"It's been a time of celebration for some, of speaking out against terrible crimes for others, of 1990s nostalgia, major upheaval, and more. Our writers Kim Bielenberg, Kirsty Blake Knox, John Meagher and Tanya Sweeney take you through it all. It was the year of new faces at the Áras and in the Vatican;"
"of rekindled hope for the Ireland men's soccer team and potential World Cup glory (at least the glory of maybe getting there this time); of an Irish-speaking rap star landing himself in an English court; of bravery in speaking out against male violence; and of Oasis returning to stadiums and live shows for a record-breaking tour that had the whole world donning bucket hats again."
New faces appeared at the Áras and in the Vatican, signaling political and institutional change. The Ireland men's soccer team experienced rekindled hope and a renewed chance at World Cup qualification. An Irish-speaking rap star faced legal proceedings in an English court. Survivors and others demonstrated bravery in speaking out against male violence, prompting public attention and conversations about accountability. Oasis returned to stadiums and live shows on a record-breaking tour that revived 1990s nostalgia and popularized bucket hats. The year combined moments of celebration, major upheaval, cultural comebacks, and persistent social challenges.
