Explanation:
*An examination of the struggles endured by Holtz’s predecessor, Gerry Faust and the landscape at Notre Dame when Holtz arrived on campus
*Holtz’s hard-luck first year, where it was apparent to observers that he was turning the team around, but having difficulty making it apparent in the won-loss column.
*The breakthrough second season, with decisive victories over Michigan and Alabama, and the Heisman Trophy campaign of Tim Brown. The Irish got back on the national stage before the end of the season showed they still had some work to do.
*Third-Year Magic—Notre Dame’s classic 1988 revenge battle with Miami, the “Catholics vs. Convicts” game of college football lore and the drive to a national championship.
*Eight more strong seasons of consistent national championship contention, major bowl victories and notable players up and down the lineup.
It’s all here—the season-opening battles with Michigan, where each one seemed to be more dramatic than the one that came before it. The heated debate of 1993 over the finish with Florida State. Rocket Ismail’s bid for the Heisman Trophy in 1990 that came up just short. Three years with highly touted Rick Mirer at quarterback, with its many highs and occasional lows. The much-publicized arrival of Ron Powlus that didn’t work out the way anyone hoped. And the triumphs over adversity by Tony Rice and Kevin McDougal.

Dublin city council has greenlit a controversial plan to convert the house made famous by James Joyce’s story The Dead into a hostel, with a campaign group supported by writers including Sally Rooney, Colm Tóibín and Edna O’Brien saying they will appeal the decision.
The property, at 15 Usher’s Island, was built in 1775 and was once home to Joyce’s great aunts. Known locally as “the House of The Dead”, it is the setting for the Irish writer’s 1914 short story, widely considered a masterpiece of the form.
Dublin city council passed on the opportunity to buy the property, which Joyce called the “dark gaunt house on Usher’s Island”, in 2017, with two private investors, Fergus McCabe and Brian Stynes, acquiring it for €650,000 (£560,000).

When plans to develop the property into a 54-room hostel were revealed in 2019, the backlash was swift. Ninety-nine writers signed a letter against the proposal, including Rooney, O’Brien, Ian McEwan and Salman Rushdie. In a separate letter of objection, Tóibín claimed the development would “destroy an essential part of Ireland’s cultural history”.
