In what was possibly a radio first, the gory backstage details of a night out with fearsome band Ministry were revealed live on air... Yes, our Ronan Casey and three of his mates had blagged their way backstage after a Dublin show in 2003. Shockingly, one of the most notoriously headonistic bands of all time asked Ronan and his Mullingar pals to mind their backstage rider.
Anyhow, Ronan was in for his weekly Friday ‘All News is Local’ review of the local newspapers, and not heavy metal showbiz memories.
He brought us the shocking story of the theft of eight goldfish from a B&B in Westport, the new crime capital of Ireland, cut ‘n’ past prison reports, plans to create a mini-Gaeltacht enclave in Clondalkin, crime capital no festive cheer in Dundalk, the District Court Judge who had ‘Joe Duffy moment’ in TV licence case hearing and the amazing story of how Limerick would be a complete deathtrap if hit by zombie apocalypse.
If you have spotted anything in your local paper, let Ronan know, via the show email and twitter
This week’s stories came from Connaught Telegraph, Tuam Herald, The Kerryman, Limerick Leader, Clondalkin Echo, Longford Leader, The Nationalist, Dundalk Democrat, Leinster Express and the Mayo News.
