Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 2ú lá de mí Bealtaine, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh.
I 1975 d’éalaigh príosúnaigh as a phríosún ach ní raibh aon ádh acu ag Punchestown.
I 1997 tháinig an nuacht amach go mbeadh méadú de 1% sna rátaí morgáiste de bharr go raibh méadú sna rátaí sna bainc.
I 1988 bhí Stockton’s Wing ag canadh ag an Chaisleán Friary agus Dolores Keane ag Kennedy’s, roinnt de na amhránaí ag canadh timpeall an chontae.
I 1996 chaith Anne O’Hara bláthfhleasc don chéad uair – tháinig sí abhaile le curadh domhanda ag an World Floral Show sa Nua-Shéalainn.
Sin George Michael le A Different Corner – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1986.
Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1981 chuaigh Sheena Easton chuig uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena amhrán Morning Train (9 to 5). Bhí sí ann ar feadh dhá sheachtain agus d’athraigh sí an teideal den amhrán de bharr gur tháinig Dolly Parton amach leis a amhrán 9 to 5 sa bhliain chéanna.
I 2006 tháinig Keith Richards ó The Rolling Stones amach as a ospidéal sa Nua-Shéalainn de bharr go bhfuair sé comhtholgadh beag nuair a thit sé amach as crann nuair a bhí sé I Fiji. Chuaigh sé chuig an ospidéal I héileacaptar agus fuair sé scanadh ar a inchinn.
Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Dwayne Johnson I Meiriceá I 1972 agus rugadh amhránaí Lily Allen sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1985 agus seo chuid de a amhrán.
Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.

That was George Michael with A Different Corner – the biggest song on this day in 1986.
Onto music news on this day In 1981 Scottish singer Sheena Easton started a two week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with ‘Morning Train (9 to 5)’. The title of the song was changed to avoid any confusion with the Dolly Parton hit ‘9 to 5’, in the same year.
2006 Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards was released from hospital in New Zealand after the 62 year-old suffered “mild concussion” when he fell out of a coconut tree while on holiday in Fiji. He was airlifted to Auckland’s Ascot Hospital for observation, where he underwent a brain scan.
And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson was born in America in 1972 and singer Lily Allen was born in th UK on this day in 1983 and this is one of her songs.
