My Forever Tooth Fairy gift set Tooth Fairy tradition What could be more magical than losing a tooth, placing it under your pillow, and waking to find that it's been replaced with a coin by the Tooth Fairy? Irish mother Emma Duffy has the answer. She has created My Forever Tooth Fairy to amplify the magic of this age-old childhood tradition. It's a gift set that includes an illustrated picture book that tells the story of the Forever Tooth Fairies. The book also teaches children a song to help them brush their teeth. The gift set contains a Forever Tooth Fairy doll. These dolls have soft, posable bodies, so they can be used for both imaginative play and comforting snuggles. There is a magic tooth tote and tracker. The tote is a little velvet pouch in which milk teeth can be placed, before being popped under a child's pillow. The tracker allows children to record each time they lose a baby tooth and what happens when the Tooth Fairy visits. Finally, a display case has a light-up swing for the doll and storage for the book, tooth tote, and tracker. The My Forever Tooth Fairy gift set is available at for €59.95 Rainbow swim shoes, €21, from Freddie and Millie Toys Swim shoes Protect your children from the hazards of swimming with these swim shoes, from Designed to fit feet ranging in size from a children's size two to an adult size three, they come with non-slip soles to reduce the risk of skidding on wet surfaces.

Thousands descend on Wexford as President Michael D Higgins and Anthony Kearns open Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann
Last year, Wexford hosted the largest ever Fleadh, smashing the previous record held by Mullingar and the early signs are that the size and number of people attending this Fleadh will even larger Despite the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann only being just a few hours old, thousands of people, young and old and from every corner of Ireland gathered on Wexford's quayfront on Sunday, as the festival was launched at the Wexford Credit Union Gig Rig stage, by President Michael D Higgins, who gave one of his last landmark speeches, as his 14-year term comes to a close. The day got off to a great start with Ceoltóirí na Sláine performing The Paddy Berry Suite. They are a teenage traditional Irish music orchestra which was set up by Barbara Walsh and Shelly O'Grady to coincide with Wexford town being chosen to host the Fleadh in 2024. 75 young musicians from different Comhaltas branches in Wexford came together in a non-competitive way to showcase their talent.

Pioneering documentary-maker George Morrison dies aged 102
The pioneering documentary-maker George Morrison has died, aged 102. He is best remembered for Mise Éire, a documentary produced by Gael LInn and whose celebrated score was written by composer Seán Ó Riada, and its follow-up, Saoirse. George Morrison was born in Tramore, Co Waterford in 1922. His mother was an actress at the Gate Theatre in Dublin and his father was an anaesthetist. Taking his cues from both sides of the family, he initially enrolled in Trinity College to study medicine. He soon left his studies behind, however, to pursue a career in the creative arts. His initial foray into film-making was an ultimately uncompleted production of Dracula. George Morrison was to cross paths with Micheál Mac Liammóir and Hilton Edwards, two of the major Arts figures in Dublin during the first half of the 20th century and the founders of the Gate Theatre. Mr Morrison began working on documentaries in conjunction with the Gate Theatre film ventures as an assistant director and editor. In 1959, the documentary Mise Éire was released. It is considered to be George Morrison's seminal work, with a celebrated score by the composer Seán Ó Riada. The documentary was produced by Gael Linn, pioneering film-makers at the time. Its release coincided with a renewal of interest in Irish culture and identity and its first showing was at the Cork Film Festival. Using actual newsreels and newspapers from the period between the late 19th century and 1918, George Morrison presents a history of one of Ireland's most turbulent periods, culminating in the 1916 Rising and Sinn Féin's electoral victory in 1918. It is openly nationalistic in tone and pays homage to Patrick Pearse's poem of the same name which was written in 1912. It was the first full length feature film ever produced in the Irish language. Mise Éire's follow-up was Saoirse, which looks at the divisive Civil War period. A third historic documentary called Rebellion followed in 1963, and his later works included a maritime film Two Thousand Miles of Peril (1972) and a documentary on James Joyce's Ulysses, Dublin Day (2007). He is a member of Aosdána and in 2009 received the Industry Lifetime Contribution Award at the Irish Film and Television Awards. He is predeceased by his wife, Theodora Fitzgibbon. Last year, the Sinn Féin TD in Waterford, Conor D McGuinness, organised an event to honour George Morrison at the Altadore Nursing Home in Dublin. On learning of his death today, Deputy McGuinness said: "George Morrision was a celebrated, groundbreaking figure. He was a proud Waterford man, who was born and raised in Tramore. "It's for Mise Éire and Saoirse he will mostly be remembered, but he produced many great works during his lifetime. "I was happy to nominate him last year for a civil honour from Waterford County and City Council.
