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

I 1982 tháinig sé amach go raibh Éire I ngéarchéim eacnamaíochta mór agus de bharr sin bhí a lán daoine an smaoineamh chun dul ar imirce go dtí an Astráil.

I 2004 dúradh go mbeadh níos mó ná 35 míle duine chun dul chuig Páras go dtí an cluiche cáilithe Corn Domhanda a fheiceáil d'Éire.

I 1976 chuaigh níos mó ná 340 duine chuig léacht a raibh ar siúil faoi phleanáil clainne. Bhí Dochtúir Kevin Hume an léachtóir san ionad pobail in Inis.

I 2004 chuaigh an fhéidearthacht de ráille iarnróid leis an chostas 60 milliúin euro ón tSionainn chuig Luimneach níos faide an tseachtain sin mar go ndúirt an Roinn Iompair go raibh siad ábalta pleanáil a dhéanamh.

Sin Eric Prydz le Call On Me – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2004.

Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2006 shroich The Killers uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain lena halbam Sam's Town. D'fhan siad ann ar feadh trí sheachtain. Bhí sé a dara halbam a tháinig siad amach leis agus shroich sé uimhir a 2 I Meiriceá.

I 2007 ainmníodh na Artic Monkeys mar an banna cheol is fearr sa domhain ag na Gradam Q a raibh I Londain.

Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Matt Damon I Meiriceá I 1970 agus rugadh amhranaí Bruno Mars I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1985 agus seo chuid de amhrán.

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