[RTÉ launches Ireland's Greatest Figures]

RTÉ launches Ireland's Greatest Figures

RTÉ has invited the public to vote for Ireland's greatest figures as part of a new television series.

From a shortlist of 40 people, the public will be asked to vote for the greatest figures in the country's history.

The shortlist includes people from across the gamut of Irish life: sport, politics, music, arts and literature.

Votes can be cast at a dedicated website: www.rte.ie/tv/irelandsgreatest/, from 9am on Monday 22 March until noon on Friday 2 April.

The top five figures, as nominated by the voters, will then become the subject of one of five brand new hour-long documentaries, each charting the individual's impact and contribution to Irish life, as interpreted and championed by a well-known personality.

The resulting series of documentaries will be broadcast this September on RTÉ One.

Once these documentaries have aired, the public will again be given the opportunity to reassess which person deserves the accolade of Ireland's Greatest Figure, with the winner being announced on 'The Late Late Show' in October.

Saturday - 6 March 2010 - Portlaoise - 7.30pm

Heading down for the match and staying over on Saturday night

Will Ronan Clarke be fit ?

Last year Laois came to Armagh and took away the two points - on a scoreline of 2-11 to 2-08

Last time Armagh visited Laois in the league was in 2007 - Laois won on double scores -  1-13 to 0-08 

Laois will have their Portlaoise club players back in the squad

Both teams will be looking for their 2nd win of the league campaign

[Armagh 1-12]

Local derby match with extra spice - Saturday Night at 7.30pm - this should add to the atmosphere

Wee James versus Paddy O'Rourke

Down have started Divsion Two extremely well and will go into the game full of confidence

Have heard rumours that the match is all ticket ? unsure whether this applies to the stand only ?

No doubt Park Esler will be packed to the rafters

As an Armagh man living in Down - this match has stood out from the other fixtures

Can Down get one over the aul enemy ?

Really looking forward to this match

My Friend has set up a ballet dance classes school in the south and was wondering what the VAT implications are ?

I read on the Revenue Website that Ballet Dance Lessons are VAT Exempt

Can she reclaim input VAT suffered on purchases/rent ?

Does she have to charge VAT on sales ?

At present she is being charged VAT on her rent.

Any help greatly appreciated

Whats everybodys team predictions ?

Will Hearty retain the goalkeeping spot ?

Will Kieran Toner move to midfield and Donaghy move to full back ?

Both teams will be looking for a good start to the campaign

Meath pushed Armagh all the way in Cross last year.

Looking forward to the game and will be making the trip down - have to get use of these season tickets lol

BTW - Setanta are covering the match live.

Did anyone else see this tonight on Channel 4 ??

Derren Brown predicted the winning six UK Lotto numbers !!

On Friday night he reveals how he did it - def sky plusing that

Wonder did I play lol

Is there any way a person can ring somebody and instantly get their mobile voicemail

The reason I'm asking is because some boyo owes me a few pound and he keeps leaving voicemails on my mobile - no missed calls  - I just get 901 calls regarding the voice message left.

Very strange ...

Did you see the size of your woman's melons ??

Does anyone know how to set up an Out of Office Reply on Outlook.

Think our email is a POP3 Account.

There is no option - under the tools tab.

Cheers

This one is funny but very cruel :

Patrick Swayze said today he won't be making a remake of Dirty Dancing but he might do a remake of Ghost in five weeks or so.

Heading over to Edinburgh in May for a Stag - the flights are booked - just need to get the hotel sorted...

You know the craic somewhere central and reasonable etc ---  a late resident's bar would be nice too - thats the best part of the night

Any recommendations on pubs clubs etc ?

I hear the grassmarkets is a good spot

Cheers in advance

At present I am using the following websites for ordering DVDs, Computer Games/consoles, CDs, books etc  :

1. www.play.com  - excellent website - fair prices - customer reviews - free delivery normally 4-5 working days

2. www.blahdvd.com - upcoming website - product range is smaller than Play.com - free delivery again normally 4-5 working days.

3. www.amazon.co.uk - huge product ranges - customer reviews - have to order at least order 15 pounds or more to avail of free postage

I don't mind the 4-5 working day delivery. 

Would use www.moneysupermarket.com for price comparison also.

Can anyone recommend any other sites or even sellers on ebay ??

Cheers
