After the long Paddy’s weekend, maybe you’re still struggling with life. Nursing a hangover that just won’t go away. Well, here’s the perfect cure to bring you back to life. A cúpla focal from around the country to brighten your day! Let’s get into it!

The Marathon Queen of Dundalk: Collette O'Hagan Leads the Parade

There were many parades around the country on Monday and manys a grand marshal but one stood above the rest. You might even say, that if being a grand marshal was a race, she’d win 1,000 times over! Collette O’ Hagan hailing from Dundalk took the high seat and oversaw the grand precession that was, the Dundalk parade on Monday 17th. Collette was a very worthy pick as she has recently completed her 1,000th marathon. That’s over 26,218 miles of blood sweat and tears over the years. Makes me feel bad about getting winded climbing the stairs in Tesco! 75 years young, Collette completed her 1,000th marathon back in October last year. Collette is a true inspiration to others and proves that with a healthy mind and sheer determination, anything is possible. An absolute champion and a worthy ambassador for the St. Patrick’s day events in Louth. C’mon da town!

Trim Teen's Croke Park Dream Comes True!

Imagine walking into a massive stadium like Croke Park and hearing your own music blasting through the speakers. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, for one talented teen from Trim, County Meath, that dream just became a reality!

Teagan Nolan, a young musician recently got the surprise of a lifetime when her songs were played at Croke Park. The look on her face when she found out? Absolutely priceless! It's like winning the lottery, but instead of cash, she got her music shared with thousands of people.

Teagan's reaction was captured on video, and let's just say it's the kind of joyful moment that makes you smile from ear to ear. It's not every day you see someone's hard work and passion being celebrated in such a big way. So, if you're feeling down, just watch this video and get ready to be uplifted by the sheer excitement of it all!

Who knows? Maybe one day she'll be performing live at Croke Park, and we can't wait to see that happen! For now, let's just enjoy the magic of her music and the thrill of her big moment. Well done, Teagan!

Cork Singer's Viral Hit Raises Funds for Good Causes

Imagine singing on the streets of Cork one day and going viral on TikTok the next. That's exactly what happened to Korey Power, a talented singer-songwriter from Farranree. This 30-year-old musician has been perfecting his style since he was 16, and it looks like his latest song, "There's No Song," is the breakthrough he's been waiting for.

With over a quarter of a million views on TikTok, Korey's music is finally getting the attention it deserves. But what's even more impressive is his dedication to giving back. Along with his friend Dylan Brickley, Korey has been organizing an annual busking marathon in Cork City, raising over €27,000 for Cork Penny Dinners over the past four years.

Korey's already had three number one hits on iTunes with songs like "Shadows," "Street Lights," and "Give Me A Reason," but this viral sensation might just be the start of something big. So, if you haven't checked out his music yet, now's the perfect time to join the party! Who knows, maybe he'll be the next big thing in Irish music, all while spreading kindness and helping those in need.
