Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 7ú lá de mí Bealtaine, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1976 bhí ocht bhfear SAS ar héileacaptar go rúndacht ag dul ar ais chuig an Tuaisceart de bharr gur bhannaigh siad iad. I 2004 fuair daoine amach go raibh daoine a raibh ag obair ag AIB ag fáil níos mó airgead óna chustaiméirí nuair a bhí siad ag fáil airgead ó thír eile. I 2010 bhí sé ceadaithe do Yeagher LTD chun ionad siopadóireacht a thógáil in aice leis an Hibernian Meat Plant I nDurlas. Thug an Bord Pleanála cead don áit le siopaí, oifigí agus bialann éagsúla. I 2012 bhí daoine a raibh ina chónaí sa chontae an-ámharach de bharr gur bhuaigh siad níos mó ná 1.8 milliún euro le Prize Bonds. De réir an chomhlacht bhuaigh daoine sa chontae nach mór 2 milliún euro le duine amháin a bhuaigh 1 milliún euro. Sin ABBA le Fernando – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1976. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2000 chuaigh Britney Spears chuig uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain lena amhrán Oops I Did It Again. Scríobh Max Martin agus Rami Yacoub an t-amhrán, na scríbhneoirí céanna a scríobh a amhrán Baby One More Time. I 2003 chuir máinlia dlí ar 50 Cent de bharr nár íoc sé bille leighis. Dúirt an dochtúir gur tháinig 50 Cent agus a cairde chuig an t-ospideál le créacht urchar I 2000 agus dúirt sé nár íoc sé a bille a raibh 20 míle dollar cé gur chuir sé cheist air cúpla uair. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Mr Beast I Meiriceá I 1998 agus rugadh Tommy Fury sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1999 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 7th of May, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1976: 8 sas men were airlifted secretly back to the north by helicopter late last night after being charged and bailed in the special criminal court. 2004: staff at a unit within AIB, the largest bank in the state discovered two years prior that the bank was over charging its customers for foreign exchange transactions. 2010 - YEAGHER Ltd has been given the all-clear to build a major shopping and office center on the site of the old Hibernian Meats plant in Thurles. An Bord Pleanala gave the green light for a mixed-use neighborhood centre made up of shops, office units, a restaurant, a wellness center  2012 - Tipperary residents are some of the luckiest people in the country, having won over €1.8 million with Prize Bonds. According to the Prize Bond Company's 2011 annual report, Tipperary's total winnings of €1.8 million with one Tipperary resident winning the €1 million prize.  That was ABBA with Fernando – the biggest song on this day in 1976. Onto music news on this day In 2000 Britney Spears went to No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'Oops!... I Did It Again'. Written and produced by hit-makers Max Martin and Rami Yacoub, who had previously collaborated with Spears on '...Baby One More Time'. 2003 A US surgeon sued 50 Cent over an unpaid medical bill. The doctor claimed 50 Cent and his friend turned up at a hospital with multiple gunshot wounds in 2000, but said the rapper never paid the $20,000 he owed for treatment despite being asked several times. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – YouTuber Mr Beast was born in America in 1998 and social media star Tommy Fury was born in the UK on this day in 1999 and this is some of his stuff. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 1ú lá de mí Bealtaine, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1992 bhí sé sean aire chun a carr ón stát a cailliúint ag deireadh an mhí de bharr go raibh na ngardaí ag féachaint orthu. I 2009 dúradh go raibh na céadta daoine chun a bheith tástáilte de bharr go raibh siad ar eitilt leis an chéad duine a raibh fliú na muc acu. I 1998 fuair an t-ospidéal sa chontae réidh le 44 leabaí agus chaill 17 duine a post de bharr gur ghearr siad siar ar a lán rudaí. I 2011 chuaigh cúpla mná chuig áit eile I gcóir cúis mhaith. Bhí Tammy Ryan, agus Trish agus Brenda O'Meara páirteach de ghrúpa de 35 a chuaigh chuig an Grand Canyon I gcóir an Barnardos Grand Canyon Trek. Sin Tinchy Stryder agus N-Dubz le Number 1 – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2009. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1980 bhí cosc ar an amhrán Another Brick In The Wall ó Pink Floyd san Afraic Theas de bharr gur d'uchtaigh na páistí gorma an t-amhrán mar aintiún agóid. I 2005 chuaigh Bruce Springsteen chuig uimhir a haon sna cairteacha sa Bhreatain lena albam Devils and Dust. Bhí sé seo a 6ú huimhir a haon sa Bhreatain. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh amhránaí Tim McGraw I Meiriceá I 1967 agus rugadh aisteoir Jamie Dornan san Éireann ar an lá seo I 1982 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé.

