The Late Late Show on RTÉ One.

A standing ovation for fearless and tireless researcher Catherine Corless…

Fintan Dunne writes:

“Ahead of  last night’s  show, I spent yesterday in Catherine’s company with Kathy McMahon of Irish First Mothers as Catherine’s husband Aidan plied us with coffee and biscuits.

Catherine’s demeanour then was just as relaxed, but with the inherent strain of it all visible on her face.

Tonight, as she turned to face the deep acclaim, her features lit up like the clear light she represents.

The people have ssued a verdict.

The existing secretive and minimalist Commission of Investigation just slid into the deep on an ebbing tide…

In fairness.

Brendan Murray – Dying To Try’

Rayne Connery writes:

Singer and musician Brendan Murray will perform the ballad Dying To Try at the Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv in Ukraine this May.

The ballad was co-written by Swedish song writer Jörgen Elofsson and British song writer James Newman. The song was chosen from over 320 entries by a judging panel of six industry professionals.

Classy power ballad or drippy autotuned nul pointer?

This afternoon.

The Spire, O’Connell Street, Dublin 1

Some members of Ireland’s Tibetan community hold a vigil to mark the 58th anniversary of the Tibetan National Uprising of 1959 and the 9th anniversary of the Uprisings of 2008, when thousands of Tibetans rose up against China’s occupation of Tibet.

Tibetans and supporters mark March 10 each year to show solidarity with Tibetans inside Tibet and to honour and support the resistance to Chinese rule that continues to this day.

Another week, another serving of unreal alternative radio from the disruptors at Dublin Digital Radio, with heapings of on-demand content including highlights streaming above, and a packed schedule for the weekend.

Writes collective member AXXS:

We have been witnessing a huge interest and activity during our special 24 hours of Women’s Voices session that kicked off on Wednesday night, to broadcast female voices in support for #strike4repeal. Some highlights from that day include Dandelion and Aoife Nic Canna, who opened a night of amazing set of shows presented by artists and activists from around the capital. Kate Butler closed the night with her live set Witching Hour.

Other highlights from the past week have been: an incredibly pleasant show from Wah Wah Wadio with a mix of fresh house; Richie Bree & James Kirwan’s Sonntags Radio with some laid-back grooves, and a selection of their favorite records; IBM with a mix of tracks from Philip Jeck, Leroy Smart, unknown Tanzanian musicians and more; a very cool mix from Breen with soul and funk put together in his show Beneath the Bricks/w Breen. Also, a great selection of post-punk presented by Elastic Witch Radio.

As always we are excited for the weekend and yet again the upcoming list of shows is looking great, featuring live shows from the sound girls in Eve at 2pm on Saturday. The Adult Store 9pm on the same day is also something to look out for, and on Sunday we have All City x Jheri Trackswith a great selection of house, techno, experimental and electro, very cool!

Listen here live, or on-demand.
