As Rafa would say, this is ‘kwality.’ Not everybody likes Rafael Benitez, but Newcastle are currently languishing in the relegation zone of the Premier League, and their fans must be feeling pretty good to have a coach of his distinction take over for the season’s final quarter. One woman, however, got a bit too excited […]

This is quite a handy development indeed. Facebook is collaborating with Spotify in order to allow Messenger users to share music through the instant-messaging app for the first time. By going into Spotify and selecting to Share a song, and then clicking on the Send To option, there is now the choice to send something […]

Neither Enda nor Gerry will take kindly to this. Popular Lithuanian news website DELFI were reporting on the outcome of Ireland’s recent general election, which is nice of them, the only problem is that they weren’t really paying very close attention. The website correctly identifies the ‘Airijos premjero’ (we think that means Irish Taoiseach) as […]

There’s a lot to miss about being a kid. For starters, the world is an awful lot more simple when you can run around your garden pretending to be an airplane. On the other hand, being an adult also has its perks – such as being able to afford to board an actual airplane. Really, […]

This is the first agreement of its kind. RTÉ have agreed to sub-license the rights to show 22 of the games from this summer’s 2016 European Championships to TV3 in an unprecedented agreement between the two broadcasters. While RTÉ will retain the rights for all of Ireland’s games and have first-choice of matches in the […]

It’s all about equality. LGBTQ groups had historically been forbidden from participating in New York City’s Patrick’s Day parade, with few exceptions. New York’s mayor Bill de Blasio became New York’s first mayor to take a stand against this exclusion by refusing to accept an invitation to the parade after taking office in 2014, and […]

If there’s something strange in your neighbourhood… We all know the song. We all know the story. We’re all very excited to see what the Ghostbusters reboot is going to be all about. Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones are reviving the world’s favourite fighters of the paranormal in order to keep […]

We’re not really sure what they’re going for here. There are plenty of subtleties and nuances about how people communicate via text these days, but one of the more widely known tricks of text messaging is to essentially explain that you are flirting by adding a winky face to the end of your message. If […]

Someone fetch a bar of soap. With the week that’s in it, we’d expect everybody to be on their best behaviour when it comes to talking to their mammies. Apparently, one daughter in particular didn’t get the memo and decided to give her mam some amount of abuse after her mother mistakenly told her there […]

This has got to be true love. After a Dublin man returned from a stag weekend for his buddy in Edinburgh, he retired to his room presumably to hit the hay and recuperate. His wife and son were out of town until Wednesday, so upon reaching his bed he was pretty pleased to find a […]

Those words don’t even make sense in that order… A website by the name of chillilicious.co.uk has concocted one of the most unusual Easter Eggs we’ve ever heard about. Finally, people who are too terrified to wrap their lips around a bottle of the sugary, caffeinated, fortified wine that is Buckfast can get their fill […]

Her reputation for being sound is well-deserved. As if Adele’s incredible voice wasn’t enough for her to win universal adoration, her random displays of soundness surely seal the deal. Today she made one of her biggest Irish fan’s dreams come true by making sure he didn’t miss her show this weekend. Patrick had been a […]

What are the chances of this? Labour are struggling badly to hold onto their seats this weekend, and one of their last hopes is the party’s Deputy Leader Alan Kelly who is slogging it out in Tipperary South. His challenger for the constituency’s final seat is incumbent Fine Gael TD Tom Hayes, and the two […]

You can’t always get what you want… As things stand, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil have picked up 57 seats of the 98 that have already been won. With Fine Gael on 28 and Fianna Fáil on 29, they are both far ahead of Sinn Féin who are in third with 13 seats. As such, […]

This is how the new Dáil is shaping up. 95 of the 158 seats up for grabs in Dáil Éireann have been filled since the counting of the ballots began yesterday morning. As it stands, Fianna Fáil have already already improved upon their return in the 2011’s General Election, and Labour have won only four […]

“Owwwwww!” Fianna Fáil James Browne won the second seat in his Wexford constituency yesterday, retaining a seat his father had held for the previous 30 years… Nevertheless, we think the new TD has a long way to go before he’s the most recognisable person with that name… We can only assume that, when asked how […]
