THE most exhausted looking man at the official opening of the major International Print show in Temple Bar on Wednesday night was not some artist who had been up all night drying his etchings. Rather it was Aengus Hanly, the talented chef from Tosca in Suffolk Street.

He's been triple jobbing it lately. Apart from helping to organise the restaurant's forthcoming print show it always has interesting art work by some young artist on its walls and doing his day (and night job) as chief chef, he's also been ferrying lunches and dinners down to U2's stylish new dockside studio on Hanover Quay, where the band is beavering away on a new album which explains the rarity of the sightings of Bono and Co around town over the past few weeks.
