Today marked the 5th annual March for Choice in Dublin City Centre.

Mothers, daughters, brothers, fathers, friends and even movie stars flooded the streets of the city as they set out in order for the Eight Amendment to be changed and for abortion to be legalised in Ireland.

And even with the downpour of rain and Dublin Bus on strike, the people of Ireland came out in their thousands.

Here, we take a look at the best reactions on social media to the day's event:

Mel Gibson is in Dublin, and it seems like he's having a great ol' time.

The actor is in the capital for the next EIGHT weeks to film The Professor and The Madman alongside Sean Penn (yep, here's also here ladies).

But it's not all work for the Hollywood star, as he took some time out on Monday night to enjoy some food in FX Buckley's on Pembroke Street.

The restaurant shared a photo with the star and captioned it, "When Mel Gibson is in Dublin he eats at FX Buckley.

"He has kidneys and a medium rare fillet."

Being human and all, around SHEmazing! Towers way we’re occasionally (read: often) fond of a bit of Jamie Dornan.

From The Fall to Fifty Shades – not to mention those Calvin Klein ads – the Co Down-man gives us all plenty to work with (bless him).

So when we heard that a Netflix feature-length flick, The Siege Of Jadotville, was being released with a certain Mr Dornan in the lead role, well we were all sorts of excited.

And suffice to say that excitement then turned to all-out exhilaration when SHEmazing! received a coveted invite to the red-carpet premiere, which took place last night on Dublin’s O’Connell St.

In attendance were the handsome likes of Jason O’Mara, Ronan Raftery, Charlie Kelly, and Conor MacNeill – but there’s no denying that Mr Christian Gray himself Jamie was the star of the evening.

Not only did we see him in the flesh up all close ‘n’ personal, but the 34-year-old even came over to SHEmazing! for something of an exclusive chat on the red-carpet. 

"I think you have to have a bit of apprehension going into every job – call it nerves, or anxiety or excitement or whatever that is," Jamie told us when asked about taking on the mighty role of Pat Quinlan, the Irish commandant who led a stand-off against French and Belgian Mercenaries in the Congo during in the early 1960s.

"But I was desperate to play him and I wanted to make sure I honoured him and his family and the people that knew him because what he achieved was massive and monumentally heroic. The fact that he got those boys out there alive I still find incredible."

The cast of The Siege Of Jadotville spent ten weeks in South Africa filming – the first two weeks of which were a hard-core boot-camp to get the guys in shape and thinking like soldiers.

"It was a very close-knit group," Mr Dornan said of dozen or-so lead actors on location. "Though I’m not sure the guys looked up to me like the soldiers looked up to Pat Quinlan. In fact, they definitely didn’t!" he laughed when we asked him if he embodies some of the same leadership qualities as Cmdt Quinlan. 

"But they’re a great bunch of boys. And historically they were boys. Our lads playing them were mostly in their mid-20s, but the average age of the A-Company was 19, so they were really kids.

"Quinlan was 42 at the time so I’m playing him a little young, but he would have felt this massive sense of responsibility and the fact that he got them all out alive is just phenomenal."

Also in attendance were several veteran members of the Irish UN troops who fought during the 1961 siege – something which Jamie evidently found a great honour. 

Admitting that he was hoping to head out in Dublin with them once the premiere had wrapped up, he added: "I’m looking forward to getting this over and having a pint!"

Everyone knows that doughnuts are pretty much the food porn masters of 2016, so naturally we were over the moon to hear that Krispy Kreme is finally coming to Dublin.

Already widely available across the US and UK, Irish fans of the renowned doughnut franchise were left devastated last year when a fake page announced that Krispy Kreme was coming to the capital, only for the brand itself to later announce that it had no plan to open an Irish store.

But it now looks like KK has had a change of heart as the Irish Times has reported that the American doughnut chain is planning to please Irish bellies in the near future and is already considering Liffey Valley and Blanchardstown shopping centres as potential destinations.

While it is still unclear as to when Krispy Kreme will actually arrive, any step towards getting those delectible doughnuts here is more than welcome.

Struggling to find a gaf in Dublin?  Oh, we hear ya.

Between the Internet, an improving minimum wage and decent public transport links you would think that finding a place to live in the country’s capital shouldn’t be overly taxing.

But if this latest gem on Daft.ie is anything to go by, that assumption is nothing short of being completely and utterly bonkers.

 

According to this Daft ad, a nicely furnished double ensuite room in the popular village of Ranelagh will cost you a cool €1,250 a month BEFORE you pay any of your bills.

Granted the room is located only four minutes from the closest Luas stop and is part of a recently restored Georgian house which “boasts all mod cons”, but is that really enough to justify paying €15,000 per year to share a decent house with two other people?

 

Sadly this situation is quickly becoming the new normal as late last month a Daft report revealed that rents nationwide have now surpassed what they were during the Celtic Tiger era.

The report suggested that renting in the capital will now cost you 5.2 percent more than it would have in early 2008 and since landlords are taking full advantage of this situation, is it any wonder you could end up paying well over a grand a month for a house share?

So if you find yourself going completely daft as you search through, well, Daft, just know that you are by no means alone.
