One Direction's Niall in tears after concert
Wednesday 25 January 2012
The performance at Dublin's O2 last night was especially meaningful for the Mullingar native as Dublin was where he auditioned for The X Factor back in 2010.
He tweeted after the show: "Ireland! Absolutely incredible is an understatement! Thank you for a lovely welcome home! "Had goosebumps all night and a tear in my eye!"
He added: "#Irishandproud small nation but we can sure make a hell of a lot of noise! Love you all! Dream come true".
One Direction's Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Zayne Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles

- Mad Men
The fifth season of Mad Men has moved on slowly from the studied stillness of the early days to present at least one earth-shattering pivotal moment an episode. We've also noticed small chinks emerging in Don Draper's granite-like countenance (we don't mean his recent choice of hideous sports jackets) and the feeling that, perhaps, the man is heading for a great fall and a taste of his own medicine in the love stakes. We could of course be wrong and he and young wife Megan will live in domestic bliss forever. Ha! In tonight's episode, it's the season of goodwill to all men, and Christmas wishes look set to become a reality for some of our Madison Avenue favourites.

- Eurovision Song Contest Semi-Final One
Eurovision Song Contest Semi-Final One RTÉ Two/BBC Three, 8.00pm Rating: *** The Jedward juggernaut rolls into the Borat-like Azerbaijan and with Marty Whelan providing commentary on our brave boys' efforts it really doesn't get more Eurotastic than this. This is the first of two semis in the lead up to Saturday's singing shootout and John and Edward will be battling to be one of the ten countries from each semis to join the host nation, along with France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom in the final. Let's hope they keep their head above the, eh, waterline.

- Touch
In tonight's all-new episode, Jake forms a special bond with another mute boy. It's a typically eventful week for Martin, swinging from the expose of a corrupt cop to the romantic endeavours of a Brazilian street musician hoping his guitar-playing will also pluck the heartstrings of a beautiful woman he's had his eye on. News comes to light about one of Teller's key patients too. High concept but warm and fuzzy high concept all the same.

- Fíorscéal
Every child gets through some 6000 diapers before he or she is toilet trained. Every diaper takes 400 years to decompose in landfill. Worn for just a few hours, then chucked away to rot forever in the garbage, diapers are a symbol of our modern aspirations and consumerist society and have become an ecological nightmare. All the more frightening if we consider that babies from China and India are not yet wearing diapers. Fíorscéal presents both a serious and humorous investigation into the diaper dilemma with this film.

- Neville's Doorstep Challenge
Door stepping is a much frowned upon journalistic practice but it's more than acceptable for a crack commando interior decorator like Neville Knott. In this new series, he arrived unannounced at a randomer's door and offers to turn their life around, well, their kitchen/bathroom/living room. Tonight Nev and the team makeover a dining room in Co. Clare and in the process we the amazed viewer learn how to transform a burnt orange, uncoordinated dining room into a classical slice of the Hamptons (is that in nearby Ennistymon?), on a tight budget. And of course, proud homeowners Collette and Alan get to see their brand new space for the first time.
