 Ireland, Billion Newsdesk. A pedestrian has died in a collision involving a lorry at Maharenan Letter-Kennie. It happened just before 6 this morning. Gardie are at the scene on the R245 between the Thorn Road and Golf Course Road junction. The pedestrian, a male in his 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene. His body has been removed to the mortuary at Letter-Kennie University Hospital, where a post-mortem examination will take place. The driver was uninjured. The road is currently closed and a technical examination of the scene is being conducted by Guard the Forensic Collision Investigator. Local diversions are in place. Gardie are appealing to any witnesses to come forward and to those with footage, including dashcam footage to please make it available. A number of warranted searches took place last evening in Letter-Kennie. They were on a number of premises in the Canal Road area. They led to the seizure of a small quantity of cannabis and drug paraphernalia. Gardie say their investigations are ongoing. Sewage issues are causing delays in the takeover of College Park in Letter-Kennie by Donegal County Council. There is regular overflow of raw sewage, meaning because of a fault in the pumping station there. That means Ischke Erin will have to take responsibility for the station, and as of yet, that hasn't happened. In the meantime, Donegal County Council says it'll regularly check the sewage pumping station tanks, with residents seeking a commitment that they'll be desludged every 90 days to prevent this ongoing and regular problem. Will Councillor Jerry McGonagall raise the issue at a municipal district meeting this week? He says an agreement must be reached between the council and Ischke Erin. This is the bonus contention that we have had with Ischke Erin. They are to date are resisting taking over the mechanical plants around a lot of the states in the town. Until such times as they do, then the council unfortunately is going to be responsible for it, and yet it's a matter for Ischke Erin. So we need you to Ischke Erin and around the table. Discussions are on going with them, but we need them to take in charge and then put in place a programme for desludging on a regular basis. Landlords are facing difficulties in getting their septic tanks renewed because of a policy technicality. The Kauhulika of Lenties Municipal District, Councillor Michael McLeod raised the issue at a meeting this week. He said when septic tanks fail in inspection, they should then qualify for an upgrade. However, that can only be achieved if the tank is located on the permanent residence of the owner. He says this excludes rental properties and that's causing problems. I don't agree with that, because there's many houses right through the place for possible defective tanks when they're inspected, and those houses may be rented by whoever. Sometimes it can be quite hard to get a hold of the landlords depending on the circle stuff. So what I was asking for yesterday, don't worry, that sentence, that wording could be amended to whoever's in the house. If the person's renting a house, if they want to engage with the council to get the septic tank upgraded, if there's difficulty with the landlord, or the landlord, it's difficult to look yet. I believe that should be amended. A meeting of Lenties Municipal District has been told. Tory Ireland is still in need of a fire engine. Councillor Johnny Hemishofari says when Donegal County Council updates a fire engine elsewhere in the county, the existing engine should be assigned to the island. He says there is a greater need now because there are more people living on Tory. When there's a new fire engine being given to a station in Donegal, the old one, the second hand one should be given to Tory Ireland to have something, because the amount of people that are living on the island is two schools in their hotel and a clubhouse for the people and the tourist season. So it's important that this is at rest rather sooner than later and it's very important that this is brought to Loughard and that it's emphasized again that how important it is for a fire engine for Tory Ireland. The PSNI in Dairiansturban are urging people to be vigilant following reports of online blackmail known as sex distortion. It pertains to online blackmail of an intimate or sexual nature typically through social media. With more here's Donna Marie Doherty. The nature of sex distortion usually sees the frauds to create a fake identity to befriend the victim on social media. The exchange may start with flirting or flattery but ends with the victim coaxed into sending intimate images or performing sexual acts online unwittingly in front of a camera. PSNI warned that behind the fake and attractive guys there is a criminal. These people are often part of sophisticated and organized crime groups usually based overseas. They extort their victims by threatening to expose those images unless money demands are met. Chief Inspector McManus says the majority of victims are young men between 18 and 23 years old but this can affect anyone. Victims are urged to report the crime and not engage in any further communication.

