Talk:2008 in Ireland

Let's actually fill this page for once
I've noticed that past years (eg 2006 in Ireland, 2007 in Ireland) aren't really that full of information. So starting in 2008 I say we begin to fill this page with events as the days go by. Not to recond every single day, but just the ones that make the big headlines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.71.103.36 (talk) 20:48, January 5, 2008 (UTC)
 * Notable events do not occur every day and adding entries just for the sake of it would produce an unnecessarily cluttered list of trivia. "Big headlines" are not necessarily a reliable guide to lasting notability; the media thrive on attention-magnet sensationalism and forgettable incidents of no lasting interest.
