FILMING is underway in north Belfast for a new Channel 4 sitcom created by two sons of Irish Hollywood icon Brendan Gleeson.

Frank of Ireland, a six-part comedy series from the producers of 2019 C4 comedy hit This Way Up starring Kildare comedian Aisling Bea, is being shot on location in Belfast with crews filming scenes yesterday on the Crumlin Road.

Written and starring brothers Brian and Domhnall Gleeson, sons of Harry Potter and Gangs of New York star Brendan Gleeson, Frank of Ireland tells the story of a hopeless fantasist and failed musician Frank, who still lives with his mother in his 30s, and his sidekick 'Doofus'.

Set in Dublin and described as containing a "physical and ridiculous brand of humour with an original twist", the show is the latest Irish-shot sitcom aiming to secure success on Channel 4, following Derry Girls, which has went on to garner a global audience through being aired on Netflix.

The character of Frank is played by Brian Gleeson, previously nominated for an Irish Film and Television Award for his role in RTÉ crime drama Love/Hate, while Domhnall, who like his father appeared in the Harry Potter franchise, playing Bill Weasley, plays Doofus.

Filming for the sitcom began in both Belfast and Dublin earlier this year, before the coronavirus pandemic forced cameras to stop rolling.

Producer Sharon Horgan, who alongside Clelia Mountford is bringing the show to life with their production company Merman, said: "Working with the Gleeson Brothers has been like living in a very funny, existential dreamscape.

"I laughed so much making the pilot that it became annoying. So Clelia and I are very glad and relieved they still chose to make this series with us."

Frank of Ireland will begin airing at a date yet to be announced by Channel 4, and the series will reach North American audiences through Amazon Prime.

Uno degli ultimi elicotteri Wessex in Irlanda del Nord ha compiuto il suo ultimo viaggio

L’elicottero del British Army verrà esposto nel museo della Crumlin Road Goal a Belfast.

Velivoli come questi, era usuale vederli sorvolare i cieli del Nord Irlanda durante i Troubles,  “cavalli di battaglia” delle forze armate britanniche che trasportavano truppe e visitatori VIP.

L’elicottero fu dato in dotazione alla RAF di Aldergrove (Co. Antrim) a partire dal 1969, come parte del Support Helicopter Detachment, l’Ulster Flight.

30 elicotteri Wessex, con base in Nord Irlanda, restarono in attività fino al 2002 quando furono ritirati dal servizio.

Prima di intraprendere il suo ultimo viaggio fino al museo della Crumlin Road Goal, l’XR 529 Echo era stato Gate Guardian (monumento militare, ndr) presso il Quartier Generale della stazione di Aldergrove.

La prigione di Crumlin Road venne chiusa nel 1996. Venne poi riqualificata come museo nel 2012, e nel 2014 ospitò Regina Elisabetta II.

Phelim Devlin, direttore della Crumlin Road Gaol, ha descritto l’arrivo dell’elicottero come “una parte importante nella prossima fase di sviluppo in prigione”. “Speriamo che la stagione turistica inizi a Pasqua per aggiungere una nuova tipologia di tours che si focalizzerà maggiormente sui Troubles: il Wessex rivestirà un ruolo importante, aiuterà a raccontare il ruolo della RAF e del British Army in quel periodo”. “Siamo assolutamente lieti di averlo ottenuto, e siamo molto grati alla RAF per avercelo donato”.

Il Wessex sarà in mostra a partire da Pasqua, dopo i lavori di restauro.

British Army helicopter takes final journey to Crumlin Road Gaol (Irish News)

One of the last Wessex helicopters in Northern Ireland has made its final journey.

It is to go on permanent display at the Crumlin Road Gaol visitor attraction in Belfast.

The aircraft were once a common sight over the skies during the Troubles as the “workhorse” of the British armed forces transporting troops and VIP visitors.

The helicopter had been based at RAF Aldergrove in Co Antrim from 1969 as part of the Support Helicopter Detachment, the “Ulster Flight”.

There had been 30 Wessex helicopters based in the north, which were active until 2002 when they were retired from service.

