Most people see Father's Day as a commercial event, but like celebrating it anyway
Today at 21:30 Most people consider Father's Day as a commercial invention, but despite this huge numbers still take the opportunity to honour their dads. And 'Have you asked your mother?' has emerged as the favourite Irish dad saying. Father's Day is always celebrated on the third Sunday of June – tomorrow. About €57m is expected to be spent by children on their dads tomorrow, according to research carried out by market research company iReach. One in two adults told researchers they will celebrate Father's Day and do something special for their dads. Of those who celebrate Father's Day, the majority plan to give their dads presents. A minority said they might even receive a present from their dad, while nearly half of those who buy presents will get a Father's Day card. One in four sons or daughters will take their dad out for dinner. Researchers found 53pc of adults think Father's Day is a commercial invention, but feel it is still good to celebrate it. Only 15pc of respondents think the day is overly commercial and should not be celebrated. Large numbers of respondents said their favourite Irish father saying is: 'Have you asked your mother?' Other favourites recounted by sons and daughters included: 'Were you born in a barn?' Another popular dad saying is: 'As long as you're living under my roof....' More than half of adults questioned think fathers should be more honoured by society in general. A large number think fathers should be more celebrated by the media in Ireland. More than half of adults think fathers should be more supported, but only when there is gender equality for parents in Ireland, according to the survey of a nationally representative sample of 1,000 people. Restaurants, wine shops and sock retailers all heavily promote Father's Day. Among the most common gifts people expect to buy for Father's Day are alcohol, food and a meal out. To avoid excessive expense, finance experts have advised sons and daughters to club together with their other siblings or mothers to buy one meaningful gift. With a day out being the gift that fathers most commonly want, consider looking out for offers on experience days, local attractions or events They said a homemade meal, baked goods or a hand-crafted gift can be more thoughtful – and more affordable – than store-bought options. Sons and daughters have also been advised to look for discounts on 'experiences'. With a day out being the gift that fathers most commonly want, consider looking out for offers on experience days, local attractions or events. The idea of having a Father's Day is understood to have begun in America, but it has since become a tradition in Ireland and the UK. Father's Day, as we know it, originated in the US in 1910. Over time, the tradition spread, and by 1972 it was officially recognised in the US. Ireland and the UK followed suit, adopting the same date. The idea was successfully prompted in 1909 by a daughter who, along with her five brothers, was raised by her widower American Civil War veteran, according to The Economic Times.

Former ‘Irish Independent' news editor Philip Molloy remembered as key figure on media landscape
Mr Molloy was from Co Wexford but lived in Glenageary in Co Dublin. He held the role of news editor with the Irish Independent when it was owned by Independent News & Media from the early 1990s to 2005. In October 2005 he was appointed executive editor of news, with overall responsibility for news investigations. Mr Molloy was previously news editor with the Irish Press, and started his career with the Wexford People and the New Ross Standard newspapers. He was also the former writer and presenter of The Picture Show on Saturday evenings on Newstalk where his expertise on film and the movie industry was well known and respected. His funeral notice says he died peacefully on Tuesday, after a long illness, at St Vincent's University Hospital in Dublin. He is survived by his wife Sheila Wayman, children Richard, Jenna, David and Daniel, grandchildren Riley and Annie, sisters Marjorie, Georgina and Rosarii, brothers Jackie and Colm and by Mary and Vivienne as well as extended family, former media colleagues and friends. Assistant general secretary of the National Union of Journalists, Séamus Dooley said Mr Molloy was a key figure on the Irish media landscape. 'To the public he was best known as a film critic, but he was a hugely influential news editor. As news editor of the Irish Independent he was dogged, committed and supportive of a team of hard-working correspondents and reporters,' he said. 'He was a loyal NUJ member and, unusually given his rank, served on the chapel committee.' Current and former colleagues have also been paying tribute. Former newsdesk colleague Don Lavery said he had a mind as sharp as a knife. Others said he was always calm, even when under intense pressure, and that he always had time for young journalists. Former colleagues remembered how he offered encouragement and advice freely, that he was a brilliant, supportive and inspiring news editor, and good fun too. The funeral will be held on Monday in St Paul's Church, Silchester Road, Glenageary, followed by cremation at Mount Jerome Crematorium. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
