Good News for Irish brands....

It seems some good news is coming for Irish brands who have been struggling to keep afloat due to consumers flocking across the border to shop. It has been announced that the tax (VAT) increase in the recent UK 'bloodbath' budget will be hiked up by as much as 2.5, from 17.5 to 20 percent - bringing them right up there with us, almost. Could this stop the influx of shopping up North or will you continue to travel in hopes of cheaper bargains?

Facebook - the movie!

It was only a matter of time before it got the Hollywood treatment but yep, Facebook, the movie will be coming to the big screen this Autumn. Mark Zuckerberg & Co's rise to fame flick is based on Ben Mezrich’s 2009 book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding Of Facebook, A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayal.
The film titled 'The Social Network' stars Jesse Eisenberg as Zuckerberg and Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker - founder of Napster and one-time Facebook president.