XR 529 Echo was retained as a Gate Guardian for the Station HQ at Aldergrove.

Today, it made what is expected to be its final journey to Crumlin Road Gaol museum to go on permanent display.

Crumlin Road Gaol closed as a prison in 1996.

It re-opened as a tourist attraction in 2012 and welcomed the Queen as a visitor in 2014.

Phelim Devlin, director at Crumlin Road Gaol, described the arrival of the helicopter as “an important part in the next phase of development at the jail”.

“We are hoping for the tourism season starting in Easter to add a new range of tours,” he said.

“It is going to focus more on some of the recent Troubles. The Wessex is going to be an important part of that, it’s going to help tell of the role of the RAF and the British Army during that period.”

The helicopter will be on display beside the last remaining army sangar on the site.

“We are absolutely delighted to get it, and very thankful for the RAF for giving it to us. We think it will be a brilliant addition,” he added.

The helicopter will go on display at Crumlin Road Gaol from Easter following restoration work.

hey kellie! i'm studying in ireland for 4 months and i'm going to have lots of time to travel - where are some cool places i should visit?

1. ME

Okay it obviously depends where you're studying, but honestly? Dublin is so overrated I hate Dublin.

Galway is really nice, as is Donegal. Donegal is like the holiday spot for Catholics, especially Bundorin. You gotta hit the Giants Causeway up north, and you could have a snoop around Belfast when you're there. In Belfast the Crumlin Road Gaol is interesting, and the Ulster Museum is free and it's right beside Botanic Gardens.

If you like game of thrones there's loads of got tours as well!

ESPN's Thompson on McGregor's Journey From Crumlin to Superstardom UFC News

  Just before Christmas, the drug dealers hanging on a north Dublin corner saw Conor McGregor's white BMW turn down their dead-end road. They couldn't believe it. Sheriff Street was among the worst streets in the city, blocked off at one end, the area controlled by one of the two local gangs. The Hutch family ran this part of the north side, while the Kinahans operated mainly in the neighborhoods south of the river dividing the town. Some of the Kinahan bosses and foot soldiers lived in Crumlin, where McGregor grew up. The two gangs were in a bloody feud that had Dublin on edge and th ...

The Little Review was seized by the Post Office in January, not because of the contribution by James Joyce, but because of the inclusion of some nude drawings.

In mid-January approximately 5,000 soldiers mutiny in Southampton, taking over the docks and refusing to obey orders.  Lies had been told and the men had thought they were to be discharged when they were being sent to France.  Sir Hugh Trenchard surrounded the mutineers with soldiers and military police.

There was a melee between US sailors and British soldiers on board the Rosslare express train from Cork.  Most of the windows were broken when the train arrived in Waterford and a number of the American sailors were injured. One was missing, and was later found, fighting fit, in Dungarvan.

In Belfast more than 20 Sinn Féin prisoners climbed on to the roof of the prison where, over the course of two hours, they waved republican flags and sang Sinn Féin and other songs to a large crowd that assembled on Crumlin Road.  Their protest ended when members of the crowd began throwing stones at the protesters on the roof despite a police presence.

 ‘I can declare that the spirit of the prisoners, so far from being broken, has grown more robust since their entrance to the jail.’ - Count Plunkett

 ‘In January, 1919, Cork Brigade, which was made up of about twenty battalions and embraced the whole of Cork County, was divided into three Brigades.  Our Battalion (Bandon) became the 1st Battalion, Cork III. Brigade.

The other battalions in the Brigade area were, as far as I can recollect, - Clonakilty (2nd), Dunmanway (3rd), Skibbereen (4th), Bantry (5th). The 0/C., Cork III. Brigade, was Tom Hales who, up to the formation of the Brigade, was O/C. Bandon (1st) Battalion. I cannot recollect the names of the other officers on the Brigade Staff.

During 1919, beyond normal training, which was becoming slightly more advanced -selected members were being trained in scouting, signalling and the use of arms - there was no unusual activity in Company area.’ – Laurence Sexton.

