Art, and the Talent Within. Top Story - January 2025.
When I was in seventh grade, my English teacher Mrs. Simmons had our Fridays very carefully planned. It was the day that we would have our spelling and vocabulary tests, which I was always horrible with. But that Monday, as we got our study guides with our words for the week, she would give us the chance to get bonus points on our test. Every week, she would pick an art piece for the week. If we learned the name and who the artist was, it was easy points. Once the test was over, she would play classical music and while we wrote in journals, she would pass around a huge can of candy, where I would always rummage through until I found my favorite, a sour lemonhead.

From the Oscars to the Olympics: Nine Reasons to Be Excited About Ireland’s 2024
Despite the challenges and tough moments that 2024 brought, there were plenty of reasons to smile and celebrate in Ireland. Here’s a rundown of some of the highlights that made this year memorable. **Cillian Murphy’s Oscar Win** The year kicked off with a thrilling moment for Ireland: Cillian Murphy won his first Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster. The entire country was buzzing with pride. In addition to the Oscar win, Murphy and his wife, artist Yvonne McGuinness, made headlines by purchasing the Phoenix Cinema in Dingle. His performance in *Small Things Like These* also garnered positive reviews, and the film performed well at the box office in both Ireland and the UK. Although Murphy is reportedly taking a break from acting, we can look forward to the *Peaky Blinders* film on Netflix, where he stars alongside Barry Keoghan. **An Incredible Olympics and Paralympics** With the Olympics taking place in Paris this year, Irish viewers didn’t have to deal with late-night broadcasts. Ireland had an impressive presence, with 133 athletes competing in 16 sports and 35 athletes across six sports in the Paralympics. The Irish team made us proud, with gold medal wins from Daniel Wiffen, Kellie Harrington, Fintan McCarthy, Paul O'Donovan, Rhys McClenaghan, and a thrilling near-medal finish by the women’s 4x400m relay team. The Paralympic Games also saw six medal wins from Katie-George Dunlevy, Róisín Ní Ríain, and Orla Comerford. **Seán Ronayne’s Impact** One of the heartwarming stories of the year was the success of *Birdsong*, a documentary featuring ornithologist Seán Ronayne. He used the platform to raise awareness about the importance of protecting Irish nature while also advocating for neurodiversity. Ronayne’s memoir, *Nature Boy*, earned him further recognition, including at the Irish Book Awards. **The Kabin Crew’s Global Success** Who could have predicted that a group of young kids from Cork and Lisdoonvarna would make one of the best songs of 2024? Their track *The Spark* garnered over 50 million streams on Spotify and made headlines worldwide. The collaboration between Cork’s rappers and children from Direct Provision in Lisdoonvarna resulted in a feel-good anthem that was longlisted for two Grammy categories. The kids even found time to release a Christmas song. Truly an uplifting story! **Taylor Swift Mania** In June, Ireland was swept up in Taylor Swift’s *Eras* tour. Swift charmed fans with her three-night stint at the Aviva Stadium, where she praised Ireland for its storytelling tradition and unique accents. The event left fans buzzing for days. **Paul Mescal’s Continued Success** Paul Mescal continued to shine in 2024, starring in the blockbuster *Gladiator II*, which received solid reviews and performed well at the box office. The Kildare native, who was already a star after his Oscar nomination and his work in *Normal People*, has now firmly cemented his place in Hollywood. With talks of potential Oscar buzz surrounding *Gladiator II*, Mescal’s rise shows no sign of slowing down. **Nicola Coughlan Steals the Spotlight** May brought the return of *Bridgerton*, with Irish actress Nicola Coughlan shining as Lady Penelope Featherington. Coughlan was not only recognized for her role, but also for her advocacy, as she raised nearly €2 million for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. Her candid approach and humor made her an even more endearing public figure. **Irish Authors Dominate the Literary Scene** Irish authors continued to make waves globally. *Wild Houses* by Colin Barrett made the Booker Prize longlist, and Sally Rooney’s *Intermezzo* became the fastest-selling book in Ireland this year. Additionally, Oprah selected books by Colm Tóibín and Claire Keegan for her book club, further elevating the global presence of Irish literature. **Kneecap’s Groundbreaking Year** West Belfast’s Irish language hip-hop trio Kneecap had a phenomenal year. Their album *Fine Art* was a hit, and their film *Kneecap* made over €1 million at the box office in the UK and Ireland. The trio also won a legal battle over UK government funding and were shortlisted for an Oscar. 2025 is sure to hold even more exciting accomplishments for Kneecap. In a year that had its challenges, these stories show the resilience and creativity that continue to define Ireland. Looking ahead, there’s no telling what incredible achievements the country will celebrate next.
