Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 8ú lá de mí Mheán Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh.

I 1976 bhí na Gardaí ag fiosrú tine sa halla pobail I gCorcaigh le níos mó ná 50 míle punt de dhamáiste déanta.

I 1983 bhí 12 stáisiúin gin ESB chun dúnadh timpeall an tír..

I 2001 tháinig daoine sinsearach a raibh ag obair ag Institiúid Tiobraid Árann amach ag rá nach raibh na mic léinn ábalta lóistín a fháil. Bhí campas I nDurlas agus Cluain Mheala agus bhí nach mór 200 mic léinn nua ann. Ach roimh a thosaigh siad ní raibh na mic léinn ábalta lóistín a fháil.

I 2008 bhí Larkins I Garrykennedy sa treoirleabhar Michelin Eating Out Pubs 2009. Bhí sé teach tábhairne amháin amach as 17 sa tír a raibh sa leabhair de 550.

Sin ABBA le Dancing Queen – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1976.

Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1957 tháinig Reet Petite ó Jackie Wilson amach don chéad uair ach chuaigh sé chuig uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain 29 bhliain tar éis.

I 1973 chuaigh Marvin Gaye chuig uimhir a haon lena hamhrán Lets Get It On agus d'fhan sé ann ar feadh dhá seachtain.

Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Martin Freeman sa Bhreatain I 1971 agus rugadh amhránaí Avicii sa tSualainn ar an lá seo I 1989 agus seo chuid de amhráin.
