Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 13ú lá de mí Lúnasa, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1976 tháinig sé amach go raibh na praghsanna ag ardú dhá oiread is tapúla I gcomparáid leis an Bhreatain. I 1993 tháinig an Roinn Oideachais amach ag rá go raibh an rabhadh I gcoinne scrúdaithe chun dul isteach chuig scoil ag bogadh chuig scoileanna a raibh daoine ag íoc chun freastail ar. I 2002 tharla timpiste san Aonach Urmhumhan nuair a thit 10 míle volta ESB chuig an talamh. Bhí sé suite taobh amuigh de shiopa Gough, O'Keefe agus Naughton agus bhí péintéir ag maisiú an siopa ag an am. I 2003 bhí caingean dlí a bheith I ndán idir Comhairle Baile an tAonach Urmhumhan agus Comhairle Chontae Thiobraid Árann de bharr comhrá a bhí idir comhairleoir agus bainisteoir an chontae. Bhí na comhairleoir ag bagrach go raibh siad chun caingean dlí a bheith ann de bharr an cíos don Comhairle Baile ó shuíomh stadach. Sin Anastacia le I'm Outta Love – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2000. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1992 chan Neil Diamond a chéad oíche ó 6 I Madison Square Garden I Nua Eabhrac. I 2007 tharraing Amy Winehouse amach as dhá cheolchoirm de The Rolling Stones sa Ghearmáin de bharr cloíteacht. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Alfred Hitchcock sa Bhreatain I 1899 agus rugadh aisteoir Sebastian Stan sa Rómáin ar an lá seo I 1982 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.

The hoist was located outside Gough, O'Keefe and Naughton's drapery shop and was being used by painters who were decorating the facade of the building at the time.   2003 - Legal action was looming between Nenagh Town Council and North Tipperary County Council following heated exchanges between councillors and the county manager. Councillors were threatening to take legal action over rent due to the Town Council from a halting site constructed by the County Council on a site at Dublin Road. Nenagh.  That was Anastacia with I'm Outta Love – the biggest song on this day in 2000 Onto music news on this day In 1992 Neil Diamond played the first of six sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden in New York. 2007 Amy Winehouse pulled out of two Rolling Stones gigs in Hamburg Germany citing exhaustion And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – Alfred Hitchcock was born in the UK in 1899 and actor Sebastian Stan was born in Romania on this day in 1982 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

This tragedy compelled her brother, Jason Poole, to stand up, not only for Jennifer, but also for every woman in Ireland who lives in fear behind closed doors.
