Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 3ú lá de mí Aibreán, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1965 tháinig an nuacht amach go raibh 1,000 oifigeach den stát nach raibh ag obair a thuilleadh – bhí siad mar ionadaí de státseirbhíseach, múinteoirí gardaí agus an airm, chuala siad gearán den Aire Airgeadas dá dhearcadh chuig a pinsean. I 1998 bhí an National Irish Bank I dtrioblóid mar tháinig an nuacht amach go raibh siad ag tógáil níos mó airgead as a chustaiméirí. I 1998 bhí Tiobraid Árann ag imir I gcoinne Cill Chainnigh ag Staid Semple ach tháinig an nuacht amach nach mbeadh John Leahy ag imirt de bharr gur gortaíodh é. I 2014 faoi dheireadh bhuaigh an club rugbaí ormand san Aonach Urmhumhan. Tar éis 9 mbliain bhuaigh siad an Roinn 2A. Sin Run DMC le It's Like That – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1998. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1979 thosaigh Kate Bush a turas ceoil darbh ainm Tour Of Life sa Learpholl. Bhí na daoine a raibh ticéad acu an ádhúil mar dúradh go mbeadh sé 25 bhliain roimh a mbeadh Kate Bush ag déanamh turas ceoil eile. I 2011 chuaigh Adele chuig uimhir a haon sna cairteacha lena albam 21 agus d'fhan sí ann ar feadh 10 seachtain. Bhí amhráin ar an albam cosúil le Rolling In The Deep agus Set Fire To The Rain. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh amhránaí Leona Lewis sa Bhreatain I 1985 agus rugadh aisteoir Eddie Murphy I Nua Eabhrac ar an lá seo I 1961 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. 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 3rd of April, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh In 1965 nearly 1,000 retired state officers who were representing civil servants, teachers, gardai and the army, heard severe critcism of the minister for finance for his attitude towards their pension claims In 1998 The northern ireland wing of beleagured national irish bank was at the centre of fresh allegations of overcharging its customers In 1998 - TIPPERARY faced into a crucial National Hurling League clash against Kilkenny at Semple Stadium, but they would be without John Leahy who has been ruled out through injury. In 2014 – Finally, it was to be for Nenagh Ormond Rugby Club. After Nine years the wait for Nenagh Ormond to win promotion to Division 2A of the Ulster Bank League was over at last. That was Run DMC with It's Like That – the biggest song on this day in 1998. Onto music news on this day in 1979, singer-songwriter Kate Bush, then 20, kicked off her 28-date Tour Of Life at Liverpool's Empire Theatre. Ticket holders were particularly lucky, given that it would be another 25 years before Bush committed herself to another extended run of concerts. 2011, British singer-songwriter Adele broke a UK chart record when her second album, 21, spent ten consecutive weeks at No.1. Featuring the hits “Rolling in the Deep” and “Set Fire to the Rain.” And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – Leona Lewis was born in England in 1985 and actor Eddie Murphy was born in New York City on this day in 1961 – and these are some of the things he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.
