On This Week: Taylor Swift blows away Irish audiences
This Week In Irish News 1990: Nelson Mandela fulfils promise to the Irish Nelson Mandela arrived in Dublin city with his wife Winnie for a two-day visit, fulfilling a promise made to Ireland. Two years previously, he was honoured as a freeman of Dublin city while still in a South African jail. He vowed to collect that honour someday. Mandela's arrival also coincided with another major return, where the Republic of Ireland team arrived home after their Italia 90 exploits. Mandela received the Freedom of the City, congratulated the Irish football team, and praised the support that the Irish people gave to the South African cause. 2004: Dublin gets trams for the first time in 55 years The LUAS was launched in Dublin, bringing trams back onto the streets of Dublin city for the first time in 55 years. People queued up to be the first to travel on the green line from Sandyford in south Dublin to St Stephen's Green, with many recording the trip for posterity. The last regular tram service before the LUAS was the Hill of Howth Tramway, which ceased operation on 31 May, 1959. This Week In Irish Sports 1990: Italia 90 team return home to a hero's welcome The Republic of Ireland football team returned home to a massive welcome after their Italia 90 journey. The team reached the quarter-finals of the first World Cup they had qualified for, eventually losing 1-0 to the host nation Italy. An estimated 50,000 people were at Dublin Airport to welcome the team home. Thousands more lined the route from the airport to College Green in Dublin city centre, where there was a civic reception. After four games, the Leinster Football Championship was finally decided between Meath and Dublin. After a tight game, Meath did enough to emerge victorious with a one point victory. The final score was Meath 2-10 Dublin 0-15. This Week In Irish Entertainment The Late Late Show made its Irish television debut on Friday, 6 July, at 11:20pm. At the time, it was unusual to have a live talk and entertainment show happening so late in the day. It was also originally intended to be a filler show, but after its success, it became a mainstay in Irish television. Gay Byrne was the first presenter and would remain in the hot seat for 37 years. 2024: Taylor Swift brings sold-out Eras tour to Aviva Stadium Taylor Swift became the first tour ever to sell out the Aviva Stadium three nights in a row. The singer was in Ireland as part of her blockbuster Eras tour, and over 50,000 people attended each night to see her performance. The concerts had such a performance that the song 'Shake It Off' triggered seismic activity that could be felt as far away as Co Wexford. This Week In Irish Culture Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco made a state visit to Ireland. Both were welcomed upon their arrival at Dublin Airport, greeted by Lord Killanin, Frank Aiken, Minister for External Affairs, and Charles Haughey, Minister for Agriculture, along with his wife, Maureen. While visiting, they were distinguished guests at the Petits Lits Blancs charity ball in Powerscourt, county Wicklow. 1997: Saving Private Ryan shot at Wexford beach The production of the Steven Spielberg film 'Saving Private Ryan' began shooting on Curracloe beach in Co Wexford. The beach was the location for recreating the movie's famous D-Day landing scene at Omaha Beach, Normandy. Members of the Reserve Defence Force, dressed in Second World War US Army uniforms and carrying period weapons, marched for their part in the $40m film. The movie went on to win five Oscars, including Best Director for Steven Spielberg. What was Number 1 in Ireland This Week? 1979: 'You're the One That I Want' by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John The iconic hit from Grease is one of the best-selling singles in history, having sold over 15 million copies worldwide. 1996: 'Killing Me Softly' by The Fugees The song, originally written by Charles Fox, Norman Gimbel, and Lori Lieberman, was covered by the R&B group and became a number-one hit in twenty countries. 2017: 'Despacito' by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber The remixed version featuring Bieber has been credited for renewing the popularity of Spanish-language pop music in the mainstream. Irish Celebrities Celebrating Birthdays This Week Katie Taylor (39) Professional boxer who holds the world super lightweight championship David Norris (81) Former independent Senator, gay and civil rights activist, and scholar Róisín Murphy (52) Singer, songwriter and record producer Other Irish Trivia From This Week 1985: Dún Laoghaire baths transformed into a water slide park Dún Laoghaire baths were transformed into Rainbow Rapids, featuring Ireland's first water slides. Rainbow Rapids were operational during the summer months and could accommodate up to 250 users per day. The two slides were 300 feet long, and those using the attraction would complete a circle before dropping 40 feet into a plunge pool. The duration of each ride was approximately 30 seconds, and experts could reach up to 15 miles (24.1km/h). Looking Ahead