I'm thinking this is a bit of a late start for the two of us, is it? It's a lie on first. I didn't really have to play that jingle, you know. Did you not? I put that in. Did you? I put that in just to remind people what the crack is. Oh, happy birthday, happy birthday to us. Thirty four, we're looking good for thirty four now, look. Tell you one for the boy. Look at that. I'm only putting on these glasses to make myself look sophisticated, you know. Very, very exciting day today. What we are doing here, Lee, jump in whenever you like. We are hosting a fantastic auction over the next 50 odd minutes. And we, as I said on Facebook a little earlier on, Lee, this is not a competition, right? Of course it's not. But wouldn't it be fantastic if you and I raised the most money? Oh no, come on. You didn't tell me that. If you and I raised the most money the next hour, wouldn't that be nice? It's not a competition, but wouldn't that be nice? It's a native of the three great charities, right? And we've talked about them. But I suppose the more we can raise the better. I just say it right. Here we go. You are so woke. It's not funny. Of course it's native of the three charities, but we can also win. All right, we can win. We can also win. We're in it to win it. Right, so the charities as Gooch mentioned there are the Irish Wheelchair Association. We heard from them in the weeks leading up to this wonderful day. They're looking to continue to provide excellent services. They're looking for a new boss as well. I heard that exactly. Jigsaw which provides mental health supports for young people. And often it's sort of intervention stuff. You know, wish I wish I had when I was a teenager that you are, you know, you get the advice that you need at that time to sort of, you know, get on with your life a bit better. And of course, Breast Centre Northwest, many listeners either directly or indirectly affected by that. So that's the three charities there. So Lee, do you mind if I talk first about the GoFundMe side of things? Do let me stop you. No, it's I donate. I donate, okay. And it's on our website. So listen, folks, me and Lee are normal folks. We know exactly what it's like out there. It's tough, right? And you're robbing Peter to pay Paul and to cover bills and all that kind of stuff. I know. But maybe you have a spare fiver or a tenor or maybe, you know, you're doing really quite well and you've got a little bit more. We would absolutely love, please, if you could go to HighlandRadio.com. You'll follow the link. And if you could donate there, we're already at a figure close to two and a half thousand euro. Wouldn't it be lovely to get it over three, Lee? It would mean you get it over three. That's not much to ask, is it? No, well, well, it's a lot of money, but do you know every cent counts? It doesn't matter, like if it's a two-year, three-year, five-year, whatever, do you know what I'm going to chip in? Or even three euro and 40 cent scene worth 34 years old or even 34 years. Whatever you can do, because we've got great prices. And it's very simple, simply to easy to donate. You can just go along to HighlandRadio's Facebook page and there's links there or also on the website that's even handier again. So it's easy, please. There you are. Look, I've just got the website open for those. Oh, by the way, if you want to watch me and Lee, I should have mentioned, if you want to watch me and Lee, we are streaming live now across our socials. You can go to YouTube, Highland Radio Ireland, where if you wanted to, you could throw us up on your big screen, believe it or not. Also on your Firestick and your Smart Screen TV, as I say, and we're across Facebook as well. Right. Okay, Lee, when you're run, I feel like we should have a bed underneath this. It does, it seems a bit dry. Not at all. Whatever you want. I don't have any beds. I'm as happy as I am. I just want to say, well done to the guys this morning. I had the radio tuned flat out. Did you get a lie in? I had a lie. No, I had no, well, see, well, no one's come around the hospital, right, because we were sick. Coming out today, so I had to get the household tidy and stuff, but I had the radio on and the bedroom upstairs and then when I was mooching down the kitchen, I do stuff, have the stuff on. I had it on the kitchen too. Paul and Jimmy were the mighty outcrack. They were good, but enough about them. Talk to me about the bin lorry. The bin lorry? The bin lorry, yes. What bin lorry? You sent me a video of a bin lorry yesterday. Oh, yeah, I was on a page yesterday. No was coming out today. I had pneumonia actually for the week, but he's doing great now, so thank God for that. But I was in, just checked, popped in to know how to bring in a few smoothies and stuff, very quickly then. I opened the window fresh air because it's very warm in the water, as you know yourself. So then I opened it and all I heard was your big mouth shirking away. I said, I can't get away from him. And it was the guys taking away the rubbish, right? And he had you on full flap. You can hear him on the third floor. Yeah. Well, I was on the second floor. But yeah, you were at the window and it was blasting out. And I sent you a wee video for the crack. I said, even the guys downstairs are listening to you. Listening to rubbish as they collect rubbish. Yeah, yeah, wow. That was good rubbish. Right, okay. We have been given little thank yous. I think this is the first one of it actually. For those of you who are donating, we've had great support from local businesses, which means we did randomly from those, from those who have donated. Conrad Wynne is a person that donated on our I donate page a little earlier on. And he has won a 50 Euro backstage bar and grill. How tasty is that? We need a boulevard there. I have to say that backstop. I think I can say it, we're not confined because we're not uniquely funded like RTE, for example. Yeah. The breakfast in there is gorgeous. You're hungry today because all you did out there was talking about breakfast and your fresh bread and stuff. The breakfast there is gorgeous. Where else have I had a nice breakfast? They're all very nice. Lizzie's in Don Fannahy. Lovely. That's nice. Can't recommend that. Did you have anything to eat today? No. I asked you that question another day. He says I've already eaten until about one o'clock. Where else? I'm glad it doesn't get angry. I sent her across the road here. They do a lovely breakfast as well. Lovely. All right. So I'm not excluding anyone. It's just where I've actually had a nice breakfast. Just say you're hungry and that's it. Get on with it. Right. All of those places are far too far away to deliver us breakfast. But anyway, that's not why I said it. Right. So what we have today is an auction and the prices here are high value prices and it's very likely or possible perhaps that you may actually even indeed sort of, you know, get one of these prices for less than their worth. Yeah. That's what it's going to say because you think, oh, it's going to go for funny money. Well, we do hope it's going to go for funny money because the more money we raise the better. But do you know, you can put a sneaky offer in and you'll be top of the pile and think, ah, I'll check it out later. But you could be the winner of like seven nights in a luxury villa in Spain, imagine. Right. Well, so we will go through them and so we go through them from a lot one to a lot two. I'll do a lot one. You do a lot two, right? Right. OK. OK. So what you can do right now, folks, is that you can give us a ring here in 0749 125,000 and you can bid on the the only problem is, is I have, I can't find Caroline. Could you resend the bidding spreadsheet thing to me again? Because I can't find it. I've got the email finally opened. Oh, no. I mean, someone else's email. Jimmy Stafford, what did you order? Oh, my God. I hope it comes. I hope it comes in plain packaging. OK. That's all I'm saying. All right. Let me see you. Let me find my own email. Can't find it now. That's all right. So anyway, what I was going to say is we'll give you a list. We'll give you an idea of where the bidding is at at the moment. So give us a call 0749 125,000. Please, as be as generous as you can because you're getting something very nice in return. Anna Black says hope Noah is well. He is. Very, Anna, thanks very much for getting home today. Great. So thanks very much for that. Oh, Anna, also. So sorry. It's Anna. Pick your pardon, Anna. She also says patiently waiting to hear Greg and Oshin singing. We know Lee can sing, but Lee should have played the fiddle. Oh, the fiddle? It's a long time since I brought in the fiddle. You'd pay me not to play the fiddle. Be like a cabinet. How much? 50 euro? I'll take a hundred. Anyway, it's 19 minutes past 10. We haven't talked about it. I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll take a break. Right. We'll come back and we're going to absolutely auction the hell out of our goodies. Yeah. Tell me this. Are you actually going to sing today? I don't know anything about that. Because Caroline brought it up. This started off being Oshin Kelly's Country Jamboree, right, where he's going to play country music for an hour. From the shopping centre. Now, I think I'm there, and I think Brendan Devaney's there. You're going to be there, right? I'm going to do my very best. So we're going to have a bit of fun. And it's down in the letter, Kenny Shopping Centre. What I wanted to mention as well, there's a coffee morning ongoing right now here in Highland Radio, running till 12. Come on.