ePower is to supply over 20 shopping centres across 14 counties nationwide with high speed EV charging points, following a partnership agreement with Lanthorn, which manages a portfolio of over €1.6bn of property throughout Ireland. Rollout will begin in 2025, and the sites where chargers will be installed include Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway, as well as busy urban areas like Navan, Dundalk, Mullingar, Athlone, Maynooth, Portlaoise and Kilkenny. ?ePower is working closely with Lanthorn in association with their project managers, KSNPM. ePower has been selected following a competitive process, which took into account the company's ability to offer high speed charging facilities, tailored specifically to each site, and crucially, the assurance that the sites would be maintained and serviced by ePower's 24/7 help desk, field engineering and remote management. Commenting on the development, John O'Keeffe, CEO of Power, said: "We're very proud to be part of the drive towards making electric vehicles a better choice for consumers. The rollout and delivery of chargers, be it through public or private partnerships, is key to this. Through this partnership with Lanthorn, ePower plans to have super-fast chargers installed at shopping centres around Ireland, from Donegal to Cork and many places in between; it's a great expansion for us in what's been a hugely successful year of growth." It's been a busy year for ePower; the company recently joined forces with Dublin's local authorities to bring online up to 200 fast chargers across the region in 2025. The initial phase of the project will see ePower's high-speed chargers installed at more than 40 Dublin locations across the four Dublin local authorities. The company also won six of 17 government contracts for the rollout of new high-speed electric car charging hubs across Ireland, due to be operational by the end of 2025.

Presentation College Athenry will hope their long wait is over this Monday (St. Patrick's Day - 17th March 2025) when they take on Thurles CBS in the Masita All-Ireland Post Primary Schools Senior A Hurling Final. Galway are also seeking to end a 30-year famine since St. Raphael's, Loughrea were victors in 1995. It's a repeat of the 2023 semi-final when Athenry edged their opponents 0-15 to 0-14.  Aaron Niland, Seán Murphy, Aodhán McDonagh, Darragh Counihan and Michael Fallon are still involved from that victory. This is Presentation's fifth final appearance following defeats in 1976, 2018, 2019 and 2023.  The latter three came at the expense of St. Kieran's, Kilkenny but Presentation Athenry got a measure of revenge in this year's semi-final, winning 4-13 to 2-11 thanks to goals from Oscar Fitzpatrick, Ciarán Leen, Eoin Hannon and Ethan O'Brien.  Thurles CBS, chasing a first title since 2009, overcame Coláiste Bhaile Chláir 0-21 to 0-17 in their semi-final. Leading up to the game, Presentation Athenry manager Paul Hoban has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly. == Throw-in at Croke Park on St. Patrick's Day is 3pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.

Every week Éamonn Murphy is joined by The Echo team including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.Here we examine the February window for club U21 football, which was washed out before the finals could be completed.Do inter-county managers have too much control over underage players? Is there an alternative time of the season when it can be held?Where do the Cork footballers stand in the pecking order after shipping three goals in a loss against Monaghan? Despite two defeats from four Division 2 league outings, they could still get back to the top flight but in their current guise, they're probably not strong enough to survive in that tier anyway.Defensive frailties were a concern even when they edged out Westmeath in a thriller and they'll need to tighten up at the back with Roscommon in the Páirc this Saturday night.Pat Ryan's side will be desperate to show more than they did up in Thurles when they face Kilkenny. Tipp were four-point winners but, aside from the first quarter, the livelier, harder working and more clinical outfit.Cork have a bit of an injury crisis at the moment but that doesn't excuse a lack of intensity and bite though. Especially when Cork need a couple of young guns to force their way into the championship first 20.We'll know a bit more about where the hurlers and footballers are at after the Super Saturday triple-header.You can listen to the Echo Sport Podcast every week wherever you get your podcasts or on www.echolive.ie/podcast Hosted on Acast.

