I 1993 bhí an Central Bank ag iarradh ruaig a chuir ar an phobal de bharr gníomhaíocht airgeadais agus de bharr sin rinne siad iarratas de a idirbheart lena stiúrthóir.
I 2004 dúirt an VHI leis an rialtas go raibh siad ag iarradh dul bancbhriste in ionad táille a bheith acu ionas go mbeidís ábalta mair.
I 1997 bhí aláram ag seinm gach oíche agus bhí fear agus a chlann suas gach oíche de bharr. Tháinig sé amach sa chúirt go raibh an t-aláram ann ar feadh 63 uair a chloig.
I 2000 dúradh cá bhfuil na n-iasc? Sin an cheist a bhí ar intinn gach duine a bhí ag iascaireacht de bharr go raibh na n-iasc sna abhainn laghdaithe. Tháinig duánaí amach ag rá nach raibh mórán iasc aige an bhliain sin.
Sin Brotherhood of Man le Save Your Kisses For Me – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1976.
Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1983 chuaigh Michael Jackson chuig uimhir a haon lena amhrán Beat It agus d’fhan sé ann ar feadh trí sheachtain. Bhí sé seo a 5ú huimhir a haon I Meiriceá. Bhí sé a tríú singil ón albam Thriller agus bhí Eddie Van Halen ar an amhrán ag seinm giotár ach de bharr go raibh sé le lipéad ceoil eile ní raibh sé san fhís cheoil.
I 1990 chan Prince ag club oíche Rupert’s I Minneapolis. Bhí sé 100 dollar chun ticéad a fháil agus bhí an t-airgid go léir ag dul chuig chlann a shean garda cosanta Charles Huntsberry a fuair bás de bharr taom croí.
Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Kirsten Dunst I Meiriceá I 1982 agus rugadh aisteoir Johnny Galecki I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1975 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé.

2000 – Where are the fish gone? That was the question on many local anglers lips this as the amount of aquatic life in local rivers becomes even more and more depleted. A concerned angler sought to highlight the apparent lack ot a “bite” this year.
That was Brotherhood of Man with Save Your Kisses For Me – the biggest song on this day in 1976.
Onto music news on this day In 1983 Michael Jackson started a three week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with ‘Beat It’, his fifth solo US No.1. The third single from the singer’s Thriller album featured Eddie Van Halen on the song’s distinctive overdriven guitar solo, but Halen was prevented by his record label from appearing in the music video.
1990 Prince played a concert at Rupert’s Night-club, Minneapolis. The $100 a head ticket proceeds all went to the family of his former bodyguard Charles ‘Big Chick’ Huntsberry, who had died from a heart attack.
And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actress Kirsten Dunst was born in America in 1982 and actor Johnny Galecki was born in America on this day in 1975 and this is some of the stuff he has done.
