Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 26ú lá de mí Lúnasa, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1981 tháinig clann le dhá pháiste saor ó thine a tharla ina tí. I 1998 bhí plean ann chun 150 bus nua a bheith ann agus córas dairt níos fearr leis an chostas de 150 milliúin punt. Bhí an plean ann chun an trácht a laghdú I mBaile Átha Cliath. I 2001 bhí imní ann I dTiobraid Árann Thuaidh de bharr caighdeán an uisce mar go raibh cúpla eachtra truailliú. Tharla sé sna abhainn san Aonach Urmhumhan agus Ros Cré. Chuir an chomhairle coisc ar dhaoine snámh I Lough Derg chomh maith. I 2008 bhuaigh bean ón bPort Rua Aoife Kelly an Rose Of Tralee an bhliain sin. Tháinig sí amach ar barr nuair a dúirt daoine go raibh sí an Rose is fearr. Bhí sí an chéad bhuaiteoir ón chontae riamh. Sin Beyoncé le Crazy In Love – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2003. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1965 chuaigh Sonny & Cher chuig uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain lena hamhrán I Got You Babe agus bhí sé seo a t-aon uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain riamh. I 1970 tharla cóisir I Nua Eabhrac chun ceiliúradh a dhéanamh den oscailt den stiúideo Electric Ladyland. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Melissa McCarthy I Meiriceá I 1970 agus rugadh aisteoir Macaulay Culkin I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1980 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 26th of August, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1981: A young Dublin couple and their 2 children had a naroow escape as fire swept through their home 1998: an extra 150 busses and a better dart system were part of a £150m plan to tackle dublins traffic problem. 2001 - Concern was growing over water quality throughout North Tipperary following a series of pollution incidents. Pollution spills were detected in rivers at Nenagh and Roscrea, and a water supply in the Silvermines has been contaminated. Also, fears of contamination of the water supply in Newport led to it being shut down, a ban ona swimming was placed on Lough Derg.  2008 - Portroe girl Aoife Kelly's triumph at the 2008 Rose of Tralee International Festival. Aoife justified the bookies' favouritism to emerge as overall winner in a tense conclusion of the week-long festival, becoming the first ever Tipperary Rose of Tralee.  That was Beyonce with Crazy In Love – the biggest song on this day in 2003 Onto music news on this day In 1965 Sonny & Cher were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'I Got You Babe', the duo's only UK No.1. 1970 A party was held to celebrate the official opening of 'Electric Ladyland' studios in New York City, New York. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actress Melissa McCarthey was born in America in 1970 and actor Macaulay Culkin was born in America on this day in 1980 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

Harry McGee and Ellen Coyne look back on the week in politics:· The presidential race is the only show in town with Fine Gael recovering remarkably well from the news last week that Mairead McGuinness was dropping out for health reasons. Within days of that bombshell, Heather Humphreys and Seán Kelly emerged as rivals for the party candidacy, but Humphreys' momentum and popularity across party lines makes her a strong favourite to win the race for the nomination. · And while Fine Gael can count three legitimate potential candidates, Taoiseach Micheál Martin is playing his cards close to his chest with Fianna Fáil yet to put anyone forward. Perhaps former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern will eventually get the nod? · Will Sinn Féin throw their support behind Catherine Connolly in the absence of an obvious candidate in their own ranks? Mary Lou McDonald aside of course. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· Walking the Boyne Valley Camino, and Rose of Tralee winner Katelyn Cummins. Hosted on Acast.

In the early 20th century, in a remote village in Hungary, a group of women, driven to despair by their violent, abusive husbands, decided to take matters into their own hands. Their solution to their difficult life circumstances was arsenic, a deadly poison easily extracted from fly paper or arsenic-rich “flystones". The women began slipping this deadly substance into their husband's porridge, stews and drinks and according to some estimates, up to 300 people in the Nagyrév region were murdered in the space of two decades. In this episode, Hope Reese, author of The Women Are Not Fine, joins Róisín Ingle to explain why this deadly sisterhood of women were driven to kill, how the murders spiralled out of control and how they were eventually caught and punished for their crimes.But first podcast producer Aideen Finnegan is here to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week including the crowning of the 2025 Rose of Tralee, Sally Rooney's support for Palestine Action and why Rhashidat Adeleke is out of this year's World Athletics Championships.

The Rose of Tralee is one of the biggest events in Ireland's cultural calendar.It pumps millions of euro into the local economy and pulls in well over half a million viewers; no mean feat in an age of dwindling linear TV viewership.Almost 30 years of being lampooned as a ‘Lovely Girls' competition thanks to that Father Ted episode has seen its popularity undimmed.Albeit only relatively recently, it has evolved to permit married and transgender women enter the contest.However 29 is still the cut-off age, meaning you are officially too old for Rose of Tralee at the age of 30.The title is bestowed upon a young woman whom the judges think would be a good ‘cultural ambassador' for Ireland for the following year.While the spirit of diversity has been embraced, with women of colour among those to don the sash, is the competition still overly focused on a narrow version of femininity?Last year, the documentary ‘Housewife of the Year' highlighted the eponymous competition which ran from 1969 to 1995.In what seems utterly baffling now, married women were judged on their ability to “budget effectively and prepare a simple meal.”Eventually the competition was scrapped quietly; collapsing under the weight of public opinion which was rebelling against societal norms of the quiet homemaker.But the Rose of Tralee doesn't appear to be in any such jeopardy, and is arguably as popular as ever.Reporter Niamh Browne joins the podcast from Tralee to ponder the question: Is the Rose of Tralee uncancellable?Presented by Aideen Finnegan. Produced by Declan Conlon and Andrew McNair. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