The Echo Sport Podcast takes in all the latest GAA action. We discuss the ongoing Cork County Board media ban, which was brought in 13 months ago and prevents reporters from attending monthly delegate meetings. Information about commercial developments is still emerging but some clubs would rather journalists were allowed attend to ensure transparency.There's a massive weekend on the horizon for the Cork hurlers and footballers.John Cleary's side are off to Monaghan in what is a vital game if they're to have a shot at Division 2 promotion, though the hosts will be eager to bounce back from a loss to high-flying Roscommon. It took a Chris Óg Jones hat-trick to snatch a one-point win over Westmeath, which doesn't suggest the Rebels have to tools to make the step up to the top flight.However, are we expecting too much from Cork football?They're effectively a top-12 side on the basis of league and championship results over the past few seasons so why what right do Cork have to get the better of the likes of Westmeath? There's a SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh factor too where games are higher scoring and more open on such an expansive pitch, which other counties love to sample.On the football front, we also discuss the latest U21 action and preview the divisional finals.The hurlers had an extended break since the facile win over Wexford and the battling draw with Limerick and are in Thurles on Saturday night. Tipp lost to Limerick in their last game but do look on a mission to atone for a poor championship last year.UL and DCU denied us an all-Cork Fitzgibbon Cup final, taking out UCC and MTU Cork. UL did have a Cork contingent on their winning team in Jack Leahy, Brian O'Sullivan and Ciarmhac Smyth.

The new commission-free Love Tipperary Gift Card has gone live in the county with over 190 businesses accepting the card, including national brands and independent businesses. Tipperary businesses say the new gift card will drive footfall in local towns, take 'shop local' to the next level and provide an easy way to reward staff. County Tipperary Chamber and Tipperary County Council are behind the newly launched county-wide gift card for the towns of Carrick-On-Suir, Clonmel, Cahir, Cashel, Tipperary Town, Thurles, Templemore, Nenagh and Roscrea. Available to buy online as physical gift cards or digital e-cards, a range of shops, restaurants, salons, attractions and services are participating. Edel Kennedy is the owner of ladieswear boutique Edel's Boutique in Nenagh and said the gift card is a positive move for the county: "Nenagh is a thriving market town with many wonderful restaurants, coffee shops and of course boutiques. It's a shopper's paradise, we have it all! Nenagh's success can definitely be attributed to the fact that so many of the businesses are managed and run by the owners. We really do care about our customers and our town. Edel's Boutique has been in Nenagh for 19 years and has seen so many changes in that time, including plenty of challenges for small business owners. "The gift card is a fantastic initiative because it keeps money in the community. Small businesses have to pay commission to accept the national gift cards which is tough when margins are already tight. But the Love Tipperary Gift Card is commission free. As we approach the Christmas trading period, we as business owners are very excited for the launch of the gift card. We feel positive that we can take 'shop local' to the next level and put Tipperary on the map. "In Ireland, we have such a great incentive to reward staff tax free through the Small Benefit Exemption scheme and what better way to reward staff than the Love Tipperary Gift Card, encouraging employees to shop in the county, driving footfall and helping create thriving towns where people want to live and work. It's a no-brainer for organisations." A unique feature of the gift card is that it can be spent with both national brands and independent businesses, including New Look in Clonmel. Aisling O'Meara is the store manager and said: "New Look in Clonmel is one of the most profitable in Ireland but even as a national brand, we'd noticed a drop in footfall and were keen to look at initiatives to increase both footfall and dwell time in Clonmel. When we heard about the Love Tipperary Gift Card, we said 'this is amazing and how do we get involved'. "Even though New Look is a big brand, we're all local businesses staffed by local people and we all have pride in our town. By working together and backing each other through the gift card, we can help our town and our businesses to succeed. "The great thing about the Love Tipperary Gift Card is that it has to be spent in Tipperary county and will encourage people to visit Clonmel and other towns. I think the choice on offer with the card is really good. People will look at where to spend it, visit one business, and likely stay to try others. We have a reward and recognition scheme at our store, and this year we will buy the Love Tipperary Gift Card because it puts the money we invest in rewards back into our town." 5th generation Tipperary Town business O'Rahelly Sports is also participating. Bryan O'Rahelly said the gift card promotes the county: "The fact that people will have a card in their wallet - physical or digital - that has Tipperary on it is brilliant. It's a bit of advertising for our county and it's a push for people to shop local who might not have otherwise. It also means it's less likely to be forgotten about. "Some of the national gift cards have a 10% commission for businesses to accept the card whereas the Love Tipperary Gift Card has no commission, so when people buy the Love Tipperary Gift Card as a present, or orga...