Let's see now what we want to raise as much money as we can this morning throughout the day and over the weekend. But it'd be nice now if me and Greg could notch it up over. Would it be brilliant? A few zero zeros would be lovely. Exactly. Right, so let's start with our lots now. Folks, if you have money, please, and you want to bid on these, we'll give you an update as where we're at. Lee's going to go through them from lot one, right through to, I can't see what it is. That's loads of lots. Right, okay. So these are the things we're looking for bids on. Take it away, Mr. Lee. Well, if we're talking about food this morning, dinner for eight with Gary O'Hanlon and what a chef. Well, Gary will feed you and your seven friends at your home, including all your food and wine. How about that? How special is that? Maybe you could organise it during a special occasion or anniversary or something or just one big house party. Now, the bid at the moment on that from James, who wants to say anonymous beyond that is 2,000 euro. Wow, that's lovely. Right, now say you were organising a food fair and you wanted to book one of these top chefs. You couldn't. You'd be looking at four or five grand, okay? This is Gary O'Hanlon coming into your house. Two grand is the bid at the moment. Get together with eight work colleagues. It's not a big... He's big, but you know what I mean. But for what you're getting, you can get it for a really good value, right? And you're supporting the charity. Yeah, as well. But you see, this could be like one of those events that's going to happen and you say, I want it to be really, really extra special. I'm going to pull out all the stops. I'm going to have the best feed, all the food and wines included and celebrity chef Gary O'Hanlon. Two grand is the current bid. Ah, come on, get the bids in there. Come on, ratchet up a wee bit. Salak Losk-esque castle. I've spent a fortune recently. They've opened up a... Spa thing, isn't it? Yeah, but what do you call that pool where it feels like it drops off the end? I think they have a charity pool? Yeah, that's... Wow. So we've got an overnight stay. Talk to us about what's coming up in there. Yeah, so it's an overnight stay in the five-star. Well, it's a five-star, isn't it? It's the castle and includes meal and the fancy restaurant, complimentary swimming and the pool and the fitness suite and all of that. And it's going to be a magical little break for you. And it's five-star all the way. Do we have a price on that? No, at the moment, its value is circa €600. We don't have a bid on that yet.

They're probably booked out for July and August to see. I would say. Again, no. We're only launching most of these goods. God, this is great then. So there's no... Sure, throw a hundred on that. Yeah, we only mentioned... I think we only mentioned Gary and one other one. So these are all fresh bids. So this is going to be worth around €600. I've been in here before.

Is it near any popular resorts, Lee? Oh, God. Who are you trying to get at? I'm just saying, is it near any popular resorts? He's testing me in here with my pronunciations of these fancy places. I'm just asking you a simple question. No, I can't pronounce them. Is it near any popular resorts? Alicante airport. So that's close as nuts. Is it near? Come on, Torre, something. Torre-Vea? Torre-Vea, that's Italian, no. I don't know. And I'll be honest, I have a clue. Cusada, I presume it's Cusada. See if you've been here before yourself. I know Torre-Vea and I know Alicante airport. That's available in August and September How good is that? That's peak. That's peak time. That's worth around 1200 quid. We're just launching it so there's no bids. That is lot one, two, three, four. We have a bit to go. Spain. Give us a... Are you coming in with money for Mikaela? Don't come in the door unless you have money. Unless you're coming with cash. OK, that's fine. Come in with the Dosh. Come in with two nights, stay at Harvey's Point. Again, over the road from Locust. I know we should get on well. Bid on both. Spend four days together. Seriously. Bid on both of them. Spend four days. Oh, man. So you go from Salt Look-esque, nip across the road, you're in beautiful Harvey's Point. What's included, Gucci? Oh, let me see. It's two nights, bed and breakfast in the standard balcony room for two adults plus dinner and one evening in the Lakeside restaurant. Oh, my God. Nice man. I feel like you've taken me there. I hope you buy me a meal. You can do what you want then. Right, OK, so that is... So any bids on that? Were you fresh on that too, are we? Three, four, five. That's lot five. And that's a fresh. That's not... Oh, sorry, we have a bit of 200 on that. That's nice. Good start. £500. Christopher is the winning bidder at this stage. Well done, Chris. Three great charities. Good man. Now, this is an interesting one, you know. These are the guys who sponsored the Secret Soys. I know, I love it. I love it. 20 tonne of Deckard of Stone. How much is that? That's what I was trying to work. I was listening to it yesterday. That's 20 tonne bags, isn't it? How much would that cover? No, no, no. Well, you imagine a bag of coal. I've seen many bags of coal in a tonne. You do it all around the house, surely? Is this a bid? No one come in that door unless someone is bidding, please. OK, let me give a check. Oh, no checks. Cash is king. Come on, keep a coin. 20 tonne of Deckard of Stone courtesy of GMG Port Roller. Thanks, guys. They deliver it as well, Gooch. They do, and Deckard, I wonder what they spread it out for you too, with that? I think you're pushing your luck there. And