Entertainment on the night included Irish dancing, line dancing at a Joe Dolan tribute by Tom O'Rourke.

How do you solve a problem? - Like Maria!
Whether it comes from the heart, the soul or somewhere even more mystical than that, Maria Greenan’s piano-playing and singing is positively goose-bump inducing. The 20-year-old music student from Cootehill wowed the crowds at Cavan’s Got Talent with performances of songs ranging from Hot Stuff to Tears From Heaven and Billie Jean - scooping the first prize of €7,000 which she plans to put towards her education.

I am Ethan.
You may not understand me, or the way I feel today.
You may not understand my reasoning for things I do or say.
The reasons why I'm so loud and say things over & over again,
Why I run so differently or lose my homework every now & then.
I write my letters backwards and sometimes numbers too,
and when in a conversation, I'll say "Guess what" 100 times to you.
Too much noise, light, or excitement can set me in a spin.
I don't like the way these pants feel rubbing against my skin.
I try to be good, but sometimes it's hard to control,

Anglo Celt, 19th November 2008
Bright Stars autism support group are making an urgent plea for families affected by autism to get in touch with them, so that they can rally support for their ongoing efforts for a special school for children with autism to be set up in this region.
The Kingscourt-based group currently has five members but they believe there are many more people who would benefit from the Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) tutoring that they are seeking to have made available in the Cavan area.