Plans for a new McDonald's in Thurles has been met with local backlash over health concerns. We hear about the concerns from Dr Paul Ryan, A GP in Thurles.

As winter approaches and the evenings get shorter, stand-up comic and Sweden's number 13-ranked snooker player Brian O'Grady dropped by the studio for a chat about his life on stage and at the table. We talk about how he came to live in Sweden, what happened when he first saw live stand-up comedy in the Liffey, and how a lot of what he has done since has been to impress the ten-year-old lad growing up in Thurles in a very different Ireland to the one we know today.

County Tipperary Chamber and Tipperary County Council are collaborating to introduce a county-wide gift card to champion 'shop local' and boost the local economy. The Tipperary Gift Card is set to launch pre-Christmas as part of efforts to drive footfall and spend across the county and in the towns of Carrick-On-Suir, Clonmel, Cahir, Cashel, Tipperary Town, Thurles, Templemore, Nenagh and Roscrea. Once launched, the Tipperary Gift Card will only be able to be spent with registered businesses, in person, locking spend into the county. There will be a 0% commission rate for the first 12 months for Tipperary businesses to accept the new gift card, keeping 100% of the transaction within the business. All types of businesses are eligible to accept the card, including retail, hospitality, leisure and tourism, health/beauty and services, with no additional equipment required. Businesses don't have to be a County Tipperary Chamber member to be a part of the new gift card. Michelle Aylward, Chief Executive at County Tipperary Chamber said: "Local businesses are the backbone of our Tipperary communities and now is the time for us to work together on a single shop local gift card for the whole county that will be transformative for our towns. "The Tipperary Gift Card is a phenomenal opportunity for Tipperary businesses to bring people through their doors with money to spend. With the zero commission to accept the card, there is no reason for a business not to be a part of this gift card. And as all types of consumer facing businesses can accept the card, it spreads out the benefit across Tipperary. It will provide tangible support for businesses and help to pull our communities together." Sinead Carr, C.E. of Tipperary County Council stated: "The availability of such an opportunity in County Tipperary is something I have long envisaged and I am particularly delighted to see that it will be in place for the Christmas 2024 period. Registering to accept the forthcoming Tipperary Gift Card is straightforward and cost-free. As we approach the key Christmas trading period, being a part of the gift card is a route to new revenue and new customers." The Tipperary Gift Card will be part of the multi award winning Town & City Gift Card concept active across Ireland in Ballinrobe, Carndonagh, Drogheda, Letterkenny, Sligo and Waterford. Over €7 million Town & City Gift Cards were sold in Ireland in 2023, with around 80% of sales to organisations for staff rewards and incentives. Colin Munro is the managing director of Miconex and said: "What makes the Tipperary Gift Card unique is the technology behind it. The card is Mastercard backed so the balance gets automatically updated when customers spend. Customers can check their balance in moments using the QR code on the gift card. And there will be a digital version of the card that customers can upload to digital wallets. This all makes the process of accepting the gift card friction-free for businesses, and that is vital." Cathaoirleach of Tipperary County Council Cllr Declan Burgess stated: "The collaboration between County Tipperary Chamber and Tipperary County Council on the forthcoming county-wide Tipperary Gift Card is a fantastic example of organisations joining together for the benefit of their communities both socially and economically. When we look at the success of Town & City Gift Card programmes across Ireland, the potential of the new gift card to keep Tipperary money in Tipperary towns is considerable." See more stories here.

We've just landed back from our tour around many beautiful parts of Ireland and we've got some great live guest interviews to bring you over the coming months.  One particular stand out interview was in The Source Arts Centre in Thurles, Co. Tipperary, with an incredible man, Aidan Loughnane.  After a lengthy battle with grief, anxiety and an eating disorder, that almost pushed him to the brink of death, Aidan decided to turn his life around. He found a love for running and began sharing his story and love for exercise on his Instagram, Running with Aidan, where he has built a community of runners and supporters with his tough love approach. Niall and Aidan discussed their similar journeys with mental health and exercise, the good, the bad and the obsessive, and the small moments of hope and perspective that pulled Aidan out of a dark place. It was an important moment for Aidan as his Dad was in the audience and hearing him speak about the extent of his struggles for the first time.   This episode discusses some sensitive topics, including eating disorders and suicide, please take care when listening.  Check out Niall's Sleep course over on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/niallbreslin Follow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.