we have also Sunday launch in Harvey's Point. Oh, my goodness me. OK, this is another fantastic price. They do a carvery type launch, Gooch. I know. And it is absolutely stunning. You need the day off the next day just to relax. But we have a bid on this for £160 already, thanks to Sheila. But what's on offer at Harvey's Point? What's with this everything? I love about it. I haven't been for years, right? But you go up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down. And then when you're down, you go up again. What are you on about? The food, the buffet. Do you eat as much as you want? You grace. I'd be like a Charlie Heifer. I'd never stop. Can you keep going? I don't think you can keep going back and up. I thought so, man. We're there all in music. Can you not? I'd eat as much as you want. I don't know. I think you've done it. You know, you keep going. All right, well, anyway. Can I just say this, but we can't guarantee that you can keep going up and down, up and down. Certainly we can guarantee once, Lee. You'll be fair to not put that way. All right, and their Sunday launch is inspired by the great tradition of a big family feast on Sunday. And it is absolutely delish. And last but not least, Nevin Maguire, who was on with the boys earlier on, he's got dinner for two at McNean Beestrell. McNean Restaurant and Beestrell used to be called. I'm not sure if it's changed, but anyway, it's McNean's restaurant, OK? A signed book. Yes, and as well as that. He was on with the boys as you know this morning. It was less than a week, and there's a hamper as well, and there's a piece of cutlery. And I'm sure you'll sign that as well. Did you hear that? He's mad and he has his own studio. You know that, man. It's not a piece of cutlery. A piece of cutlery is a fork. All right. So you think it's going to sign a fork? Well, you could sign the fork. I think it's like one of his saucepans. It could be a big knife. I think it's one of the saucepans he comes with on stores. I don't think it's a knife or a fork. Is it not? I'll be honest, I'd say a big pot. I love Nevin, but I'd say Nevin, you can keep the fork. I think it's going to have to be a saucepan. All right, a big pot. Right, OK, so the lines are open. Please bid, please be generous. We're going to run through them very quickly again. We'll take one each, will we? Lot one. Yeah, so it's the dinner for eight. Gary will hand it now. What can we say? We were talking up here. Seven friends, all the food and wine. Celebrity chef coming to your home, cooking for you. If you look at the party, you could have the big bulls of Nevin. It should be amazing. Oh, seven, four, nine, one, twenty-five thousand. An overnight stay in Solocluck S Castle. It's five-star. It is a castle. It includes a meal. It's a two-double-a Rosetta Cedars restaurant. You even get to use the swimming pool. Bring yourself. Oh, my goodness. OK, oh, seven, four, nine, one, twenty-five thousand. Please bid on that. Check out the website, highlandradio.com as well. Easy peasy, or call into the station, zero, seven, four, nine, one, twenty-five thousand. We've got three nights stay at the Wild Atlantic Camp, new luxury chalets, three nights enjoy for six people. Look at the party you could have there. And you can dash around Chrysler and Don Fanny have all, all the fun you ever wanted. Seven nights in a luxury four-bed villa in Spain, available in August or September. It's close to places neither me or Lee can pronounce. Alicante Airport will get you there. Cusada and Torreveja, I think it is. Oh, that's, that's, that sounds good to me. Oh, seven, four, nine, one, twenty-five thousand. Please bid generously. All right, we have two nights stay at Harvey's Point. Come on, you can start bidding now, get the money. And we want to rake as much money as we can for three great charities. Two nights, bed and breakfast in the standard, a standard balcony room for two adults. And there's dinner, and there's on the evening, one evening as well, a lakeside restaurant. Very fancy. Twenty stone of decorative stone. It's courtesy of GMG Port Road Letter, Kenny. It will be delivered this decorative stone. And you'll have to spread it yourself, I believe. Rake included, maybe not. All right. Harvey's Point, Sunday launch for four. There's an offer on that already. We'll get the bids in there. Come on, you can always put a wee sneaky offer in as well. No harm. Relax and enjoy our award-winning Sunday Calvary, inspired by the great tradition of the big family feast on a Sunday. And finally, but not least, Neva McGuire is offering you dinner for two, a signed book, a hamper and a piece of cookware, I think. And that is, you can't get into that place. Well, you can, of course. I don't want to discourage any of you. But you have to book well and once in advance. Well, you have to book well in advance. It's incredibly popular. So just to run through the bids at the moment, two grand for the Gary O'Hanlon package. We are waiting for our opening bids on the overnight stay at Solis-Locas Castle. We can also accept bids on the three-night stay in the Wild Atlantic Camp. The villa, also, get your bids in right now. Harvey's Point, there's a 200 bid in there at the moment. The stone, we're still awaiting our first bid on that, or at least it hasn't been updated on my page yet. Sunday launch for four at Harvey's Point, 160 euros on that at the moment. Oh, sorry. What? There's more. Tell us. There's a load more here. Go on. The Hamilton package. Hi. Do you have that in your suit? I do. Do you not have that? I just wonder why you bypassed that, because we have the Hamilton package