Breaking news for September 16, 2025 on news2day: Today's fresh headlines for your perusal.

In an exciting turn of events, RTE's Agriculture Correspondent, Aengus, has covered Day 1 of the National Ploughing Championships for news2day. This agricultural spectacle is not only making headlines on the programme but is also being linked to Culture Night, a nationwide event celebrating Ireland's rich and diverse culture.

The National Ploughing Championships are currently taking place in Co. Offaly, and news2day has been providing coverage of the event, which can be watched at 4.20pm on RTE2. For those who may miss the live broadcast, the programme will also be available for streaming on RTE Player.

Meanwhile, this Friday marks the 20th anniversary of Culture Night, and events will be taking place around the country. One such celebration on Saturday in Hamm at the Santa-Monica-Platz starts at 14:00 with the Ruhrkohleorchester, followed by local and regional artists, and the top act, an Elektropop duo named 2raumwohnung, performs at 20:30. Elsewhere, there are various events happening simultaneously. At Willy-Brandt-Platz, bands like Still Crazy and Velvet Green play rock and pub classics, at Martin-Luther-Platz there is jazz, pop, and party hits, and other locations feature rock, rap, electronic DJs, children's activities, art exhibitions, and an evening theater performance, ending with an aftershow party from 22:30.

Cara McHugh, a host on news2day, recently interviewed Florence in studio to discuss some of the events for Culture Night. The specific details of these discussions are not provided, but the interview can also be streamed on RTE Player for those interested.
