Cesc appeal. J-League Big changes in the J-League after the weekend, the most significant one being the displacement of long-time leaders, Ciaran Tracey’s Bacuna Mata-ta, at the top of the table. Allan Johnson’s Comeback Kids took over number one spot and took it over in some style too, racing into a 20-point lead after a […]

Fair play, James. While the great and the good of Hollywood gathered together for the Academy Awards ceremony in LA this weekend, back in Ireland, the Prosperous Drama Group from Kildare were showcasing their own acting chops as they hit the road with their production of One Man, Two Guvnors. Before they did so, they […]

How have you found it? Dublin Airport has been rated number one ahead of all other European airports of a similar size in the latest airports survey quality results announced today by Airports Council International (ACI). Dublin Airport achieved the first place rating ahead of 14 peer airports in the Best Airport by Size and […]

Oops! We have a little under two months to wait until the return of Game of Thrones for a sixth season, but there’s already plenty of chatter about what’s coming next. Most of that chatter has focused on the fate of Jon Snow but there’s also been speculation about which characters will meet their maker […]

Zing! Donald Trump is most certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, but there are quite a lot of people in the US supporting his bid for probably the most powerful job in the world right now. Trump so regularly makes a fool out of himself that he doesn’t need anyone to do it for him, […]

The perfect complement to the flat-cap. Nobody made as much of an impact on the weekend of the general election as the Healy-Raes and with both Danny and Michael securing a seat in the Dáil, we’re going to be seeing a lot of them in the future. The Healy-Rae brothers (and seemingly, half of Kerry) […]

Time to make the most of your resources. J-League No change in the top two despite a relatively mediocre performance from the leaders last time out, although there has been a significant move from one of the chasing pack. Ciaran Tracey’s Bacuna Mata-ta remain in first place, 14 points clear of Allan Johnson’s Comeback Kids, […]

Many gaels have made the step from club to county management, from county to club. It’s garnered mixed results. There’s no scientific way of working out which manager is going to do well with which team. We can’t even agree over what is actually the step up, going to club or going to county. So […]

#HomeToVote. We like to give out about the candidates running for election on occasion, but it’s important that Irish people eligible to vote exercise their democratic right to do so and get to the polls today. The polls have been open from 7am this morning and plenty of people have been out to vote around […]

Who would use one of these? Seriously? Although they attracted a fair amount of ridicule when they first came out, selfie sticks are now commonplace and pretty much accepted within society. The tolerance for such a device, however, should never, ever extend to a new contraption that appears to have been recently invented, a contraption […]

Unfortunately, they’re not all playing on the same night. There’s going to be an eclectic line-up of artists for the Live at the Marquee gigs this summer as organisers today confirmed that Slayer, Anthrax and Tom Jones will all take to the stage. Although that sounds like one of the greatest gigs ever, the metal […]

Proper order. Word of mouth would seem to suggest that politicians haven’t been canvassing as much as may have been expected in the run-up to the general election, but there’ll be no more of it from tomorrow in any case. Any politicians canvassing in the Belvedere area in Waterford may want to avoid one house […]

Carpool karaoke is optional. Thousands of people in Ireland will undergo long treks across the country tomorrow in order to return home and vote in the constituency in which they are registered. Not everyone has access to their own car to be able to do so, however and with that in mind, the UCD Students’ […]

“Rubbernecking” appears to be at the root of the problem. Two collisions on the M50 southbound have caused traffic chaos in the capital this morning and although the collisions have since been cleared, the effects are still very much being felt as people make their way to work. The collisions occurred on the M50 southbound […]

Excellent as usual from the Aprés Match boys. TV viewers in Ireland have been inundated with programmes related to the general election in the last few weeks, but to describe some them as entertaining would be stretching it just a tad. There was welcome relief from what we’ve become accustomed to last night with the […]

Adele had a pretty good night. Not only did the 27-year old singer collect four awards, she also managed to have an award presented her to by astronaut Tim Peake via a video link to the International Space Station. Delighted to join #BRITs2016 tonight from space and present award to the amazingly talented @Adelehttps://t.co/eAAbTBVQUe — […]

You can never be too careful. Electric blankets are great for keeping us warm and cosy in the cot, but like all electrical appliances, caution needs to be exercised when using them. The Dublin Fire Brigade illustrated the damage that can be done when electric blankets are left on and unattended when posting these pictures […]

He’s a long way from Tipperary. Brendan Maher was busy renewing Tipperary’s rivalry with Kilkenny at the weekend, but we’ll soon be seeing him in a completely different light. Maher recently spent some time Down Under with professional cricket outfit Adelaide Strikers and we’ll find out how he got in #TheToughest Trade, which will air […]

Now that sounds like a debate. Some of the televised leaders’ debates in the run-up to the General Election have been underwhelming to say the least, but that couldn’t be said about a debate carried out on KCLR FM tonight. All 15 candidates in the Carlow/Kilkenny constituency showed up in the studio to debate the […]

Well played. The Dingle What’s On page is a popular one on Facebook, with thousands of people regularly logging on to see updates on events in the picturesque Kerry community and the surrounding areas and some nice pictures of what is one of the most beautiful parts of the country. The man running the page […]
