"I'm always on the road. It's impossible to keep a steady relationship.

“Hopefully, eventually I’ll be able to settle down, maybe with a couple of little Nathans running around.”

“ I’m still looking. It hasn’t come along yet.”

"We want to publicly state – plainly, and only this time – that we are splitting up.

"Situations like these can feel defeating. We will continue to encourage and support each other personally and professionally.

Thousands of people are taking part in a demonstration in Belfast city centre to urge the government to rectify this.

The healthy foodie concept hails from multiple cultures, including Hawaii and Japan. 

The bowls blend the flavours of fish, vegetables, rice and avocado, so it's kind of like a sushi salad. 

 You can't scroll through Instagram without spotting a mouthwatering bowl, and thankfully there are more than a few Dublin eateries making the delectable dish.

It's also pretty simple to make at home,a nd is the ideal was to use up the last of the vegetables in the fridge. 

Here are a few of the most amazing looking poké bowls giving us major meal inspiration for the weekend:

The All Ireland Rally For Life, an anti-abortion demonstration, is happening in Dublin today, kicking off at 2pm. 

Rally for Choice Ireland has called for a counter demo to take place in the city centre during the pro-life demonstration. 

According to the All Ireland Rally for Life: 'Powerful pro-abortion campaigners in Ireland, the UK, European Union and United Nations are attacking our pro-life laws.'

That’s why it’s so important we show our opposition to abortion and to stay strong for life.'

According to the Facebook event, 600 people are due to be in attendance. 

The Rally for Choice Ireland group has taken to their Facebook page to give a reminder to those participating in the counter march today. 

'It's important we have a really loud and energetic presence here today.'

'For those who haven't been to the counter demo before, it takes a lot out of you.'

'They bombard us with their lies and their desire to control women and pregnant people masked up as faux concern for us becomes all the more transparent increasing our levels of frustration and anger.'

'So today let's look out for each other. They're dwindling in numbers and they know they are, we have no idea what they're capable of so we really need to watch out for each other.'

'We need to stand as one and let everyone know we've had enough of them and their lies.'

According to the counter demonstration's Facebook page, 608 people will be in attendance, with over 1,100 interested in attending.

We all remember the iconic moment when Kylie Jenner made an epic attempt to sound philosophical and insightful in a video about her new year's resolutions. 

When discussing her hopes for 2016, the teen said – 'I feel like this year is really about like, the year of just realising stuff, and everyone around me we're all just like realising things.'

The internet went wild for Kylie's commentary, and proceeded to take the absolute p*** out of her for it. 

However, one year on, Kylie trolled herself epically and showed that she has a serious sense of humour with a pretty amazing piece of clothing in her Kylie Shop. 

The teen posted a picture of a white T-shirt with the iconic phrase printed on the front, and it quickly became a cool way to wear your ironic love for Kylie.  

 Missy Empire top €15.92

The top sold out instantly and hasn't been restocked, much to the despair of fans of the slogan. 

Luckily, we have discovered a dupe of the T-shirt, with bloggers and Instagrammers alike rocking the affordable version of the Kylie top. 

Trend-driven, affordable fashion website Missy Empire has created their own top, and we're snapping one up. 

 The best part is that the T-shirt is only €15.92, so it won't cost much to get that Kardashian-Jenner look.

Paired with jeans and a colour-pop duster jacker for day or with a leather skirt and barely there heels for night (a la Kylie), this top is the ideal ironic piece for major summer style credentials. 

See you in the online queue.

A further two suicidal women were turned down for access to legal terminations last year. 

This way despite the fact that they met the criteria to access an abortion in Ireland. 

A Department of Health report released this week said that 25 women were granted legal terminations in Ireland last year, according to The Times.

Of these 25, one was suicidal. 

This follows on from last month's revelations, when it became public knowledge that another two women were denied access despite being suicidal and attempting to commit suicide multiple times. 

'Both of these women were basically told that they weren't suicidal enough,' Mara Clarke, the founder of the Abortion Support Network charity, said at the time.

According to the Protection of Life during Pregnancy Act 2013, a termination can be carried out when 'there is a real and substantial risk of loss of the woman’s life by way of suicide.'
