Monsignor Horan, decked in his customary black cassock with amaranth red piping, buttons and sash, declares theatrically: 'What do you think is going on? We are building an airport.'

Keepers of the Steps, the living archive and cultural program at the United Irish Cultural Center dedicated to preserving generations of Bay Area Irish dancers, teachers, and families. Through stories, images, and lived experience, we'll reflect on how dance carries lineage, identity, and community forward.

Like, what the fuck are they doing?' Gaelic football jerseys in Australia! County Coogee, as it's become popularly known, hosts one of the largest Irish populations in Australia. In the most recent census, 19.5% of its residents claimed Irish heritage. When McCaul describes going down Coogee Bay Road and all you hear is bloody Irish accents, he's not joking.

Irish desserts are, in one word, resourceful. They have to be; in a nation that grappled for centuries with conflict, famine, and outright war, luxurious ingredients were not accessible to most people. Instead, the Irish turned to local ingredients like sea moss, apples, and an impressive array of dairy products to satisfy their cravings for something sweet.

Irish pubs have roots that go back to 10th-century Viking halls. And although we're talking about going so far back in time that precise dates and details can get a little sketchy, we do know there are a few pubs that opened not too long after that and are still in operation.

The Slaney Inn Bar and Restaurant in Oylegate, running for over 30 years, has been serving traditional Irish pub food, including daily specials like roast beef, bacon and cabbage, and homemade desserts, with breakfast served all day.

I just couldn't live in one of those bland houses, but I didn't have a plan for the interior design here. I simply love colour and I wanted to make the house feel warm and vibrant. The trend for grey and black, or beige and white interiors, has led to a plethora of samey-themed rooms that can look dreary, lack personality, and are unlikely to age well.

The Irish government will give 2,000 artists unrestricted weekly stipends in a program officials described as a "recognition, at government level, of the important role of the arts in Irish society." After a successful three-year pilot, the Irish government made its basic income program for artists permanent. Similar pilots have been launched here in the United States, but they're supported primarily by the nonprofit sector.

Having been hit for 1-31 by Derry on Sunday - the highest giveaway of any team in the 80 games played across all four divisions so far - one suspects that defence will be an early priority in the plush surrounds of the Quinta do Lago resort.

It was a Saturday in February 2020 when the flood came. It had been a wet winter, so wet it seemed that before the month was out, the brown trout of the River Taff might be washed clean out into Cardiff Bay before the fishing season had even begun. But this is Wales. People are used to a spot of rain.

Over half a million people are expected to get in on all the action in Dublin for the national St. Patrick's Day Parade which will feature 12 large-scale floats from independent parade companies, with over 3,000 participants involved. The parade route runs from Parnell Square starting at 12pm, through the city centre to the finishing point at the junction of Kevin Street and Cuffe Street.

Places to socialise are a key part of the culture in our towns and cities

I'm passing through Kilrush on the first bright, blue-skied day after weeks of non-stop rain and it's warm enough to leave the coat in the car and think perhaps there may be a sniff of spring in the air. I hope I'm not being previous. I'm here to check out two places I've been following on Instagram for a while, having never been to this part of west Clare before.

McDonald's locations in the United States tend to be pretty staid and uniform in design, but head abroad and things start to change. While there are a few American McDonald's that don't feature the traditional golden arches aesthetic, in historic international cities, you'll frequently find the burger chain housed in beautiful old stone and masonry buildings - with only a small McDonald's sign offering any hint of what's inside.

there's a man going around with an axe up there breaking up cars

I've never had a sense of direction. In a family where everyone knows where they're going, I'm the one who gets lost. When my son Charlie was small, he would listen as I outlined the day's itinerary-grocery store, library, post office-then interrupt. "Mama," he'd say, "I have a better way." And he did. He was five, and already knew where he was going.

Portrush has gone up a gear with several new hotels, including this from Marine & Lawn
