Not everyone will have a vivid memory of what 1992 was like in Irish society so let us to cast your mind back. Charles Haughey resigned as Taoiseach and was replaced by Albert Reynolds in February, the Beef Tribunal dominated the majority of the domestic news and the Gulf War was escalating in the Middle East. In the sporting world, Donegal won their first ever All-Ireland title after beating Dublin at Croke Park and Michael Carruth won gold at Barcelona. '92 was also an interesting year for music though because Linda Martin won the Eurovision while tracks like Rhythm Is a Dancer - Snap!, Stay - Shakespears Sister and End of the Road - Boyz II Men were number one in the Irish charts. Tunes! JOE reader Gerry McGuire sent us in this wonderful throwback video of what clubbing in Ballina was like during the early '90s and it's absolutely wonderful. Take a look at how much things have changed in the 24 years since. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSzlj0B1Qp4&feature=youtu.be%20-
