Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 24ú lá de mí an Mheithimh, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1988 bhí an ráta boilscithe an-íseal don chéad uair I 25 bhliain de bharr go raibh siad ag iarradh an caighdeán maireachtála a bheith níos fearr. I 2005 thug na hairí ar ais airgead in ainneoin ganntanas airgid a bheith ag na scoil agus an rinn sláinte. I 1998 tháinig sé amach go ndúirt Michael Smith go raibh an t-ionad cuairteoirí nua I Tipperary Crystal go hiontach agus go raibh sé forbairt iontach a raibh chun cabhrú leis na turasóirí a thabhairt isteach. I 2009 bhí Liam Ahearn an chéad duine chun iarbheart a bhean chéile a fuair bás agus mar sin de bhí sé mar chathaoirleach den comhairle contae deisceart Tiobraid Árann. Bhí a bhean chéile Theresa mar chathaoirleach den chomhairle go dtí mí Mheán Fómhair 2000. Sin Axel F le Crazy Frog – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2005 Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1989 fuair Paul McCartney a seachtú huimhir a haon sa Bhreatain lena halbam Flowers In The Dirt leis an amhrán My Brave Face ar. I 2003 díbir fear ón tSualainn de bharr go raibh sé ag stalcaireacht amhránaí ó ABBA agus ghabhadh é in aice lena teach. Bhí sé mar bhuachaill den amhránaí ó 1997 go dtí 1999 ach bhí ordú sriantach ann I 2000. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Lionel Messi san Airgintín I 1987 agus rugadh drumadóir Mick Fleetwood sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1947 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 24th of June, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1988: the lowest inflation rate for 25 years was to give a boost to living standards. 2005: Ministers returned cash despite the shortage in health and schools. 1998 - Defence Minister Michael Smith described Tipperary Crystal's splendid new visitors' centre at Birdhill as a 'very fantastic development' which would help attract further tourist numbers to the region, when he carried out the official opening.  2009 - Grange Councillor, Liam Ahearn made history at South Tipperary County Council. He became the first husband to succeed his late wife as Chairman of the authority. Cllr. Ahearn's wife Theresa had served as Cathaoirlcach of the Council and had been a sitting Fine Gael T.D. at the time of her death in September 2000.  That was Axel F with Crazy Frog – the biggest song on this day in 2005 Onto music news on this day In 1989 Paul McCartney scored his seventh UK No.1 solo album with 'Flowers In The Dirt', featuring the single 'My Brave Face'. 2003 A man who had been deported from Sweden for stalking ABBA singer Agnetha Faeltskog was arrested near the singer's island retreat. Gert van der Graaf, 37, had been the singer's boyfriend from 1997 to 1999, but had been issued a restraining order barring him from seeing or talking to her in 2000. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – soccer player Lionel Messi was born in Argentina in 1987 and dummer Mick Fleetwood was born in the UK on this day in 1947 and this is one of his songs. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

From their leader's bungee-jumping stunts, their best general election result ever, and leading the fight for social care, the Lib Dems have had a good year.But in the political narrative, their place as the ‘third party' outside the Labour-Tory duopoly has been threatened by Reform UK's ascendancy. Coupled with their perennial struggle to be a party that fights for a progressive vision of the future while representing some of the most affluent, small-C constituencies across the country, the future of the Lib Dems feels unclear.To pitch their versions of the future of the party, on this episode of It's Bloody Complicated, Lena will be joined by two progressive champions in the party, Roz Savage MP and Cllr Carl Cashman.Dr Roz Savage was elected to be an MP for South Cotswolds in the 2024 General Election. Before that, she earned a law degree at Oxford and was a management consultant for eleven years, before an environmental awakening led to her setting out on a life of adventure. She holds four Guinness World Records for ocean rowing, including first woman to row solo across three oceans: the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Indian, using her adventures to raise awareness of environmental issues.  She is also the founder of the Sisters, a global network bringing women together to create a more resilient future. Since being elected, she has been a progressive leader in parliament, fronting the fight for the Climate and Nature Bill.Carl Cashman is the Leader of the Liberal Democrats on Liverpool City Council, as well as the Councillor for Church ward since 2023. This victory, with over 50% of the vote, was the first Lib Dem gain in a Wavertree seat for over 13 years. He was previously elected as a Councillor on Knowsley Council in 2016 and also worked as a mortgage broker in this time. He is an outspoken proponent of liberalism, advocating for both his party and his beliefs throughout the media.Don't miss out on this urgent conversation with our two guestsSupport the showEnjoyed the podcast and want to be a live audience member at our next episode?