in Dublin. Right, talk to me about that. It's a fabulous price, two tickets overnight stay in Dublin, which is great overnight stay, because the hotels are expensive. You can see the award-winning Hamilton at the Borgosch Theatre in Dublin. The trip includes return travel, so accommodating everything wrapped in one. I wonder about flights to Glasgow. Did you hear about that one? No, I don't have that one either. What can operate there, are you? Come on. Thanks to Donegal Airport, who supplied two return tickets to Glasgow. We have a 200 quid bid in on the flights there. To Glasgow? Have we? Good. Glasgow's great. I went to the Barris. We went there on our honeymoon, you know. We have 300, sorry, a 250 bid now on Nevin Maguire, the trip to Nevin Maguire. Damien's in on that one. Good bid. Foyze, a 250 euro voucher for Foyze. That's valued at 250 euro. That's good, working out the match there. Will you take the blame for that, Caroline? Of course I will. Thank you very much. Thank you, Barcy Boots. OK, right. I heard that. What's your say? I don't know. You always say you heard that anyway, don't you? You only let on? When the Mrs wants to. You heard that. You heard that. You're like a married couple. We are, right? Your wife. You just get on good, sometimes. Yeah. OK, let's take a break. We're going to have a quick chat to Gary O'Hanlon. Our spreadsheet is updating as we speak. Some of these are considered purchases, OK? So look, if you need to take an hour or so to think about it, to ring around the family, whatever, that's good too. We're just here to plug it and hope that you get involved and Lee, also, we've got the I Donate page running on our website, don't we? People can also, if they don't want to get involved in bidding, ooh! Tell us. It's gone up to 2,842. What? Do you remember what we said? We'd like to get through three. Yes. Please get to highlandradio.com. Keep it going. We want to get through 3,000 euro, please, because we're going to have to... My turn. We never hear the end of it. I mean, Lee, don't do something special for you. Ah, yeah, come on. We need to do the... Right, please. Because they're expecting big stuff, do you know? Well, not really, but we want to win. No. Don't we? I think people listen to mine. Oh, here. If they like us. Yeah, you're some boy. Support us. All right, let's take a break. Back in the sack. All right, cheers.

Thank you so much, Gary, in the first instance for your generosity and helping us in supporting the Irish Wheelchair Association, Jigsaw and Breast Centre North West. You've been really, really generous and we really appreciate it. Thank you so very much. My pleasure, Greg. Happy to help both. Yeah, and I mean, you could have... I don't know if you were asked to donate this, but you could have pitched an awful lot lower and still got away with it, Gary. You know, this is a fantastic prize, once in a lifetime prize. Yeah, well, one of your colleagues just sort of threw it out there to cook for a couple of people, and I said, well, listen, if I'm going to go to somebody's house and cook, I want it to be a bit of a crack as well. So I said, push it out to eat, you know, whether somebody pays for it and wants to bring a few couples and it's crack, I'd rather that than just cooking somebody dinner for two or three or four people or whatever. So I think it's a nice number. Sorry, you wouldn't have a table, please. Sorry, something's running in the background. Oh, sorry. Do you want to... Oh, that's the ad for it. Sorry, Gary, you were cut across. We were hooked into Canis here. He's just back from riding a bike down in Letter County. That's my fault, Canis. Sorry about that. And also to, like, as I say, this is a once in a lifetime experience. I'm not going to talk about finances with you, right? But if I were organizing a food festival and I wanted you to come up and spend a couple hours at that doing a demo, I think I'd need a few quitting me pockets. So that's just to give an idea to the public of what we're talking about here. We're having an internationally renowned chef coming to your home or your venue, Gary, and it really is a fabulous, fabulous prize. Oh, yeah, look, the people at Donegal have been good to me. And for many, many years and my family, I'm very proud to be from Remelton. And, you know, my own wife had breast cancer as well. And, you know, albeit we're down in Longford and we got looked after in between Dublin and hospitals around the Midlands. But, you know, they're very worthy charities. And, you know, it's nice to be nice, as the man says, you know what I mean? So, you know, the only thing I said is it's not really public knowledge, but I'm going to be the new executive chef of the K Club. And I start in the next week or week and a half. And I just, you know, probably from September, October. So I just can't commit to doing it before September, October. But anytime after that, I'll know my bearings. I'll be well settled in at the K Club. I'm over and back to Paris for another year as well, at least. But I'll know my comments and go-ons by then. So that was the only stipulation I had. The only caveat. But that's fine. Yeah. And we understand that. And that's no problem, Gary. And listen, congratulations, by the way. I know you were looking at different options because we spoke to him in the past. But what a gig the K Club. Yeah. A world branch place. I love the place too. And I'm mad about golf. I've always loved the K Club. I golfed there with Mark Moriarty, another chef you might see in RTA. Good, but he's a fine golfer. And yeah, it just was good timing. Domain's not having to drive