The British army is called in to deal with Scotland’s most widespread strike since 1820.

Robbie Lawlor: 'Single gunman' murdered Dublin man in Ardoyne

A single gunman murdered a 36-year-old Dublin man in north Belfast on Saturday, police have said.

Robbie Lawlor was shot multiple times outside a house on Etna Drive in Ardoyne at about 11:50 BST.

Mr Lawlor was a suspect in the murder of a 17-year-old in County Louth in January. It is understood he was a senior figure in a feuding criminal gang.

Three men and a teenager have been arrested over the killing.

The men are aged 27, 30 and 33, while the teenager is 17 years old.

Three were detained on Saturday - the fourth was arrested on Sunday.

The police have described the killing as "brutal".

On Sunday evening, PSNI Det Supt Jason Murphy said the murder weapon had not yet been recovered, although two properties, one in west Belfast and one in Crumlin, were searched.

Mr Murphy said he did not believe Mr Lawlor was in Ardoyne on Saturday "by accident".

"I believe he had some reason to be there and key lines of enquiry for me, at this stage, are to establish why he was there and what his connection to the address is," he said.

Mr Lawlor was well known to gardaí (Irish police) for his involvement in serious and organised crime, according to RTÉ (the Irish broadcaster).

RTÉ said he had more than 100 previous convictions and had been warned by gardaí that his life was in danger before he travelled to Belfast.

He was also a suspect for at least three other gangland murders.

Det Supt Murphy said he was keen to hear from anyone who was in Etna Drive between 11:00 and 12.30 BST on Saturday, and who may have witnessed the shooting or the gunman escaping.

He also appealed for help in tracing the movements of a VW Sirocco car, registration YLZ 7052.

"I believe it was in Estoril Park on Friday and was burnt out in Kingston Court immediately after the murder yesterday," he said.

Neighbours had previously described how they tried to save Mr Lawlor.

One man said he "heard four big bangs and ran outside to see what was happening".

He said he saw him "stumbling out of the garden" and that he ran over to help him after he collapsed.

"I tried doing CPR but I couldn't save him," he said.

Another witness said she ran to help but that Mr Lawlor was already dead so she put a sheet over him to "give him some dignity".

Seventh Death on Irish Docks Sparks Call for Action

The ITF has joined Irish dock workers union SIPTU in an urgent call for better protection for all workers in Ireland’s ports, through both regulations and enforcement, after a 50-year-old truck driver was killed in North Docks at Dublin Port on August 14.

The death of Nicholas Collier marks the seventh death of a worker in an Irish port in the past two years. Published reports indicate a refrigeration unit was being loaded onto the back of the driver’s truck when he was struck and killed by another vehicle.

In July, 59-year-old Kevin McGeough was killed in a workplace accident in Warrenpoint Port. In November 2018, seafarer Dennis Gomez Regana was killed in a lashing accident on Southbank Quay in Dublin city.

Paddy Crumlin, chair of the ITF Dockers’ Section, said: "We call on stevedoring companies to reassess their working practices and health and safety protections for workers. These companies must undertake proper risk assessments of all cargo-handling procedures in consultation with their workforce.

“It's not good enough, it's not acceptable, that workers are being killed because of shoddy safety practices and short cuts that save time and put money in the pockets of those that should actually be punished.

“This is why industrial manslaughter laws are so important because they not only provide an avenue to true justice for the families of those people killed at work, but because the implementation and enforcement of industrial manslaughter laws will force the cultural change that will hopefully lead to fewer deaths at work,” said Crumlin

Jerry Brennan, Ports, Docks and Harbour Organizer for the SIPTU told media that tragedies are occurring with frightening regularity. “It is beyond my comprehension how the construction industry has had the benefit of a national safe-pass certificate requirement for almost 30 years and yet there is no such corresponding national requirement within our ports and docks.”

Heather Humphreys, Ireland’s Minister for Business, has agreed to meet  SIPTU and ITF representatives to discuss safety solutions.

International reports indicate port deaths occur at a rate of more than one per week of the year, says the ITF.
