Roise and Frank - ONE NIGHT ONLY - 6pm
Comedy-Drama, Ireland, 2022, 90 mins, PG, Gaelic (English subtitles)
It is two years since Roise lost the love of her life, her husband, Frank. She's still isolated in grief, which cuts her off from the local community.
So the arrival of a mysterious dog, who's intent on living with Roise, is puzzling. It's only after studying him that Roise realises the dog is her beloved Frank, reincarnated.
Freshly inspired, Roise goes about creating a new life for the two of them as her son worries that she's lost her mind.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.5% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.6% No, I enjoy it

1.9% Other - I'll share below