the Dublin. It's a huge role. And it was just good timing. Did you negotiate a membership as part of the package? Ah, yeah. Good, man. Bye. That's the done-it-all coming out. Yeah. Listen, Gary. Thank you so very much. Yeah, I'll put some of that saved money towards the dinner, you know? Exactly. Listen, thank you so very much. And congratulations on your new appointment. And thank you so much for being such a good sport and being so generous with your time and efforts. Thank you, Gary. Take care, Lee. That's all right. Isn't this good crack, isn't it? Thought about making fun of him. Sorry. He's mighty, isn't he? Yeah. I always thought that I was the steady tiller on... I thought I was the steady tiller at the hand on the steady tiller. What do you mean a steady tiller? It's... When you keep it to the tiller, it's the back of a boat. Right. You know, and it's just saying. All right, okay. A steady hand on the tiller. Yeah. Right. I don't know where it comes from. Maybe the Titanic or something along those lines. But that's great for Gary, isn't it? But anyway, thanks very much for digging me out of that technical hole. I don't know, no bother. All right, I think we've got some updates on... What have we got now? What have we got for the dinner for eight? Because that's Gary O'Hanlon. He's an amazing guy. We're not there yet. Have we kind of refreshed it? So we have the overnight stay in the... Spreadsheet. Okay. Go on ahead there. No, you be the professional. Go on. We have an overnight... No, so we've got the dinner for eight and you heard Gary there. So how cool is that? Okay, in Paris. And he's going to be in your house. And he says after September, time for us. Two and a half grand. We've got two and a half grand on that right now. Oh, God. So that's... But imagine... Sorry, it's just popped up to 2,700 euro. Oh, my God. So you're going to have the K Club, the head of the K Club. Imagine. Mate, this is the update in life. This is cool. Salasloskech. Lokesque, yeah. Overnight stay. Yeah, what have we got? 200 quid. Shaun's in with 200 quid. Cheapest chip, Shaun. Hope you get it, we've got 300 quid at the end so it's there. What's next? You call what's next. We've got three nights stay at the Wild Atlantic Campus. 420 quid the leading bid at the moment for Mary. Now we're talking money. Now we're sucking diesel. Now what about the villa in Spain for seven days? 300 bid. Cheapest chips. Michael is in on that. Michael, if you get that. We've got three quid. We're all coming, Michael. We're all coming. Two nights stay at Harvey's Point. What have we got? We have a 200 euro bid in on that. Chris, fair play to you. Good stuff. 20 tonne decorative stone. Well, I'll tell you, the bidding's going crazy on this. I went to 100, 200, 300. Michael, it's with you at 300 and 50 euro. That's still half of what it's actually worth. Fair play to you. So we're doing fantastic there. Harvey's Point, Sunday launch for four. Sheila's in 160 euro, Sheila. If your name is on it at the moment. All right, so you can bid on HighlandRadio.com or call into the station 0749125,000. You've got the Highland Radio trip to Hamilton in Dublin. Now this does include accommodation as well and the trip return travel as well. So what are we sitting at on now? Well, we didn't really plug that one very well. So we're still there for the ticket. So we've got a package for two to go and see Hamilton, which is an amazing show. As Lee said, overnight stay and tickets to the show. Get your bids in now 0749120. That's worth 1,000. That's worth 1,000. Because accommodation and Dublin's expensive. That's worth 5,000. The next one was? Flight to Glasgow. Thanks to Donnie Gull Airport. Return two tickets to Glasgow. Shaun's in at 200 on that one. That's the latest bid there. The next one, Gucci. This is the big E. Hold on, your second last. What are you saying? We've just had a big, big bid. Popped it on this one. Go on, tell who. What's the prize for us? Well, it's a voucher for two for Nevermiguire's restaurant. It's dinner for two to sign book and a sample. And as you know, you can't book this place at least a few months. And a signed fork. And a signed... No, I think it's a spoon. Cutlery, it says here. And I have some forks and spoons. There's Arshene. She's coming in with money. Arshene, come on. 1,500 Euro is the bid on that from Theresa. Can you up that show? That's it. That's good. This is amazing. It just pops in. This is lovely. This is amazing. See Gary's? 2,700. Gary's, let's go. Well, I'll get that. 3,500. Gary's going to 3,500. What? 3,500. 3,500. We'll come back to that in a sec. Lovely. The voucher for Foy's, which again, we didn't give a proper mention to. Yes. This is a 250 Euro voucher. I don't need to remind you how useful this is around the house or whatever it might be. But you just do painting everything down there. It's worth 250. We've nothing in. Gary O'Hanlon. We have Teresa in 3,500 Euro. Wow. Teresa, thank you so much. And it's the charities that are benefiting again. Talk to me. We've got the Irish Wheelchair Association, Jigsaw and Breast Centre North West. So thank you so much to everybody that's helping, bidding. It's an open day here. We're celebrating their birthday and we want to do it in style and we want to help. This has gone way, way, way past my expectations already. By the way, folks, if some of the money is a little bit rich and a lot of us would struggle to find the money our generous listeners had so far, you can donate a five or 10 or 15, 20 Euro on our website, HighlandRadio.com. You'll see the I Donate button there. We're at 2,872. There's a bit of a