It's difficult to describe this picture as I'm not sure what I'm looking at. There's a beautiful rocky outcrop at the edge of a cliff that stands almost vertical. It looks more like an abstract sculpture than a rock. It has two large holes in it. It imposes on the photo similarly to an altar or a shrine would. The Atlantic dominates the photo behind it.

A very impressive stone fort. In thr very centre two c shaped walls form a broken circle. At the margins are 3-4 tiers of circular stone walls with the tiers getting taller ss you get closer to the outside. It gives the impression of amphitheatre seating, designed to view the central circle from all angles though I suspect this was not the actual use of the fort

A cropped selection of a letter: A smart approach to the housing crisis is needed I was surprised to hear that housing minister James Browne has claimed that projections and dates are not going to end homelessness. I would argue quite fervently that the opposite is true. Proiections and deadlines are fundamental components of good project management. I invite minister Browne to research Smart goals as a project management technique. The acronym refers to goals that are specific measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. In this instance, "ending homelessness" is not a specific qoal. A more specific goal would be to "house the 15,286 homeless people in Ireland, of whom 4,603 are children".
