Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 6ú lá de mí an Mheithimh, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1975 tháinig an nuacht amach go mbeadh an phacáiste comhrialtas chun dífhostaíocht a laghdú agus go mbeadh boilsciú ann, agus bhí plé cráite ann I rith an deireadh seachtain. I 1986 bhí coimhlint idir stailceoirí agus gardaí agus mar sin de tháinig an airm isteach chun é a stopadh I mBaile Átha Cliath. I 1998 bhí plean ann leis an chostas de 2 milliún punt chun athchóiriú a dhéanamh ar Tipperary Crystal agus d'oscail sé ar an lá seo agus bhí ionad cuairteoirí nua ann I gCarraig na Siúire. Bhí ionad siopadóireachta níos fearr ann agus níos mó áiseanna chun ithe. Bhí an taobh amuigh déanta suas chomh maith. I 2006 tháinig sé amach go raibh An Cherry Tree I mBéal An Átha an tríú bialann is fearr sa tír sa Jacob's Creek Reserve Restaurant Awards agus bhí sé an bhialann is fearr I gCúige Mumhan. Bhí nach mór 100 bialann ainmnithe timpeall an tír agus shroich An Cherry Tree uimhir a trí. Sin Doctor & The Medics le Spirit In The Sky – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1986 Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1974 tháinig Dolly Parton agus RCA Records amach le hamhrán darbh ainm I Will Always Love You – bhí sé a dara hamhrán ón albam Jolene. Rinne sí taifead ar an amhrán bliain roimhe agus scríobh sí an t-amhrán do Porter Wagoner. I 1987 shroich Whitney Houston uimhir a haon lena amhrán I Wanna Dance With Somebody – a dara hamhrán a shroich uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain. Shroich sí uimhir a haon I dtír eile agus bhuaigh sí Grammy don amhrán I 1988. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Paul Giamatti I Meiriceá I 1967 agus rugadh aisteoir Jason Isaacs sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1963 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. 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 6th of June, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1975: the coalition opackage to cut unemployment and inflation was due to be ready by thr weekend following agonising deliberations. 1986: a violent confrontation between corporation strikers and gardai ended in an army squad being forced to abandon a clean up operation in central dublin.  2006 -The Cherry Tree in Ballina was voted the third best restaurant in Ireland in the Jacob's Creek Reserve Restaurant Awards – and the best in Munster. Up to one hundred establishments throughout the country were nominated for the award and the Cherry Tree made it to the top three.  1998 -A £2m restructuring plan at Tipperary Crystal was on show as it officially opened it's new look Visitor Centre at Carrick-on-Suir, The enlarged centre provides for a more comfortable shopping environment which also includes extended restaurant facilities. The exterior of the building has also benefitted from the development work which has been in progress for some months.  That was Doctor and The Medics with Spirit In The Sky – the biggest song on this day in 1986 Onto music news on this day In 1974 RCA Records released 'I Will Always Love You' by Dolly Parton, the second single from Parton's thirteenth solo studio album, Jolene. Recorded on June 13, 1973, the singer wrote the song for her one-time partner and mentor Porter Wagoner, from whom she was professionally splitting at the time. 1987 Whitney Houston had her second UK No.1 single with 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)'. It reached No.1 in over a dozen other countries and won a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1988. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Paul Giamatti was born in America in 1967 and actor Jason Isaacs was born in the UK on this day in 1963 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you next week with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

We take to the road for this week's Young Stock Podcast as Sarah McIntosh attends the Teagasc/FBD student of the year award ceremony. The awards, sponsored by FBD, were presented to the top graduates of Teagasc Level 6 agriculture, horticulture, equine and forestry training programmes in 2024. With 4,000 students across the Teagasc college campuses, it was a great opportunity to meet the top of the crop students, who took home prizes on the day. Each finalist was nominated by their teacher and Teagasc college faculty and selected from a judging panel. On the day Kate Curran, who is no stranger to the Young Stock Podcast, was awarded the overall title of Teagasc/FBD student of the year for 2024. We get the first interview with Kate as the shock of winning the award sets in and she outlines what it means to her. We also hear from Danny Doyle, who took home the title last year as he fills us in on what he has been up to over the last year while giving advice to this year's winner.

Tipperary native Niamh Duggan, Carrick-on-Suir, took home the award for the full-time other land-based enterprises category.

We reportedly have a problem persuading young people to go into trades or starting apprenticeships. So it's welcome when a modern company agrees to take on hundreds of new apprentices every year.Suir Engineering needless to say based in Waterford is doing exactly that.

We've got the first of our season review episodes this week and we're focusing on river brown trout with River Nore guide, Dan O'Neill, who gives us the lowdown on his local river as well as those nearby including the Kings and the Suir.   Dan will be telling us about conditions throughout the year, hatches and of course some of the fish highlights as well…. Thanks also to everyone who entered the competition for tickets to the Irish Fly Fair, the answer was Fermanagh as to what county the event is being held in and the winner was Mark Dunne. Stay tuned over the next few weeks when we will have our salmon and loughs trout season review episodes as well. Keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly on https://www.IrelandontheFly.com and get regular updates on https://Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly.

So, that's pretty much it for the season for brown trout, sea trout and salmon fly anglers.  Currane, Sheelin and a few other lakes are still open until October 12th but for the vast majority of you the rods are being put away for the winter. Over the coming weeks we'll be reviewing how the season went on the rivers and loughs around Ireland for salmon and brown trout so stay tuned for those episodes… But this week we catch up with a salmon angler who moved over from England just three years ago and discovered salmon fishing that he is in thrall to.  You might have seen some of George Kavanagh's incredible images from the Suir on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/george.kavanagh.58) and it was no surprise to learn that George is a commercial photographer who has worked all around the world on shoots. Salmon fishing is his other passion though and the recent move to Ireland opened his eyes to the salmon fishing that was on his doorstep.  Sometimes it takes someone to come in from elsewhere to maybe make us appreciate what we actually have here…… Keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly on https://www.IrelandontheFly.com and get regular updates on https://Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly.

