuacht, along with our colleague Seamus Ryan. Watch here from the seven minute mark, while Andy Pike spoke to Rachel English on RTE Radio One lunchtime news, and Pat McGrath also reported from the conference on RTE's lunchtime news.

Elsewhere, the news from conference gets an airing in Cork, Clare, and Galway.

Zen 

I met a delegate at the conference yesterday with whom I swapped some obscure musical recommendations. I'll be checking out the performer 'Adult Cinema' this weekend while they will check out the joys of Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan. 

Have a lovely weekend.
