Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 1ú lá de mí Lúnasa, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1991 bhuaigh duine 22 míle punt as geall amháin ag na Rásaí I nGaillimh nuair a chuir siad gheall ar Firions Law, a bhí an capall is fearr chun an rás a buachaint. I 2003 tháinig nuacht amach go mbeadh monarcha a chosain 50 milliún punt chun oscail I gContae Lú agus go mbeadh 500 post nua ann. I 1991 tháinig sé amach go raibh an daonra sa chontae tar éis dul síos don chéad uair I 25 bhliain. I 2003 dhiúltaigh An Bord Pleanála plean d'ionad siopadóireacht nua in Inis Díomáin leis an chostas de 3 milliún euro. Sin Chris De Burgh le The Lady In Red – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1986. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1970 tháinig an scannán Performace le Mick Jagger ann amach I Londain agus bhí sé seo a chéad ról aisteoireacht. I 1998 tháinig The Spice Girls amach lena amhrán Viva Forever agus fuair siad a seachtú huimhir a haon sa Bhreatain leis. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Jason Momoa I Meiriceá I 1979 agus rugadh amhránaí Coolio I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1963 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 1st of August, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1991: Someone one £22,100 off one bet at the Galway Races after betting on Firions Law who was far from the favourite to win the race. 2003: A £50m poultry factory was announced to open in Co. Louth and was projected to create 500 jobs. 1991: It was reported that for the first time in 25 years that Clare had seen a decline in Population 2003: Plans for a €3 million shoping centre in Ennistymon was denied by An Bord Pleanala. That was Chris De Burgh with The Lady In Red – the biggest song on this day in 1986 Onto music news on this day In 1970 The film Performance featuring Mick Jagger in his acting debut, had its UK premiere in London. 1998 The Spice Girls scored their seventh UK No.1 single with 'Viva Forever'.

It's Galway Races week, so on this week's episode Sinéad and Gavin dive into the Irish State funding of horse racing. They present the figures which show horse racing earns multiples more of taxpayer's money than any other sport, ask if this is fair, and explain how this is justified by our politicians: that horse racing is not a sport, but an industry. They then interrogate that claim, and find that they are far from alone in being sceptical of it.Get in touch - sinead@thejournal.ie and gavincooney@the42.ie Hosted on Acast.