lag in that updating. But, Gooch, wouldn't it be wonderful if we got over three in this hour? Three. We're handing the baton on there. We're handing the baton on to get them over three. There's a lot of money donated there. Thanks, Gossum. Anon, Sheamus, Brenda, Breed, Mary, Nicola, Gretti. I'm not reading their full names because they might not have, they might not want me to. I just want to recognize the generosity there. Do you know how we have these lovely big prizes and lots and stuff for the auction? But a small donation of a couple of Euros, three Euros, five Euros, 10 Euros, whatever you can afford is going to be going to our three charities, which is going to be great. Irish Wheelchair Association, Jigsaw, Breast Centre, North West, go along to I Donate. Just the handiest way is call into the station, you can make a donation, pass in and get a cup of tea and a bunch of... Oh, yeah. See, this is another thing too. The doors are open. Swing in. Oh, 2,942. We're up to 2,942 folks on our I Donate page. Catherine, Marion, thank you. As I say, it's taken a little while for them to refresh. Yous are so generous, OK? This money, you were saying it there, the Irish Wheelchair Association, they need a new bus. They need to do other stuff. Jigsaw needs to be able to continue to help our young people in the way that they're doing it. And Breast, Cancer, North West, we spoke to a lovely lady there the other day. They help when you need the help and they know the help that you need. And you never know when you're going to need these services yourself or your family circles. So it's nice to be able to be in a position to give a little, isn't it? OK. Or give a lot. All right, OK. So this is the kind of thing we softly mentioned a couple of days ago too, that there's a coffee morning here, right? But please call in. It runs from 10 to 12. But call in after 12. You know, run it to 12 to 1 for 10 to 1, I would say. We've got tea, coffee, bonds, biscuits, cakes. The kitchen's loaded out there. Exactly. So please call up and say hello to us. We'd have loved you have come up in time to come in and say hello to us here on air. But we've got loads to get through, Gooch. We're going to do a break. We're going to do another run-through of where we're at with the lots. I'm refreshing here to see we're, at the moment, we're 58 short of reaching our self-imposed three grand target. And we're going to keep this going throughout the course of the day. But me and Gooch sort of want all of the plaudits, the praise, the love, the adoration. Listen to him. Good, and maybe you're... It's not true. Lee, come here. Talk to me very briefly about your trousers, because Lee was upstairs. Yeah. And Lee, a lot of grown-up men... A lot of grown-up men, what we do is the zips and buttons at the front of trousers. The buttons are the worst. I hate the buttons. But as you get a bit older and Hodson's almost at this stage now... He's three. What we do is, right, without getting into the nitty gritties of it, you don't have to pull your trousers all the way down. But Lee's still wee-wees by pulling his trousers down around his knees, which is cute, right? Yeah, yeah. But you spotted something on your trousers. Yeah. See, I bought these trousers, right? Can I show? Yeah, go back a bit, though, because they're quite... They're salmon pink. I only wore these trousers twice. Might never wear them again in special equations. But they've been in, and I bought them cheap. They had a yellow sticker on them. You know where I buy my trousers now, right? I had the nerve to wear them. But I was doing what you do. They look great, by the way. They're very nice, thank you. But down in here, there's a label that says you're going to have... So if you open the buttons at the top and you open them out, there's a message that you can see as you pull them up. Yeah, so it says you're going to have a good day. Or today is a good day. And today is a good day because we're raising money for three great charities, and it's our birthday, and everybody's involved. Right, we're going to head down to the Letterkenny Shopping Centre very, very shortly, because we are going to see what's happening. John Breslin is down there now. He's going to pick up... He's going to join us to talk about how things are going there. Me and Gooch, you're going to be down there after 12 on the bikes. And then Oshin Kelly has to come in as well, too, at some point to talk to us. But he's flat out with the bids, which is fantastic. That's great. So let's take this break because I need to stay on top of that, don't we, Lee? Yeah, of course. We need to be good boys. So we're going to take this break and then we'll be right back. All right.

No, I'm looking at all this money coming in. You said he could sing. Are you singing today? You're paying pay. Are you singing? What song would you sing? Dennis Barry. No, he has to sing because someone's donated two hundred quid for him to sing. I'm going to say who it is. Dennis Barry. You know, Dennis. Your body, Dennis. Yeah. There's no sense that boy. He's offered two hundred for you to sing. It's a long song. I know. I'm not. I know. It's going to be a person or chorus of Halls of donning all. Hold on. Dennis. No, I was only. What's his name?

Thank you, folks at GMG. Harvey's Point, Sunday launch for four. Sheila could nick this one for 160, you know. Oh, shit. She's like, that's... Yeah, she remains the top bidder. Go ahead.

So, flights to Glasgow, right? 200 quid, Sean, still in on that one. Well, what about this one then? A voucher for two for Nevermiguire's restaurant? And all the goodies? 1500 euro.

