Storm Frank continues to wreak havoc. Heavy rain and strong winds from the storm have had a particularly damaging effect in Cork, where parts of the town of Mallow were submerged under seven feet of water earlier today. In the village of Conna, meanwhile, a road has partially collapsed due to the severe weather conditions, as […]

Several flights have been affected today because of Storm Frank. JOE reader Pat O’Regan sent us footage of a Ryanair plane aborting an attempted landing due to severe winds at approximately 1.15pm this afternoon. When you see the footage below, you’ll soon understand why. @JOEdotie Airline Pilots earning their crust today at @DublinAirport pic.twitter.com/66uzpwHfSj — […]

We pity the poor van owner who came upon this sight this morning. Devilment is very much in the air around Christmas time; a few drinks and a few reunions with old friends tends to bring out the mischief over the festive season. Mischief was most certainly on the minds of a JOE reader who […]

A sight to behold. The effects of Storm Frank are being felt all over Ireland right now and the south of the country has been hit particularly hard, as is evident in this incredible image from Mallow this morning. A little further to the west in St. Finian’s Bay in Kerry, the storm has created […]

Imagine watching these with your parents. Ireland is a lot different nowadays than it was in the 1980s, when attitudes to sex and all things sex-related weren’t necessarily as liberal as they are today. There’ll always be an element of awkwardness to teaching young people about sex, but we sure hope the kids of today […]

That new belt of his is pretty stylish too. Conor McGregor had such a memorable 2015 that he was nominated in three separate Men of the Year categories. Having been narrowly been pipped by Hozier to the main award and by the Irish Special Olympics Team to the Sports Star award, he was bound to […]

This guy isn’t exactly flavour of the month in Derrygonnelly right now. A 19-year old man in Derrygonnelly in Fermanagh appeared in Enniskillen Magistrates Court on Monday to face charges for stealing a packet of crisps in an Asda store in Enniskillen in September of this year. According to the Fermanagh Herald, Jeremy McCordick from […]

There’s going to be a lot of these in the next six months. Excitement about Ireland’s trip to the Euros next summer is likely to build gradually between now and June and that excitement leads many Irish fans to channel their musical talents into a song in support of the Boys in Green. Some, like […]

It was tight. Very tight. It was hard to narrow down our list of nominees for Funnyman of the Year to just five… and then subsequently four after The Rubberbandits were removed at their own request for their own reasons. In the end, less than 30 votes of a total of over 7,600 separated our […]

How very appropriate at this time of year. Most of the categories in the JOE Men of the Year awards were designed to recognise men that we all know and admire for their exploits in the worlds of sport, music, entertainment and other areas in Irish life. So much of our content on JOE, however, […]

It’s hard to argue with 86 medals. That’s the haul that the Irish Special Olympics team brought home from this year’s World Games in Los Angeles, a truly remarkable performance from everyone involved. That medal haul included 26 gold medals, 29 silver medals and 31 bronze medals, with 16 of those medals collected on the […]

What a year it’s been for this man. Andrew ‘Hozier’ Byrne wasn’t particularly prolific in terms of new material released in 2015, but he has certainly reaped the benefits of all of his great work prior to the last 12 months. New singles from his self-titled debut album were barely off the radio in the […]

People say you look like… “their future husband”. Well played. That’s the sort of razor-sharp wit that helped Jason Power win the inaugural Best Lookin’ JOE down the road award this year, an award that we’re sure won’t hinder his chances of getting some action over the festive period. The fact that he’s a handsome […]

It’s a landslide folks. We were pleasantly surprised by the response to the JOE Men of the Year awards, but in terms of individual categories, the reaction to the Rising Star award blew us away. Just under 44,000 people voted on a category that represented a host of Irish men that rose to prominence in […]

Or winners in this case. All five contenders for the JOE Media Personality of the Year for 2015 had a legitimate claim to the award, but we’re pretty sure the eventual winners will turn out to be a popular choice. Dermot and Dave have only been on Today FM for just over a year, but […]

There was only ever going to be one winner. Two months on from his last hurrah against France, we’re still struggling to come to terms with the fact that we’ll never see Paul O’Connell in an Irish jersey again. A warrior to the last, he had been in inspirational form before a sickening hamstring injury […]

He’ll have trouble making room on the mantelpiece. Had he sat down in January and wrote down exactly what he’d like to happen in 2015, TJ Reid probably couldn’t have come up with a better script that what actually panned out. All-Ireland club champions with Ballyhale Shamrocks on St. Patrick’s Day. Another Leinster title. Another […]

He’ll be struggling to make room on the mantelpiece. As if 2015 wasn’t already an amazing year for Richie Towell, he’s only gone and won what he’ll surely consider the most prestigious award of all (ahem), the JOE Footballer of the Year sponsored by NIVEA MEN.
