AN TAOISEACH Micheál Martin was among the well-known faces to strike a pose with a purple rose for Cystic Fibrosis Ireland’s (CFI) annual flagship fundraising appeal.
65 Roses Day, which gets its name from the way children often first say the words cystic fibrosis, takes place today, creating awareness around the hereditary disease while raising funds.
With public collections canceled for the second year running due to Covid-19, Cystic Fibrosis Ireland is instead encouraging the public to support people with cystic fibrosis.

Brand-new Irish jam band, Tramyard, have just launched their debut single in tribute to the late John Prine titled, “People Puttin’ People Down.” The group, featuring some of Ireland’s top session musicians, got together in the summer of 2020 to lay down their version of the John Prine classic. Initially, the recording was a personal endeavor that was not intended to be released, but the love of John Prine and the impact that his music left on the world made Tramyard change their minds. “People Puttin’ People Down” will be released on April 7th, exactly one year to the date of Prine’s passing and is available to stream and download on all digital platforms now.
