Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 29ú lá de mí Iúil, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh.

I 1976 tháinig an nuacht amach go raibh an príosún I bPortlaoise ag gearradh siar ar daoine ag teacht chuig an áit.

I 1988 rinne nach mór 10 míle duine iarratas ó 3 ilchríoch don phost a bhí 50 punt gach seachtain agus iad ag traenáil mar gharda.

I 2003 fuair daoine muisiriún mór ar feirm timpeall Béal Átha Gabhann. Tháinig sé amach go raibh sé 9 n-orlach agus tháinig Tommy Dooley abhaile leis agus fuair sé é air fheirm a sheanathair. Cheap daoine go raibh sé an muisiriún is mó a fuair duine riamh – ach ní raibh siad ábalta é a thástáil mar ith duine é.

I 2012 bhí Baile na gCailleach mar óstach den Fhéile Cut Loose a bhí lán de ghéine, buataisí agus bandána agus bhí a lán ceol tíre ann I gcomparáid leis an Novena chuig Our Lady of Perpetual Help.

Sin Elton John agus Kiki Dee le Don't Go Breaking My Heart – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1976.

Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1968 rinne The Beatles taifead ar a amhrán Hey Jude a raibh seacht nóiméad don chéad uair.

I 1973 chan Led Zeppelin don tríú huair I Madison Square Garden ag deireadh den turas ceol a raibh 33 dáta.

Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Joey Essex sa Bhreatain I 1990 agus rugadh aisteoir Will Wheaton I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1972 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé.

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

Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 29th of July, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh

1976: Portlaoise jail introduced cutback on jail visits.

1988: Almost 10,000 people from 3 continents applied for the £50 a-week garda training jobs.

2012 - Holycross, normally more renowned for hosting the annual Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help in September, but it boasted a pilgrimage of a different kind when disciples of country and western music would don their Stetsons and jeans, boots and bandanas for the Cut Loose Festival. 

 2003- A giant mushroom found on a farm near Silvermines this week has caused a bit of a stir. The mushroom, which measured a massive 9 inches across, was brought home by four-year-old Tommy Dooley who found it on his grandfather's farm at Kilboy. Could it have been a record for a mushroom? Hard to know as the evidence was eaten. 

That was Elton John and Kiki Dee with Don't Go Breaking My Heart – the biggest song on this day in 1976

Onto music news on this day In 1968 The first recording session of The Beatles seven-minute epic ‘Hey Jude’ took place.

1973 Led Zeppelin played the last of three nights at Madison Square Garden, New York at the end of a 33-date North American tour.

And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – Joey Essex with born in the UK in 1990 and actor Will Wheaton was born in America on this day in 1972 and this is some of the stuff he has done.

I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.
