Dublin city is getting an amazing, and most importantly, free festival over the Easter weekend. 

Cruinniú na Cásca will be held across Dublin city centre from 11am to 6pm on April 17, and it looks pretty cool. 

The festival is celebrating creativity and culture in contemporary Ireland.

The activities for the festival include live music and dance, coding, theatre, art and music workshops, talks. food and drink tastings, readings and screenings.

"It’s an initiative that is close to my heart," said An Taoiseach Enda Kenny.

"The theme for Cruinniú Na Cásca 2017 is diversity and inclusion. As a people, as communities, we can only benefit from taking a day every year to think seriously about ourselves, to have important conversations – but also to share our experiences and to come together to enjoy our cultural heritage and the work of our artists and performers.

"I firmly believe that Cruinniú has the potential to enrich our social and cultural lives long into the future.”

The event is organised by RTE in association with Creative Ireland, and it's definitely an interesting way to celebrate Easter this year!

 Oh, and while we have you; don't forget to have your say in the inaugural SHEmazing Awards this May! It's time to vote, and you can do it right here!

As the week goes by, it seems to get much more difficult to eat healthily and stick to your balanced life goals.

By Wednesday, your motivation is seriously challenged by the second birthday cake of the week in the office., right?

To help you avoid falling into the processed food trap, we have rounded up some healthy options available on Deliveroo, so you can get a tasty fix (almost) without lifting the little finger. 

Cracked Nut

Their rustic decor and lovely food range is worth a trip to Camden Street alone, in fairness.

Cracked Nut’s tasty salads and feel-good wraps as a healthy takeaway for when you forgot to bring your lunch to work. 

Póg

When all calories are indicated on the menu, it makes it easy to go for the lighter option.

Known for its delicious fro-yo, the eatery also offers a scrumptious Spicy Chicken salad (with spinach, spicy chicken, red onion, white cabbage, avocado, sundried tomatoes and asian dressing) for only 330kcal.

Add the salted caramel smoothie (made with dates, Himalayan sea salt, oats, banana, and almond milk) for an extra tasty 205kcal. 

Chopped

With 20 locations around the city, Chopped is now pretty much everywhere when you need a wholesome and tasty meal.

But the Irish healthy food chain also delivers delicious salads, smoothies and wraps to the comfort of your own home. Our favourite, the Dubliner Caesar, comes at around 500kcal and as cheap as 5 euros. 

The Lo-Cal Kitchen

This café based in the Phoenix Park Racecourse produces food that tastes great, but without the bad ingredients.

What is on the menu? Dishes low in calories and filled with nutrients, such as a Supergreen salad or the Nutty quinoa salad (328kcal), made with broccoli, almond, quinoa, peanut, carrot, pistachio, green peas, black eyed beans with a zingy Asian dressing.

Cocu

Cocu is famous among Dubliners who like to eat healthy on the go. With several locations in town, the fast (but good) food has become a favourite for a quick and tasty lunch.

While you can’t get their new poke bowl delivered, you can order a delicious Falafel with pickled carrot, cherry tomato, cucumber and hummus for less than a tenner.

Freshii

A healthy lunch destination inside the CHQ Building, Freshii is also a good delivery option to enjoy a delicious Buddha's satay bowl, with rice noodles, crispy lentils, carrots, broccoli, cabbage, green onions and peanut sauce among other wholesome dishes and treats.

Once you arrive you simply pick your spot and tune in your radio to hear the film, simple!

Tickets are €28.00 for a car of five, or €30.00 for a seven-seater, so it's juat as affordable as a regular cinema ticket but with the added 1950s experience.

La La Land received 14 nominations in this year's Academy Awards, and took home seven six gongs at the end of the night, so to say it has been the movie on everyone's lips is an understatement.

We waited for months for its release, and none of us were disappointed with the final result – a film full of music, love and dancing.

You can't beat the Irish humour.

We take the mick out of anything, and basically go roundabout ways of explaining things.

Well, this Dublin comedian, Emma Doran, decided to ask her dad all about aul fella language – and the outcome was pretty funny.

From phrases such as 'grand', which means your dad just doesn't want to talk to you, to telling you 'ask your mother', which means he doesn't want to be bothered, there's a lot of hidden meanings.

And frankly, most of them just mean he wants you to leave him alone.

Have a watch of Emma's video and let us know if your dad speaks 'aul fella language'.

It looks like the lads had a bit of craic in Dublin last night.

Busted played the Olympia in the capital and then stopped off at 37 Dawson Street to have a few whiskeys.

They shared a photo on their Twitter account and seemed quite content in the corner relaxing after playing to a sold out crowd.

A source told Goss: "It was the last night of their tour and they were in having some drinks to celebrate with their entourage.

"They came in after their gig and had a few different whiskeys in the Whiskey Bar at the back.

"It's a fairly cosy atmosphere down there but they were all in great form having the craic with their entourage."

If only we knew they were there last night!

Eatyard has definitely brought some extra life onto South Richmond Street, as the uber-cool food stall collective has attracted tons of foodie fanatics.

The mini food festival will be back up and running this Thursday from 12 noon, and it has announced some intriguing new additions.

First and foremost, there is an amazing waffle stall setting up shop called Bubble Waffle, and their cone-shaped confectionery treats are what dreams are made of. 

The treats take their inspiration from the street food of Hong Kong, and describe themselves as creating "a bubble waffle, filled with ice cream, fruit, sprinkles, and any topping you can dream of, all so it looks like a cone." *drools*

Next up, we have Umi Falafel, who are uprooting themselves from their location on Dame Street to make a cameo at Eatyard.

Kerala Kitchen, an Indian street food experience, and Pow Boa, a Taiwanese steamed bun stall, are also opening their doors.

The newcomers will sit alongside veteran stalls like Veginity, Pitt Bros and Box Burger to create a diverse mix of sights, scents and, most importantly, tastes.

Eatyard have also added a new stage to the market, and it will host weekly gigs, talks, demos and workshops, which will be held alongside the food vendors.

The foodie fest will run from Thursday to Saturday each week, from 12 noon. We're whipping out our eating pants.
