Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 6ú lá de mí an Mheithimh, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh.
I 1975 tháinig an nuacht amach go mbeadh an phacáiste comhrialtas chun dífhostaíocht a laghdú agus go mbeadh boilsciú ann, agus bhí plé cráite ann I rith an deireadh seachtain.
I 1986 bhí coimhlint idir stailceoirí agus gardaí agus mar sin de tháinig an airm isteach chun é a stopadh I mBaile Átha Cliath.
I 1998 bhí plean ann leis an chostas de 2 milliún punt chun athchóiriú a dhéanamh ar Tipperary Crystal agus d’oscail sé ar an lá seo agus bhí ionad cuairteoirí nua ann I gCarraig na Siúire. Bhí ionad siopadóireachta níos fearr ann agus níos mó áiseanna chun ithe. Bhí an taobh amuigh déanta suas chomh maith.
I 2006 tháinig sé amach go raibh An Cherry Tree I mBéal An Átha an tríú bialann is fearr sa tír sa Jacob’s Creek Reserve Restaurant Awards agus bhí sé an bhialann is fearr I gCúige Mumhan. Bhí nach mór 100 bialann ainmnithe timpeall an tír agus shroich An Cherry Tree uimhir a trí.
Sin Doctor & The Medics le Spirit In The Sky – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1986
Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1974 tháinig Dolly Parton agus RCA Records amach le hamhrán darbh ainm I Will Always Love You – bhí sé a dara hamhrán ón albam Jolene. Rinne sí taifead ar an amhrán bliain roimhe agus scríobh sí an t-amhrán do Porter Wagoner.
I 1987 shroich Whitney Houston uimhir a haon lena amhrán I Wanna Dance With Somebody – a dara hamhrán a shroich uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain. Shroich sí uimhir a haon I dtír eile agus bhuaigh sí Grammy don amhrán I 1988.
Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Paul Giamatti I Meiriceá I 1967 agus rugadh aisteoir Jason Isaacs sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1963 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé.
Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.
