Ryan Tubridy responds to speculation he will run for the Irish Presidency
Ex-RTÉ star Ryan Tubridy has responded to messages from fans asking if he will be running for the Irish Presidency. The father-of-two has confirmed he will not be running for the Áras this year. The presenter, who currently hosts his own mid-morning show on Virgin Radio UK, broke his silence on the matter, confirming he wasn't planning on running for the gig. Taking to Instagram on Saturday, the Dubliner said: 'In answer to many Insta questions, two things I'm NOT doing this weekend: 1) Going to Oasis. 2) Running for President. He added: 'Coffee and crossword for now.' Alongside the comments, Ryan shared a screenshot of a message from a follower which read: 'Come on… run for President!!!! You know middle-aged women vote in Ireland and you know you want to!' Ryan opened up about how tough the Presidential election is in Ireland, saying he is "baffled by the unhinged nature of presidential election coverage". "As someone who has interviewed the last three presidents (and their rivals in the various elections) I am repeatedly taken aback at the level of acrimony, cruelty and let's face it, prurience that goes with the task of running for the Áras," the former RTÉ star wrote in the Mail on Sunday. "The bizarre thing about it is that as soon as the president is elected, the mob stops as if switched off with a button. The President is generally respected and afforded a dignity that tends to go with the ceremonial nature of the august position. "I continue to be baffled by the unhinged nature of presidential election coverage. I understand that there must be scrutiny and that the campaign is one long job interview but is there a need for all that frothing at the mouth? "In the past few days, Mairead McGuinness withdrew her candidacy for health reasons (and I wish her a speedy recovery). For the other candidates (real or imagined) it was gloves off before they barely opened their mouths. The Irish Times went for Tony Holohan as soon as he suggested that his private polling had him at a healthy 15 per cent." The race to the Áras is set to take place in the coming weeks ahead of Michael D Higgins' retirement from the role. President Michael D Higgins will be replaced later this year Among the names hoping for a nomination include Lord of the Dance Michael Flatley, Catherine Connolly, Bertie Ahern, Gareth Sheridan and Mary Lou McDonald. Last week, Mairead McGuinness was forced to pull out of the Presidential Race on medical advice with Catherine Connolly now favourite to win the vote. A presidential election is expected towards the end of October, as it must take place in the 60 days before the term of current president Michael D Higgins ends on November 11. To be eligible to run, a candidate must be an Irish citizen who is 35 or older. They must be nominated either by at least 20 members of the Oireachtas or at least four local authorities.

Pilot's strange window-washing technique goes viral
Social media users have been left baffled after seeing a clip of a pilot cleaning the front windows of an aircraft online. The viral moment was shared on video-sharing app TikTok, and sees the pilot standing up out of one of the windows and cleaning window with what appears to be a soft drink. The clip sees the pilot opening a can of Sprite before pouring the drink on the window and then wiping with paper towels. Social media users have been left baffled after seeing a clip of a pilot cleaning the front windows of an aircraft online. Pic: TikTok Content creator Arianna shared the clip to her page, mamasdeaniebabie, and wondered if the form of cleaning was normal. She wrote: 'Ummm can someone explain to me why this pilot just cleaned the windows with spite?!?' 'Is this like a thing?' she added, 'I'm so confused.' @mamasdeaniebabie Is this like a thing? I'm so confused ♬ Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday – Chels Fellow social media users took to the comments with many just poking fun at the strange cleaning technique. One joked: 'It's actually Red Bull… gives it wings.' Another shared: 'Soda pilot can see out the window.' In actual fact, it is understood that the citric acid in the fizzy beverage works as an aid to dissolve grime, though it is advised to follow up with a rinse with clean water. Pic: TikTok A third offered: 'That's actually not sprite, it's an aviation grade window cleaner that is packaged in cans for portability. I made this up just now.' One person did appear to have the answer, however, explaining: 'Prevents ice from forming at high altitudes. Fun fact, airlines are Sprite's biggest customers.' While that's likely not the answer, many commenters were vexed at not having found the actual answer in the comments section. 'I'm mad none of the comments told me the answer,' one wrote, while another echoed: 'Me actually looking for the answer in the comments but nobody's serious.' In actual fact, it is understood that the citric acid in the fizzy beverage works as an aid to dissolve grime, though it is advised to follow up with a rinse with clean water.

‘Croke Park was shaking' – Famous faces and fans react to ‘unbelievable' first Oasis gig
The reunion tour, which sees the band play their first Irish dates since just before their dramatic split in 2009, will continue in Dublin tonight. The brothers dedicated Stand By Me to their mother Peggy, who is from Charlestown, Co Mayo, while they played a setlist of fan favourites complete with Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger. Fans have reacted to the gig online in the aftermath, with one saying: 'Until the day I die, I will say you will never see a better band. No one could come back after 16 years and do what Oasis have done. The best ever.' Many described the band as 'the greatest of all time' as they captured the sold-out crowd singing along to the songs, with the final song – Champagne Supernova – offering an 'unforgettable ending'. Another crowd, who were unlucky in the scramble to secure tickets, gathered outside the stadium to sing along. Podcaster Vogue Williams shared clips of a packed Croke Park as she declared her love for Liam Gallagher during Live Forever. "My life is made… I love Liam FOREVER,' she wrote on Instagram. RTÉ star Carl Mullan also secured tickets to the hotly-anticipated reunion tour alongside his wife Aisling, admitting the mood of the stadium during one track made him emotional. "Up Rock 'n' Roll, up joy, up Oasis, up family, up the upper Cusack, up Ireland,' he captioned a series of pictures from the stadium last night. Sharing a video of the crowd during 'Roll with It', he said: 'Of all the songs that made me cry last night, it was this. Just seeing the place absolutely heaving and having such craic was unbelievable. ADVERTISEMENT "Croke Park was shaking (no joke, going to get a drink and you could feel the stand bouncing, not sure if this always happens at gigs but it felt mental). "Enjoy if you're going tonight, the best atmosphere I've ever experienced at Croke Park for a gig.' Fine Gael MEP Seán Kelly, who yesterday morning indicated that he will 'reconsider' his presidential bid after party candidate Mairead McGuiness withdrew from the race, was also among the crowd last night. "Oasis in Croke Park. Rocking! Geniuses at play!!' he said.
