WATCH: Young fan's unforgettable moment as he performs on stage with The Script
A young music fan had the night of his dreams on Saturday when he got to perform on stage alongside his favourite band, The Script, in Limerick. Young 'Charlie', charmed the crowd as he sang and helped perform a little piano piece alongside his musical hero and The Script frontman, Danny O'Donoghue, on stage at Thomond Park. O'Donoghue told the crowd at the band's only Irish date on their Satellites tour that he picked Charlie out of the masses after the lad caught his eye dressed in a Satellites Tour t-shirt and a Script bucket hat and waving a giant flag of the Irish pop-rock band. Charlie performed a duet with O'Donoghue and the band on a mini circular stage located in the middle of the heaving crowd during a version of the band's ballad, Never Seen Anything - 'Quite Like You'. 'Everybody give it up for Charlie,' O'Donoghue screamed as he invited the boy to join him on stage. Young Charlie warmed the heart of O'Donoghue and the crowd when he pointed at the singer and sang: 'I've never seen anything quite like you tonight.' O'Donoghue returned the favour and said: 'I've never seen anything quite like Charlie tonight.' 'Deadly', beamed O'Donoghue after the boy hit the final note on the singer's piano to bring the Thomond theatre to its feet. 'They're all singing your name, bro,' the frontman said as the crowd chanted: 'Charlie… Charlie… Charlie." O'Donoghue and the band rocked a sun-drenched Limerick with their anthem pop-rock, including hits such as Hall of Fame, The Man Who Can't Be Moved and Superheroes. With Limerick recently used to winning senior hurling All-Irelands - five in the past eight years - The Script concert, at one point, was akin to another All-Ireland Final after-party as the band's light show shrouded fans in green and white during the group's storming Irish rock anthem Paint The Town Green. On a glorious summer night, it all went to script. The Irish Mirror's Crime Writers Michael O'Toole and Paul Healy are writing a new weekly newsletter called Crime Ireland.

Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.

Lights, Gaeilge, Action! - Irish filmmaker on his family legacy of shooting movies
A young filmmaker whose debut short premiered at the Galway Film Fleadh this week is extending an established family legacy of shooting as Gaeilge – and working with legendary Hollywood director Ridley Scott. Oíche Chultúir – a boy racer-themed action short that is set in Gaeltacht-area Connemara – was well received in Galway, almost 50 years after writer/director/star Oisín Fleming's grandfather broke the mould for Irish language cinema. Bob Quinn's 1978 film Poitín, set in the same part of the world, was the first full-length feature shot entirely in the Irish language. Quinn, now 89, ran an independent cinema from his home, later immortalised in the 2004 documentary Cinegael Paradiso, directed by his son Robert and also screened in Galway this week. A young filmmaker whose debut short premiered at the Galway Film Fleadh this week is extending an established family legacy of shooting as Gaeilge. Pic: Sean Dwyer Fleming said he hasn't given much thought to the evolution of life in rural Ireland between his grandfather's film about illicit alcohol production and his own Kneecap-soundtracked caper, which deals in harder substances. But the 26-year-old has 'definitely thought about' the similarities between the films. 'I suppose it's interesting how we both made a crime film with a car chase, and kind of similar cheeky dialogue,' he explained to Fleming, who comes from Bray in Co. Wicklow, has two 'very proud grandparents' in Bob and his wife Helen, who 'helped write Bosco', so filmmaking 'definitely runs deep' in the family. Fleming, who comes from Bray in Co. Wicklow, has two 'very proud grandparents' in Bob and his wife Helen, who 'helped write Bosco', so filmmaking 'definitely runs deep' in the family. Pic: RTÉ That is true even before considering he is the son of Vikings: Valhalla director Hannah Quinn and cinematographer Tim Fleming, whose credits include Gladiator, Once and the Netflix smash Fate: The Winx Saga (which was directed by Quinn). In fact, both his parents worked on Gladiator, where the infant Fleming first shared a set with legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott, though it turned out that it would not be the last time. Fleming was a trainee assistant director on the 2021 historical epic The Last Duel, starring 'absolute gent' Matt Damon. 'I definitely was inspired by how direct he was and how calm he was and how simple it was,' Fleming said of working with Scott. 'Just don't overcomplicate it. Direct and clean [instruction] is just always better. You don't want to confuse anybody.' The emerging filmmaker has learned from his parents, too, and doesn't play down the head start he got over less-connected peers. Pic: Supplied One day of the shoot 'really sticks out', he remembered. 'It's a massive scene, 150 extras in the middle of this medieval battle. And over the walkie-talkie, they're like, 'Right, stand by, rolling.' 'And then he goes, 'Okay, wait, wait, let it cook.' And he just waits for 30 seconds, just lets the tension build just to get more out of the performance – just little things like that. 'He'd also set up a shot and say over the walkie: 'I'm painting a Vermeer.' He's an amazing artist. He's always referencing shots or paintings that he wants to recreate. I just love that.' 'I won't lie; it makes my life a lot easier because [my parents are] so well-liked. And I've actually worked with a lot of these people in my career now, that I'd been on set with as a kid. So I'm so lucky. Pic: Supplied The emerging filmmaker has learned from his parents too, and doesn't play down the head start he got over less-connected peers. 'I won't lie; it makes my life a lot easier because [my parents are] so well-liked. And I've actually worked with a lot of these people in my career now, that I'd been on set with as a kid. So I'm so lucky. 'I don't take it for granted. I've had every opportunity to move up in the industry, and I never, ever complain. I just keep my head down and work on it. When I get the nepo baby accusations, I just take it on the chin.' Fleming said he abandoned plans to go to film school after hearing from enough graduates that they 'wish they'd just started working'. Pic: Sean Dwyer Some 60 credits into a career that began at 16, his parents would appear correct in telling him they have 'only brought me to the door'. 'If I'm not good enough, there's no way I'd make it to 60 credits, I suppose,' he added. Fleming said he abandoned plans to go to film school after hearing from enough graduates that they 'wish they'd just started working'. 'They wished that they just learned on the job, because there's only so much film school can teach you, I think. And then people come out of film school maybe and they get a shock to the system, because the industry can be pretty brutal.' Both his parents contributed to Oíche Chultúir, and have mentored their son on their own jobs. 'We work really well together. My mum was definitely tough on me when she trained me first as an assistant director for my first few jobs, but I suppose she did that for a reason, to kind of shape me up. But I'd really love to work with them more.' His brother Jacob and half-brother Eoin are also pursuing film careers, following their father into cinematography. It was not his pedigree or Gaeilgeoir background that inspired Fleming to make films in Irish, but the international success of Colm Bairéad's Oscar-nominated An Cailín Ciúin – first noticed by Fleming while working on The Gone with his mother in Australia. 'All the Aussies I was with wouldn't stop going on about this little Irish film called The Quiet Girl, and I thought, 'Wow, I'm on the other side of the world, and we don't seem to be celebrating our own Irish language films as much as other people do.' 'On the way home, I did the [funding pitch for Screen Ireland] with the Kneecap track [H.O.O.D] in mind, having not known there was going to be this massive Kneecap explosion.' The band were 'reasonable' in licensing the track for use in the film, while fellow Irish-language rapper Súil Amháin requested a donation to the charity ACALI' Palestine in place of a fee. Fleming said the feedback so far has confirmed his belief that the 'tone of the Irish just feels better than the English' in his film. 'I like the cadence when you write it, and I just like the cadence of my film. I'd love to play around with that more.'
