The Irish Merlin Old Moores Almanac makes its predictions for 2020 as part of two-and-a-half century-old tradition – Extra.ie

The mists of time have been parted by the folks from Old Moores Almanac, which is packed from cover to cover with juicy predictions.

The Almanac, a two-and-a-half century-old Irish tradition, was founded by Theophilus Moore known as the Irish Merlin and is published annually.

Last year it successfully predicted events such as Dublin mens Gaelic football triumph, J-Los engagement/marriage, and an Irish ferry making the news.

In November, 16 people were found in a shipping container on-board a Stena Line ferry heading from France to Ireland.

So get your notepad and pen ready, heres what Old Moores Almanac believes is going to happen in 2020.

We hope some of the more ominous predictions are wide of the mark

Yup, the 45th president of the US President will not get a second term, according to the publication. Theres no word on who will replace him could it be Sanders, Warren or Biden?

Interestingly, the change in power does not run smoothly and the almanac forecasts violent clashes between opposing sides during the US election campaign.

After a turbulent year that saw her first marriage break up, pop star Miley Cyrus finds love again with singer Cody Simpson.

The couple have been dating for several months, after Mileys marriage to Luke Hemsworth ended.

While it might be early days for the loved-up pair, Old Moores Almanac thinks wedding bells are in the air for 2020.

After seeing manager Jim Gavin step down, Dublin wont win a historic six-in-a-row All Ireland Gaelic football title.

Instead, the Kerry mens team will claim the All Ireland, while Cork is the predicted winner of the womens competition. In hurling, Kilkenny will go all the way in the chase for the Liam MacCarthy Cup.

The feisty rock duo have been getting in each others faces since their childhood days. But since the band split in 2009, the brotherly banter has turned into something of a feud.

While Noel Gallagher recently said a reunion is unlikely due to his moron brother Liam, there could be hope for Oasis fans. Old Moore mystics say reconciliation is on the cards.

After years spent exiled in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, Julian Assange was arrested by British authorities earlier this year. The incident sparked debate over whistleblowing and freedom of speech.

However, the Wikileaks editor now faces extradition to the US regarding classified material leaked to the organisation by army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning. Could 2020 be the year Assange is taken into US custody?

The last time Icelands unpronounceable Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted in 2010, there was travel chaos throughout Europe and put it on the global map.

Well, 2020 could be the year that the volcanos fiery power returns to haunt us all over again.

According to Old Moores Almanac, it is time for another Icelandic eruption.

Not a prediction anyone would want to see come true. Drones are increasingly (and perhaps annoyingly) becoming a ubiquitous part of the technology landscape.

Maybe its only a matter of time before a publicly available drone is used to harm. We certainly hope Old Moore has this one wrong.
