Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 17ú lá de mí an Mheithimh, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh.

I 1977 níor rinne mórán daoine óga vótáil sa toghchán, agus fuair siad amach é sin nuair a dhún siad na bhothán vótála sa tír an oíche roimhe.

I 2005 tháinig sé amach nach raibh Éire chun reifreann a bheith acu ar an bhunreacht nua go dtí 2006.

I 2001 tháinig sé amach go raibh Cluain Mheala an bhaile chun a bheith páirteach den lá gan aon charr san Eoraip. Bhí ach córas iompar poiblí, rothair, coisithe agus roinnt feithicil éagsúla ceadaithe tríd an bhaile.

I 2008 lainseáil siad club rith príobháideach I Tommevara. Ag an am bhí an Tipperary Inn Racing Club an t-aon chlub gan tráchtála sa tír.

Sin Kenny Rogers le Lucille – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1977.

Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1997 bhí círéib ag Ozzfest in Ohio tar éis a tháinig sé amach nach raibh Ozzy Ozbourne chun canadh ann de bharr go raibh fadhb lena scornach. Bhí fearg ar an lucht leanúna agus mar sin de bhris siad fuinneoga, tharraing siad crann amach as an talamh agus chas siad carr bunoscionn.

I 2006 fuair Shakira a chéad uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena hamhrán Hips Don't Lie. Bhí sé an t-amhrán a raibh daoine ag éisteacht leis den chuid is mó nuair a tháinig sé amach agus sheinm sé nach mór 10 míle uair ar raidió I Meiriceá. Bhí rath mór ar an amhrán timpeall an domhain agus shroich sí uimhir a haon I 17 tír.

Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh amhránaí Kendrick Lamar I Meiriceá I 1987 agus rugadh amhránaí Barry Manilow I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1943 agus seo chuid de amhrán.

Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.
