The Six One News tomorrow Friday 21 January will have a special feature on Haiti with commentry in the studio and from Haiti. I think their coverage has been very balanced compared to some of the dedicated news networks so it might be a good one to watch.
Google Maps have released a series of highly detailed images of Haiti before and after the earthquake. See the series here.
The Mayo News website whole front page is devoted to Gena. See it here.
I didn't post the NPFS update from the 19th or 20th as they are now being posted very quickly to the NPFS website. If you look at the update for the 21st there is an amazing account from Peter Tinnemann on the progress being made in the hospital and the trading of aid between the various agencies.
Dont forget the Garda Club on Saturday night!
