Everything you need to know about Kneecap at Fairview Park
Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap are set to take to the stage under a big tent in Dublin's Fairview Park on Thursday, 19 June.
The gig comes after a wildly busy and occasionally tumultuous time for the Belfast group, consisting of Móglaí Bap, Mo Chara, and DJ Próvaí.
In May, Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, whose stage name is Mo Chara, was charged with a terrorism offence over the alleged displaying of a flag in support of Hezbollah at a gig in London last November.
The group have denied any wrongdoing and said they intend to defend the charge. Ó hAnnaidh is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 18 June, the day before the band's Fairview date.
The rapper said he believed the prosecution was designed to "silence us" and prevent them playing Glastonbury Festival, with the band set to make their debut at Worthy Farm on Saturday 28 June with a set on the West Holts stage.
Whatever the outcome for Mo Chara on 18 June, the band's Fairview Park date is sure to be a particularly raucous affair.

LGBT+ community experiences most discrimination in Ireland
Gay and lesbian people are the most discriminated against demographic in Ireland, according to new statistics. Some 59% of gay and lesbian people believe they have been discriminated against, according to the latest survey on equality and discrimination from the Central Statistics Office (CSO). More than half of bisexual people, or 55%, similarly reported such discrimination last year. Separately, nearly half of transgender or non-binary people, 46%, had reported some form of discrimination over the previous two years. In terms of racial discrimination, just under half of black Irish, black African, or others from a black background had been the subject of discrimination since 2022. The same form of discrimination was experienced by just one in five white Irish people over the same timeframe, though within that cohort, members of the Traveller/Roma community experienced far higher levels, with 42% reporting being discriminated against. More generally, more than one in five people aged over 18, or 22%, said they had felt discriminated against over the previous two years – a notable increase on the 18% figure returned in 2019, the previous iteration of the CSO's study. Workplace discrimination The most common places to experience discrimination were in the workplace, where 7% of respondents said they had been discriminated against. In retail and hospitality, the figure stood at 5%. The survey noted that 7% of the people polled had experienced discrimination in the workplace, up from the 6% returned as part of the prior 2019 study. Taken in terms of gender identity, it found that transgender or non-binary people were more than three times as likely to experience workplace discrimination - 22% versus 7%. Workplace discrimination broadly means situations where someone is treated less favourably than another person in a similar situation on foot of their differences, in terms of marital status, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, and religion. The most common form of workplace discrimination was bullying or harassment, reported by more than one-third, or 35%, of those polled. In terms of action taken to mitigate such harassment, by a distance the most common response was a verbal interaction –taking the matter to a manager, service provider, or a support organisation – opted for by 16% of those experiencing the discrimination. Just 1% of those experiencing those workplace issues took legal action. Other forms of discrimination The study found that younger people aged between 18 and 24 experienced the most discrimination generally when looking for work, with 7% of that cohort reporting discrimination compared with just 3% of those aged between 45 and 64 years. In terms of discrimination in social settings the most common areas for this to occur were retail and hospitality businesses – such as shops, pubs and restaurants. The most significant ground for such discrimination in those settings was race with 33% of respondents, with age at 15% also a 'very significant factor', according to CSO statistician Maureen Delamere. In terms of race, more than one in four of the various black ethnicities responding to the survey said they had experienced high levels of discrimination in social settings like shops and other retail outlets. Regarding financial institutions, the overwhelmingly largest form of discrimination experienced was on the grounds of age, with 38% of respondents indicating same. The next most common ground was socio-economic background – as indicated by a person's address for example – at 24%, followed by race with 18%. Some 3% of respondents said they had been discriminated against in contact with An Garda Síochána, with by far the most common occurrence being a traffic stop by Garda personnel. Read More

Viral TikTok food trend, Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup comes to Ireland
Dublin's dessert scene is set for a sweet shake-up with the arrival of Strawberry & Co., a limited-time pop-up at the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre on South William Street. Dubbed the Dubai chocolate strawberry cup, the trend is directly inspired by the viral chocolate strawberry stalls at London's Borough Market, Strawberry & Co. brings the same sense of spectacle and indulgence to Ireland – but with a refined, Irish twist. Irish punters can enjoy hand-picked Wexford strawberries lavishly drizzled in flowing Swiss chocolate, prepared fresh in front of you from a mesmerising chocolate fountain. Pastry chef Ludovic Lantier, the renowned French talent behind the Strawberry & Co. menu, said: "We've all seen the queues at Borough Market and elsewhere overseas for these and the buzz on TikTok, but we wanted to elevate that concept with beautiful Irish strawberries and a more refined finish. The menu is playful, luxurious, and simply delicious. "There's something timeless about strawberries and chocolate, but this is about more than nostalgia. It's about joy, indulgence, and creating a little moment of magic in the middle of your day. "I wanted the menu to feel decadent but fresh. We use real ingredients, local produce, and everything is finished on the spot for maximum impact. "It's that blend of craft and fun that makes Strawberry & Co. so special. Watching the dramatic pour of the chocolate over them after you order really sets the mouth watering! They are just incredibly delicious and made ready for Instagram." The pop-up will operate daily from 11am until sold out, and run through summer 2025 only, wrapping up at the end of August. Strawberry & Co. is a locally-owned concept reimagining the global dessert trend that's taken cities like London and Dubai by storm. From TikToks racking up millions of views to queues stretching through Borough Market, chocolate-drenched strawberries are a worldwide obsession – and now, Dublin has its own take. Each signature cup includes 200g of Wexford strawberries and is priced from €9.50. Whether you choose the flowing Swiss chocolate, pistachio cream or lime-marinated berries with Madagascan vanilla Chantilly, it's impossible to take a bad photo. The menu, developed by French pastry chef Ludovic Lantier specifically for this Dublin Pop Up, features:
