Eurovision winner shows the power of music for nursing home residents

Eurovision winner Niamh Kavanagh’s performance for residents at a Co Wicklow nursing home has been called “better than medicine”, as the power of music in care facilities is highlighted this week.

This will see more than 100 residents in 30 nursing homes singing and playing music for an online performance that will be shared with other nursing homes.

This includes 100-year-old Peig Ryan, a traditional musician and music teacher, performing Peig Ryan’s Polka at St Anthony’s Nursing Home in Pallasgreen, Co Limerick, and Tess Steedman, 98, a resident of Orwell Healthcare in…

New book explores how the Tipperary Star shifted its position on support for Home Rule

The growth of the market for provincial newspapers was an inseparable part of the development of literacy in the later nineteenth and early twentieth century in Ireland.

With their columns of grey newsprint unrelieved by illustrations or photographs, these long and often detailed reports can be intimidating to approach nowadays.

Connecting To Host: Finding An Online Home For Your Website

Deciding what to call your website and securing the domain name is the first step in your journey to having an online presence. Your next step is to choose a company to do the hosting for your website.

In simple terms, hosting means “where your website’s files are stored”. When people type your website’s name into their browser, the query is resolved by the internet’s Domain Name Service protocol and converted from words into an IP address. That IP address is the internet address of the server that’s hosting your website, and whatever is located at that IP address is what is rendered in their browser.
