Any Other Business: Hoedown with Sunshine is music to Irish artists' ears
Today at 00:30 If listeners to the Dublin radio station Sunshine 106.8 have been hearing a lot more Daniel O'Donnell and Nathan Carter of late, it's because a request has come in from the regulator. Radio stations make measurable promises in their Programme Policy Statements when they get a licence, and Coimisiún na Meán occasionally checks to make sure they are being kept. Sunshine's remit is to pump out Country Crossover and Soul, but 20pc of its music should also be Irish. When the regulator tuned in one day, however, the proportion stood at 16pc. The station was 'asked to provide assurances' that this would be fixed, and 'there would be no repeat of this shortfall in the future'.

The year Bohs fell apart." Bohs have only two Leinster Senior Cups and a Setanta Cup in 2010 to show for their following 16 years of football.