If you walk along the river Suir of an evening you'll regularly see anglers staggered along the bed passing their time fishing.

In this episoed, I chat with Dorje de Burgh about his exhibition 'Under the Same Sky', currently on show at STAC.. Following the artist's move to Carrick-on-Suir in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic due to his high-risk status, Under the Same Sky is a photographic documentation of the town and its surrounds. Representing an outsiders view, this work reflects the particular atmosphere of unease and alienation of that time, as well as being an observation on community, home and belonging. Dorje also strives to subvert familiar representations of the Irish landscape, and in doing so reflect the tensions inherent in both the urban-rural space and the artist's own conflicting positions around closeness and distance.Dorje de Burgh lives and works between Killarney, Dublin & Berlin. Following nomination as a member of the FUTURES European mentorship program, Dorje received the Arts Council of Ireland Next Generation award 2020 and The Darkroom moving image residency 2020/21, producing his second solo exhibition How To Kill Something That Doesn't Exist in association with PhotoIreland Festival 2021.Dorje de Burgh WebsiteFind Dorje on Instagram @dum_studioGet in touch with the podcast: southtippartspodcast@gmail.comLearn more by visiting our website: www.southtippartscentre.ie

Mic léinn ag fosadh in óstáin de cheal cóiríochta cuí. Third level students in Limerick are staying in hotels as they cannot find appropriate accommodation in the city. Tá mic léinn tríú leibhéal i Luimneach ag fanacht in óstáin mar nach féidir leo cóiríocht chuí a fháil sa chathair. Under an agreement between Mary Immaculate College and hosts in Limerick, students are paying up to € 390 per week for five nights accommodation in one of three hotels in the city. De réir socraithe atá déanta idir Choláiste Mhuire gan Smál agus lucht óstaíochta i Luimneach, tá na scoláirí ag íoc suas le €390 gach seachtain ar lóistín cúig oíche i gceann de thrí óstán sa chathair. They arrive at the hotels on Sunday night and leave on Friday morning. Tagann siad chuig na hóstáin san oíche Dé Domhnaigh agus imíonn siad astu ar maidin Dé hAoine. The teacher training college has made a similar arrangement with a hotel in Thurles, Co Tipperary, where they have a smaller campus to the east of the Suir. Tá socrú den sórt céanna déanta ag an gcoláiste oiliúna múinteoirí le hóstán i nDurlas, Co Thiobraid Árann, mar a bhfuil campas níos lú acu ar an taobh thoir den tSiúir. College accommodation manager John Randles said this is not the best solution but there is no other option. Dúirt bainisteoir lóistín an choláiste John Randles nach é seo an réiteach is fearr ach nach bhfuil aon rogha eile ann. He pointed out that appropriate student accommodation in Limerick is scarcer this year than ever before. Thug sé le fios go bhfuil cóiríocht chuí do mhic léinn i Luimneach níos gainne i mbliana ná riamh. There are two reasons for this, he thinks. Tá dhá chúis leis seo, dar leis. Because students had been studying from home for a year and a half, he said, landlords had to rent long-term residences to others. Mar gheall go raibh mic léinn ag staidéar ón mbaile le bliain go leith, a dúirt sé, b'éigean do thiarnaí talún árais chónaithe a ligean ar cíos fadtréimhseach do dhaoine eile. Also, John Randles said, people are not providing students with rooms in their homes as they used to because of concerns about the spread of Covid-19. Chomh maith leis sin, a dúirt John Randles, níl daoine ag cur seomraí ina dtithe féin ar fáil do scoláirí mar a bhíodh de bharr imní faoi leathadh covid 19. Róisín Burke from the Students' Union in Mary Immaculate College said that while people are grateful for the accommodation provided by the hotels, more specialist accommodation needs to be built for third level students. Dúirt Róisín Burke ó Aontas na Mac Léinn i gColáiste Mhuire gan Smál cé go bhfuil daoine buíoch as an lóistín atá na hóstáin a chur ar fáil dóibh go gcaithfear tuilleadh saináras cónaithe a thógáil le haghaidh scoláirí tríú leibhéal.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin said shoes are an essential item in terms of the growth and development of children. He said Government is finalising guidance that would be outlined in regulations.

For the first time in living memory, a very popular winter pursuit in county Tipperary cannot go ahead, like so many things because of Covid-19 restrictions. Many people who have a passion for hunting are baffled by the decision. They say they can hunt alone, or in small groups adhereing to the latest restrictions imposed, and say they 5km restriction still gives ample distance to follow their pursuit. One person is a man who has been looking forward to November 1st for more than four decades, Tom Dignam from Carrick-on-Suir, member and former committee member of Ballyneale Gun Club.

Why do the English claim Irish people when they become a successful actor or sports star? Is it ignorance, an inferiority complex or do they think the Republic of Ireland is still part of Britain? Team GB retired cyclist Bradley Wiggins said on Eurosport that Sam Bennett could almost be considered British, after the Carrick-on-Suir cyclist became just the sixth ever Irishman to win a Tour de France stage on Tuesday. Sitting in the studio  Bennett's fellow Irishman Sean Kelly on Eurosport Wiggans went on to say: "At least we understand what he's saying, we can't really understand what you're saying, Sean, can we?"

After completing his collection of Grand Tour stage wins yesterday, Sam Bennett is back on the road today. The eleventh stage of the Tour de France takes the peloton on a 167 kilometre trek to Poitiers .
