Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 25ú lá de mí Aibreán, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1986 tháinig giall Michelle Hanlon ar ais lena thuismitheoirí tar éis a tharla troid gránghunna I gContae na Mí an oíche roimhe. I 1997 tháinig sé amach go ndúirt daoine go raibh an rialtas ag smaoineamh ar cháin a chur ar morgáiste nua chun stop a chur ar phraghas na tí ag dul suas. I 1980 bhí na sean stiúrthóir de Chipboard LTD I Scariff chun buail leis an rialtas chun thaispeáin go raibh pacáiste acu don todhchaí agus chun cosain post de nach mór 300 duine. I 1986 tháinig an nuacht amach go raibh plean ag Dunnes Stores sa chontae a raibh impleacht ó thaobh costais de do na daoine áitiúla. Sin Blondie le Call Me – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1980. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2007 I rith an turas a bhí The Rolling Stones ag déanamh dúradh nach raibh George Bush ábalta sínigh isteach chuig svuít in óstán cúig réalta de bharr go raibh sé ag Mick Jagger. Chaith Mick Jagger nach mór 4 míle punt gach oíche ar an svuít sin san Ostair. I 2008 bhí an Empire State Building I Nua Eabhrac soilsithe I ndathanna cosúil le labhandair, bándearg agus bán in onóir de Mariah Carey. Rinne siad é sin de bharr gur rinne sí a lán rudaí don tionscal an cheoil. Bhí sí an chéad duine riamh a rinne siad é seo dóibh. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Al Pacino I Meiriceá I 1940 agus rugadh aisteoir Renée Zellweger I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1969 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sí. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 25th of April, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1986: hostage girl michelle hanlon was reunited with her parenrs after a bizzare shotgun drama ended peacefully in co.meath last night 1997: the government should consider putting a tax on new mortgages in a bid to stop property prices and housing debt spiralling. 1980: fromer directors of chipboard ltd, scariff were to meet the government that thursday to present a package to safeguard the future and protect the jobs of nearly 300 people. 1986: there was a recent announcement of the upcoming planning action by dunnes stores which had already had implications for local finanaces. That was Blondie with Call Me – the biggest song on this day in 1980. Onto music news on this day In 2007 During The Rolling Stones current world tour, aides to George Bush were told they couldn’t book a luxury five star hotel suite because Mick Jagger had already booked it. Jagger had splashed out £3,600 a night for the suite at the five-star Imperial Hotel in Vienna, Austria, in advance of the band's appearance there. 2008 The Empire State Building in New York City was lit up in Mariah Carey's motif colours, lavender, pink, and white, in celebration of her achievements in the world of music. Carey was the first person in history to be honoured with this event. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Al Pacino was born in New York in 1940 and actress Renée Zellweger was born in America on this day in 1969 and this is some of the stuff she did. I'll be back with you next week with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.…
