Riverdance the movie: Pierce Brosnan and Brendan Gleeson hoof it up on a screen near you Michael Flatley becomes an impressively antlered elk in animated film based on the hit show
about 3 hours ago
It was inevitable that Riverdance would be made into a movie. The stage show has been going strong for much of the 25 years since the night in 1994 when Michael Flatley and Jean Butler bounded on to the stage at the Point Theatre in Dublin to perform the Eurovision interval show dreamed up by John Colgan and Moya Doherty.
But how would that look on screen? Would it be like a concert film or a Mamma Mia! sort of thing, its cast tap-dancing around an idyllic Irish village? Would it go for Commitments-type urban decay or just say feck it and smother the whole thing in wild mountain thyme?

OFFALY History seldom write a blog on a living person but we are making an exception for John Flanagan, the modest man from the Meelaghans, Puttaghan and New Road, Tullamore who has invested his whole life (so far) in making Tullamore a better place for people to live, work, bank and even pray in.
We in Offaly History occupy offices at Bury Quay rebuilt for us in 1991-2 by the John Flanagan firm and now Offaly Archives, another Flanagan development is located at Axis Business Park, Tullamore. Perhaps his greatest achivement was the building of Tullamore Court Hotel. Great in that it was against the odds and had been talked about in Tullamore for thirty years but nothing was done.

Stardust 40th anniversary: I remember what I did after my brother s funeral. I went to another funeral
In the early hours of Valentine’s day 40 years ago, there was a fire in the Stardust club in north Dublin. By Sean Murray Saturday 13 Feb 2021, 12:05 AM Feb 13th 2021, 12:05 AM 43,398 Views 16 Comments
“This isn’t about a fire. It’s about people’s anniversaries. 48 of them died. We have to remember them. Not lose sight of them.”
FEBRUARY IS A month that Linda Bishop never enjoys.
“The minute the calendar flips, you know it’s going to be a bad month,” she says this week. “Once the month goes into February, you already start feeling the niggles. You see the advertisements for Valentine’s Day. It all builds up to that day.”

Beer Saints: St. Columbanus of Ghent
Today is the feast day of St. Columbanus of Ghent (543 CE–February 15, 959 CE), not to be confused with Columbanus from three centuries earlier. He was a patron saint of Belgium, Ghent, and brewers. He was probably born in Ireland but moved with his followers to Ghent, Belgium, to escape raiding parties. There isn’t a great deal of information about him, and he’s not much remembered outside Belgium. He’s buried in the cathedral of Ghent, which at the time was known as the church of St. Bavo. His name is in the litany to be recited in Belgium during public emergencies.
