MOON & MARS WATCH A SUCCESS While much of Ireland experienced cloud and rain, lots of people all over the country were lucky to have a break in the clouds for our Nationwide Moon & Mars Watch! Mars rested just above the bright Moon, and it will not be as close to Earth again for another four years. Due to its proximity, people were able to see its dried up oceans and frozen carbon dioxide ice caps. With views like that, it's easy to see why people used to think that the dark patches on the surface were vast forests of trees and plant life. Read the reports here from our Branches all over Ireland about last night's Nationwide Moon & Mars Watch. 2. SHOP SALESPERSON VACANCY Looking for work in a fast-paced sales and retail environment?
