Are You Sure? (The Allisons song)
"Are You Sure?" is a song by British pop duo The Allisons, that represented the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest 1961, performed in English.

The song was performed 15th on the night of the contest, held on 18 March 1961, following Luxembourg's Jean-Claude Pascal with "Nous les amoureux", and preceding Italy's Betty Curtis with "Al di là". The song received 24 points, placing 2nd in a field of 16, the third consecutive second place Eurovision finish for the UK for whom two subsequent Eurovision entrants would also be second-place finishers before "Puppet on a String" by Sandie Shaw would give the UK its first Eurovision victory in 1967. "Are You Sure?" was also the first UK Eurovision entrant to become a Top Ten hit reaching #2 UK, the best chart showing for a UK Eurovision entrant until "Puppet on a String" by Sandie Shaw reached No. 1 in 1967.

The song was succeeded as the UK representative at the 1962 contest by Ronnie Carroll with "Ring-A-Ding Girl".

Al di là
"Al di là" ("Beyond") is a song written by Italian composer Carlo Donida and lyricist Mogol, and recorded by Betty Curtis. The English lyrics were written by Ervin Drake. The song was the Italian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1961, performed in Italian by Curtis at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France, on 18 March 1961, after Curtis had won the Sanremo Music Festival 1961 on 2 February.

Donida is best known in America for writing "Uno dei tanti", or "I (Who Have Nothing)". English lyricist Drake also wrote the lyrics for such songs as "Quando, quando, quando" and "Good Morning Heartache", and both the music and lyrics for "It Was a Very Good Year".
Tuatha Taiden
The Tuatha Taiden were a branch of the Fir Ol nEchmacht, one of the ancient peoples of Ireland.

The kingdom of Tuatha Taiden extended from Fidach eastwards to and across the Shannon towards Tara, and was probably co-extensive with Uí Maine at its greatest extent.

Fir Ol nEchmacht
Fir Ol nEchmacht was the name of a group of people living in pre-historic Ireland. The name may be translated as 'men' (Fir) of the 'people' (Ol, possibly from Dal) 'of Echmacht' (nEchmacht), the last being the given name of the people or their territory, perhaps from ech ('horse') and macht ('death', 'wonderful', or 'across the sea'). T. F. O'Rahilly believed they are connected to, or the same as, the Nagnatae tribe, mentioned in Ptolemy's second-century AD work Geography, but O'Rahilly's model of the early populating of Ireland is not well-accepted by modern scholars.

Virtually all of Ireland west of the Shannon was once named after the Fir Ol nEchmacht and was called Cóiced Ol nEchmacht until the early historic era (c. 5th-7th centuries).

It was only with the rise of the Connachta dynasty that the term Fir Ol nEchmacht was dropped and the province was renamed Connacht.
