A dip into the news and music archives from 2008, the year Bertie Ahern was replaced as Taoiseach by Brian Cowen, and the Irish stock market suffered its biggest ever one-day fall as the international economic downturn began to take hold. Barack Obama won the American presidential election, Irish boxers brought back three medals from the Beijing Olympics, and Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova triumphed at the Oscars. Featuring music by Katy Perry, Kylie Minogue, Jordin Sparks, Sam Sparro and Elbow
