Ros na Rún star Fiachna Ó Braonáin has told the Ray D'Arcy Show on RTÉ Radio 1 that his role as Luke in the TG4 soap is "kind of something that's been bizarrely percolating for about 10 years", having auditioned twice in the past.
I m looking at a photograph on Instagram. It s a striking image of actress Caoimhe O Malley. There she is: eyes closed, long dark hair swept back off her face, prominent dark eyebrows, one large sparkly earring decorating her left ear, her right arm raised above her head. And she s wet.

Irish art-pop empress
RóisÃn Murphy kicks off her new(ish) disco-inflected solo LP with a sprawling eight-and-a-half-minute instrumental track called âSimulationâ.
I mean, who does that. Bold as fuck. And more to the point, why does it work so well?
âI fetishise ideas,â RóisÃn tells Clash chattily down the phone on around the squillionth week of lockdown, when asked if sheâs hinting at simulation theory.
