Phones, tablets, even watch screens are everywhere you turn. According to Common Sense Media, teens spend an average of seven hours and 22 minutes on screens every day! And that doesn’t include computer time for schoolwork.
Some studies show that too much screen time can affect your body. Adolescence is a critical time for brain development so teens may be especially at risk. While watching videos or texting with friends is fun, it’s crucial to limit screen time.
It is interesting to note that the mural is close to the entrance to St Kevin’s Cemetery. At the start of the 19th century this cemetery, like many others in Dublin, became a target of the body-snatchers, although it was surrounded by high walls (changed to railings in the 1960s). In February 1830 a Frenchman named Nagles and his friend were attacked by a group of “sack-em-ups” lying in wait near the cemetery. The criminals’ attention was diverted by the arrival of a cart-load of dead bodies, giving Nagles the opportunity to escape and notify the police at Arran Quay, who apprehended the culprits. On one occasion a body-snatcher was chased as far as Thomas Street, where he finally dropped his booty—the body of a young girl.

I visit a restaurant on Capel Street on a regular basis and the owner complained to me that there was “no Christmas” this year and after leaving the restaurant I decided to get my Sony FX30 and visit the Grangegorman University Campus and there was nothing there to indicate that it was Christmas and there were very few people to be seen there (I think I saw no more than ten people).
As a matter of interest there are two large canteens on campus. One is located in the heart of the campus at Rathdown House, while the other is located in the Lower House. There is also be a selection of coffee shops in several buildings. A real treat is the bakehouse and restaurant run by culinary arts students in the Central Quad. I mentioned the canteens as I noticed that Kennedys have a new building that was not there the last time I visited.