Yeah, we have the 250 euro voucher, and you know, foies do all the furnishings to do, paint to do everything basically. Margaret's looking to... Marion, sorry, is looking to nick that one for 150. Oh, dear, good night. Craig, can I just say we were out taking bids and the generosity has been amazing. And particularly from businesses in the Northwest who have called up during the auction to say they wanted to add an item to the auction, or they wanted to give a voucher to give away, which is very, very generous. It's amazing, but unfortunately, we have so much stuff to give away over the course of the electric vouchers that we can't actually accept any more. We do thank you for your offer, but if you would like to kindly donate, you can. That's what I was going to say. Do you want somebody to say, like, somebody says, I'll give you 100 euro voucher. We, like, Austin just says, thank you so much. This is not entertaining. I'm sorry, but this is supposed to be entertaining. You're not entertaining me. Oh, how are you, Tom? No, man. He's being boring. Look, Austin's being boring. Lee, you're just backing him boring. How do you want to stay there? I'm going to have 29 o'clock. Have a country show to do with 100, too. Oh, that will be country. All right. Have a country show. And he's going to sing as well. What a mystery. I actually never get back to us. Come on, Dennis. What's the story, man? Dennis, what does he have to... Oh, let me see. I want to go back to the... But what I was saying, Austin, the 100 euro. We'll see if somebody's going to say that. I'll give you that. We're through the three grand. 3,102. There's a lag on that. Tara, thank you so very much for helping me and Lee having some bragging rights. Winifred, very, very generous of you. Ann, you're so bloody generous. Thank you. Another Ann as well, although the second Ann doesn't use an E. So she's thrifty. Do you not have the same name for... Clap on that. Sound effects. Moia, thank you so much, dear. Mary and Anon and Claire. And Anon, it goes, we got through the three grand, Gooch. Amazing. Come here, do you want me to phone Dennis Ferry on the hoof? Yes, get him. I'll see you in here now. Because I need to hear... So if Dennis Ferry, your phone's going to ring your live on how to radio. That's fine. I'll see you here now. See you now. So, yeah, so what I was trying to... Was that a speaker? Jesus Christ. Your tongue. Dennis. Hello, Dennis. Yes. It's Greg Hughes here in Lee Gooch, your live on the radio. How are you getting on? Not so bad. I'm a good man, Lee. Just wanted to say good morning. Yeah, Dennis, come here. We were just double checking. You would donate in 200 quid for Ashene to sing Hills of Donegal. He says it was for a verse and a chorus. I presume you want the whole song for 200? She's not even a whole song. Yeah, you'd want the whole song, wouldn't you? I would. No, she knows that. Right. The version that I have when he does a chorus and a verse? No, no, no. Dennis. You text me a quarter seven this morning. And Dennis, it's 200 you offered for that, wasn't it? It's 200. 200. Good man. All right, so you need the full song. Listen, thanks very much, Dennis, for clarifying that. Gooch, he's your mate, say hello to him. Yeah, thanks, Dennis, for that. Sorry for catching you on the hoof. Come here. Mavane needs a test, right? Can I book it in? Yeah, I'd like to send it out. All right, good thing. Take it to Balyshamer. They're handy down there. Balyshamer's a bit far to go. I'll get it. Dennis is the only donor. Thanks, Dennis. Love you, man. I'm not about getting it prepared for the test. Just to put it through the test. John Breslin is with us. By the way, that's entertainment with Snula Rabbits coming up very, very shortly, OK? But we are just going to cross down to the Letter County Shopping Centre. John Breslin's down there. What is the buzz? What's the crack, as the kids say? Well, there is a real buzz down here because there's three bicycles. I thought there would just be two spin bikes set up, but there's actually three bikes set up because there's two gyms or cycling clubs. I started going at the one time, not necessarily head-to-head. They're all trying to see who can go furthest, furthest, furthest in 30 minutes. So the fit wheelers are on Brian McElhaney's on the bike at the minute. And then over on the other side, it is the Radisson Blue at Sear Gym. And the boss man, actually, Paul Byrne, is on there cycling the bit out. So all these groups and organisations are going for a prize. And they've all donated money, but it says who can get the best distance done within a half an hour and will know that at the end of the day. Meanwhile, behind me, yeah, Jean. Jean is head-to-head. That's Jean Curran, isn't it? That is Jean Curran. Wow, OK, she's flat-head. Hi, Jane. She's so focused. She's unbelievably focused. So she's doing her bit for Helen at the moment. And then Joe Duffy's up shortly and everybody's sort of taking their turn. We're going to be down after 12. Brilliant stuff. John, we'll be back for an update soon. Anything else you need to tell us? Yeah, I don't know. I've been told here, unofficially, it's just over 6,000 because there's been other donations, big donations pledged here. So it's maybe three on the app or on the website, but it's actually over six grand for real. And I think that's it for the moment. Thanks, John. Yeah, come back to us later on. Keep it right. Thank you very much indeed. OK, see, I told you it would already be beginning. I see that. The road beginning, you know. I'm going to get wind up. Right, OK. We are going to make space for the crew in a minute, but I'm taking the news time because we're going to go... If anyone wants... OK, if anyone wants to... If anyone wants to... What was I going to say? Oh, yeah. Brendan DeVenney's down there too. Heard of the app that he used to have. Well, he offered a space text and two. But is someone going to nominate his song for him? Someone... Well, please, someone listen. He's well connected. Kieran Brogan. You've got a few, Bob. Kieran, I know you're already being very friend... Very generous. Kieran, get the checkbook. Pay a couple... Pay a couple... No, pay a few. Pay a few. State Unis G8 Club. He got a new hip for you guys. Donate. Go... Finn Harps. He even tried with you. Oh, you're... International rules. Come on, Daddy. So, couple hundred quid for him to sing a song. What do you think? I don't think that's a problem. Five hundred. There's a five hundred for Brendan DeVenney there. Who gives a hit for a club? We'll get him singing in the bait because he's on the bait too. Right, OK. Listen, we're going to make way very shortly. What time is Oshin Kelly's country jambriana? It's the country boys. Yeah. It's your part of it. It's 2.30. 2.30? 2.30. OK. We're going at the dentist time. Yeah. 2.30. Right, yeah. 2.30. Oh, 2.30. Oh, 2.30. Oh, 2.30. Oh, 2.30. God, he's so, like, you know... A bit changeable show. All right, then. Listen, lads. Right, we're going to do one more quick run-through where we are at. So, you run through the list there, please. Right, so we have dinner for eight. Gario Hammond, right? 4,000 euros. You're joking. An anonymous bidder has bid 4,000 euros. Yes. That is going to go...

Guy, kind of guy. I guess I was wrong. I just don't belong. But I... He's not bad. He's good. But no, I'm not. That's all I've got. But no one's done. I'm going to do the crowd pleaser. I don't have a mate who... Do you know that we're holding up the boss here? Right, let's go. But I skipped the news. It's a birthday party. Yeah, but I skipped the news. So I took the news. Yeah.
