Sligo Co Council urged to contact Uisce Éireann to find out why they were not at Storm Éowyn meeting
In a motion, Cllr Barry Gallagher has called on Sligo County Council to contact Uisce Éireann in relation to why they did not send representation on their behalf when invited to the Council's Storm Éowyn meeting on May 26. His motion also wants to get an update on what protocols Uisce Éireann have put in place following Storm Éowyn to future proof that the same issues do not happen again. Cllr Gallagher's motion also asked for an update on what Uisce Éireann is doing to reduce the connection offer wait time from 16 weeks and also the actual connection wait time which can be up to another 16 weeks. He said that this was 'totally unacceptable' from an Irish Utility Company, and the motion was adopted. Cllr Gallagher said the connection wait time was particularly 'serious'. He said a housing estate in Sligo town had been waiting nearly twelve months for a connection and there were over 50 houses built and the houses could not be sold because there was no water connection. He added that in South Sligo, funding was got for a toilet and an application to get a connection had been made last October and they were told that contact would be made within twelve weeks. Mr Gallagher said that the 13th week arrived and 12 weeks later the applicants were told that it should be a business application rather than a domestic application and they are still waiting to get a quotation for a connection.

Cork beauty entrepreneur reveals the secret to his multi-million euro collaborations
It is said you should never mix business with pleasure, but for Cork-based beauty businessman Kieran Walsh, linking up with two firm pals in the form of Vogue Williams and Lisa Jordan, has been one of the most fortuitous business decisions of his life. Mr Walsh, who owns and operates the massively profitable beauty distribution company National Beauty Distribution, from his hometown of Cork, has told that a late-night tete-e-tete with firm friend Vogue Williams, was to prove the beginning of a beautiful business relationship. 'So Vogue and I knew each other for years from press stuff,' Mr Walsh told Extra. Vogue Williams with Kieran Walsh. Pic: Instagram 'And we kind of had this casual friendship where we would chat about different things in the industry,' he continued. A self-made entrepreneur with his finger on the pulse of the beauty sphere, Mr Walsh had the inklings of an idea of launching a new tan brand into the beauty market. Kieran Walsh. Pic: Instagram 'So I had been thinking about the tan category myself for a long time. I always thought that it's kind of broken,' he said 'I owned an apartment, and I was renting out at the time to two women, and I used to listen to them talking about tan, and how it stank, destroying bed sheets, so that just got me thinking about those two main kinds of problems with tan.' And a random Sunday evening casual chit-chat with Vogue Williams was to bring his idea to fruition in the form of Bare by Vogue. Kieran Walsh with Vogue Williams. Pic: Instagram 'So then Vogue and I were chatting one Sunday evening. I just messaged her on Instagram, and I said, 'like, we're talking about doing a tan.' So she rang me and she said, 'this is so weird. I was going to the office tomorrow to sign a contract for a two-year deal with a tan brand'.' 'So I said, 'don't do anything. I'll be over on Tuesday'. So I flew over and we agreed a deal that day,' recalled Mr Walsh. Bare by Vogue is now one of the biggest selling tan brands in Ireland and across the pond in the U.K, netting millions for the business-minded pair of Mr Walsh and Vogue. And as well as Vogue, Cork born Kieran also collaborated with his former school friend and fellow Corkonian Lisa Jordan. Kieran Walsh with Lisa Jordan. Pic: Instagram 'So with Lisa Jordan, I had been talking about doing makeup back as far as 2015,' Mr Walsh told Extra. 'So in 2017, we finally came to the market with the Luna by Lisa brand, and we launched four lip glosses.' In the past eight years, Luna by Lisa has grown exponentially, with her beauty range now a multi-million euro earner for Walsh and Influencer Lisa Jordan.
