Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 10ú lá de mí Aibreán, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1981 thug an ghrúpa gallaher timpeall 10 milliún punt do shuíomh a bhí 41 acra timpeall Stephen's Green. I 2009 bhí clann timpeall an tír ábalta nach mór 500 euro gach mí a shábháil ar an teach de bharr gur thit praghsanna go mór I 75 bhliain. I 2012 bhí gnólacht ó Ros Cré ar Dragon's Den. Tháinig Graham Kenny agus a bean chéile suas le gnólacht chun fráma a chuir timpeall a chéad bhróga bábóg. Tháinig siad suas leis an smaoineamh I 2001. I 2014 tháinig an nuacht amach san Aonach Urmhumhan go raibh siad chun óstach a dhéanamh ar an Fleadh Cheoil I 2015. Is imeacht é a raibh seachtain ar fhad agus cheap na ndaoine a raibh ina chónaí sa bhaile go mbeadh níos mó ná 20,000 duine breise sa bhaile. Sin Flo Rida agus Kesha le Right Round – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2009. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1985 thosaigh Madonna a chéad cheolchoirm I Meiriceá Thuaidh – chan sí trí oíche sa Paramount Theatre I Washington. D'oscail The Beastie Boys do Madonna ar an turas seo. I 2019 chuaigh Billie Eilish chuig barr na cairteacha sa Bhreatain lena chéad albam When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? Bhí sí an cailín is óige chun shroich uimhir a haon lena chéad albam sa Bhreatain. I 2020 ag na Grammys bhuaigh sí Albam den bhliain, agus Amhrán den bhliain lena amhrán Bad Guy – agus I bhfad níos mó. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir David Harbour I Nua Eabhrac I 1975 agus rugadh amhránaí Sophie Ellis Bextor sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1979 agus seo chuid de a 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 10th of April, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1981: The gallaher group paid an estimated 10 million pounds for a 41 acre site adjoining stephens green in one of irelands biggest property deals. 2009: Families were able to save up to €500 a month on their household spending thanks to the biggest price drop in over 75 years. 2012 - A business that frames baby's first shoes based in Roscrea featured on RTE's 'Dragons' Den' Graham Kenny, a farmer all his life, set up a picture framing business, Framed Memories Forever, in 2001 with wife Cassandra, an artist and ballet teacher, as a source of off-farm income. 2014 - News broke that Nenagh was been chosen as the host town for the 2015 Munster Fleadh Cheoil. The week-long music event – the biggest of the provincial Fleadh gatherings, would attract as many as 20,000 visitors to Nenagh and its surrounds. It was the town's first time to host a Munster Fleadh. That was Flo Rida and Kesha with Right Round– the biggest song on this day in 2009. Onto music news on this day In 1985, Madonna kicked off her very first North American tour by playing the first of three nights at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle, Washington. The Beastie Boys opened for Madonna on this 40-date Virgin Tour. In 2019, Billie Eilish was at No.1 on the UK chart with her debut studio album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? It made Eilish the youngest female solo act to chart at No.1 in the UK. At the 2020 Grammy Awards, it won Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, while 'Bad Guy' from the album won Record of the Year. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor David Harbour was born in New York in 1975 and singer Sophie Ellis Bextor was born in the UK in 1979 and this is one of her songs I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.
Maura Bell, to tell us about the exciting news that accommodation for this year's Fleadh running from the 3rd to the 10th August is now open. She'll be sharing all the details on how you can book your stay and make the most of this fantastic event.
This summer, Vodafone boosted connectivity by placing temporary sites at ten major events across the country, including, Bloom, Kaleidoscope, Flavours of Fingal, All Together Now, Tullamore show, Moynalty Steam Threshing and Electric Picnic, as well as events within Malahide Castle. St Annes Park and Marlay Park, including Longitude Festival. Looking back at the traffic, the team at Vodafone saw that the network handled more than 140 terabytes (TB) of data, equivalent to about 11 years of streaming videos, and approximately 2 million voice calls, facilitating customers' need to stay connected and share their special moments. As anticipated, Electric Picnic struck a chord, amping up over 40% of the total data and dialling in over 50% of the total calls across these summer events. The recent Fleadh in Wexford, and Electric Picnic showcased an array of app usage among attendees, highlighting the evolving needs and interests of festival-goers. Not surprisingly for Ireland, weather apps were among the most popular. Approximately 40,000 Vodafone customers at the Fleadh and 50,000 at Electric Picnic checked in on the apps to stay informed about weather conditions. Map apps also played a crucial role, guiding around 50,000 Fleadh attendees and 45,000 Electric Picnic goers. Additionally, social media and communication apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok saw substantial usage, enabling festival-goers to share their experiences and memories in real-time. In addition to summer events, Ireland welcomed global superstars Taylor Swift and Coldplay to our shores. Vodafone's network team prepared for uplifts in data traffic at these major concerts. At the Taylor Swift's shows, Vodafone recorded record-breaking data consumption at the Aviva, with traffic peaking each night the moment she took to the stage. Similarly, during Coldplay's performances, the network handled a significant increase in data usage, particularly on Sunday when Aslan made their first surprise appearance. The network upgrades across these events underscore Vodafone's commitment to delivering a reliable service. By effectively managing substantial data volumes and maintaining consistent connectivity, Vodafone has facilitated a seamless experience for their customers throughout the summer at multiple events.
