Castlebar residents and business owners raise concerns about 'far right' festival
Residents and business owners in Castlebar, Co Mayo, say they have "significant concerns for public safety and the town's welcoming reputation" after being made aware of reports that a controversial 'far-right' music festival would be taking place near the town later this month. The 'Mise Éire Festival' was originally planned for Saturday, August 23, in the Mayflower Community Hall in Drumshanbo, Co Leitrim. It was moved from the venue following community opposition, and a petition calling for its cancellation signed by hundreds of prominent artists including Kneecap, Christy Moore, Frances Black, Chris O'Dowd, Fontaines DC, and The Mary Wallopers. A far-right rally planned in Cork for that date was reportedly set to be cancelled to allow supporters to travel to the festival. On Wednesday, August 6, a message shared on the Mayflower's social media read: 'On behalf of Mayflower Community Centre CLG we regretfully wish to inform the public that the upcoming 'Mise Éire' festival due to be held on 23rd August, 2025, will NOT be hosted at the Mayflower Community Centre. 'This is due to terms & conditions not being complied with. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.' Christy Moore in concert at Live At The Marquee, Cork earlier this summer. Moore and a number of other prominent artists had petitioned against the holding of the original 'Mise Éire Festival'. File picture: Eddie O'Hare According to Mise Éire Festival's event ticketing page, it is now slated to be taking place at a location "outside Castlebar". The description of the event says festival is "for those who cherish Irish culture, heritage, and are united in celebrating our shared values". Tickets for the event, which cost between 30 and 50, are sold out. On Sunday, a group of Castlebar residents and business owners said the lack of transparency surrounding the festival had "alarmed the local community" and the festival's decision to hire additional private security suggests "that even organisers anticipate a risk of public disorder". "Castlebar is a proud, welcoming town, especially at the height of our tourist season," one local resident said. An event shrouded in secrecy, which was already rejected by another community, is not welcome here. "We are deeply concerned about the potential for disruption and the damage this could do to our reputation as a safe and inclusive place for families, visitors, and investors." The group has also launched an online petition for people to register their opposition to the staging of the Mise Éire Festival in the Castlebar area. At time of writing, the petition had garnered nearly 800 signatures in the 24 hours since it launched. In a statement, the Castlebar residents and business owners say they want local authorities and elected officials "to address the lack of transparency and ensure all public safety, licensing, and planning regulations are strictly enforced".

Superman actor Terence Stamp dies, aged 87
Superman actor Terence Stamp has reportedly died aged 87, his family has confirmed. The movie star is best known for playing General Zod in the Hollywood hits Superman and Superman II. Stamp, who was an Oscar nominated actor, also appeared in Pier Paolo Pasolini's Theorem in 1968, A Season in Hell in 1971 and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert in 1994, where he starred as a transgender woman, The Mirror UK reports. The actor is said to have died this morning. Stamp was born in London's East End in 1938 as the son of a tugboat stoker. His early years saw him endure the bombing of the city during World War Two. Before leaving school to work in advertising, Stamp won a scholarship to go to drama school. "He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come," the family said in a statement. "We ask for privacy at this sad time." His cause of death has not been reported. Stamp was known for his good looks and dress sense alongside his acting as he was dubbed one of Britain's most glamorous couples with Julie Christie. They had starred together in Far From the Madding Crowd in 1967. The actor also dated model Jean Shrimpton, and became photographer David Bailey's muse. Stamp lost out on the role of James Bond but went on to work in Italian films. He worked with Federico Fellini in the late 1960s. Stamp decided to take a break from the glitzy world of Hollywood fame as he studied yoga in India. However, upon his return he bagged his most high-profile role. He appeared as General Zod, the megalomaniacal leader of the Kryptonians, in Superman in 1978 and its sequel in 1980. The actor would often recall how he was about to become a tantric sex teacher at an ashram in India before getting a telegram from his London agent. "I was on the night flight the next day," Stamp told Watkins Books in 2015 of the moment he received the Superman call after eight years out of work. Stamp went on to star in Valkyrie with Tom Cruise in 2008, The Adjustment Bureau with Matt Damon in 2011 as well as Tim Burton films. Speaking of his life, Stamp once said: "The great blessing of my life is that I had the really hard bit at the beginning because we were really poor." Before landing his acting scholarship, Stamp chose to keep his ambitions a secret from his family as he feared disapproval. "I couldn't tell anyone I wanted to be an actor because it was out of the question. I would have been laughed at," he confessed. Stamp married pharmacist Elizabeth O'Rourke in 2002 aged 64. However they divorced in 2008 and Stamp never married again. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest news from the Irish Mirror direct to your inbox: Sign up here.
