 On Monday it's the 9 till noon show now. Our Friday panel will be joining us very shortly discussing some of the big stories of the week. We want you to have your say. I'll tell you how after we get the latest news headlines now from Daniel Brennan. Good morning Daniel. Morning Greg. Donal Deputy Thomas Pringle has again called for a public inquiry into sexual abuse and a residential centre for disabled adults in Dunleagol. His calls come as the HSE has confirmed it shared the validation report which uncovered further abuse at our granular court in Sturnorla with Gardie. The report contains information on abuse against residents at the facility carried out by 11 other residents between 1991 and 2002. In a statement the HSE says they'll meet with Gardie once they've considered the report. In the Dunleagol yesterday Deputy Pringle renewed his calls for a public inquiry and the Disabilities Minister Ann Roberts confirmed the communication between herself and the HSE on the matter is now ongoing. I know that some families were only to find out this week so will your government now ensure that there is a fully independent public inquiry into the management of disability services in Dunleagol and nationally as a matter of urgency. Just earlier to have a meeting with HSE to bring the up-to-date on that validation report I've sought further information which they're coming back to me in the next 10 days and I'll keep the house updated. A US cross-party committee has criticised the British government's plans to overturn parts of the Northern Ireland protocol. The ad hoc committee to protect the Good Friday Agreement has called on US President Joe Biden to use all diplomatic tools to suspend any talks in a trade agreement with Britain until the bill to rip up parts of the protocol is rescinded. The committee adds that the UK government is acting in bad faith while agreeing with T-Shop meal Martin that the bill is a fundamental breach of trust. Ukraine will find out today if the European Commission supports its bid to become a candidate to join the EU. The Commission will give its opinion later but the final decision on Ukraine's entry to the EU will be made at the European Union Summit of national leaders next week. This comes as the head of the UK's Armed Forces says Russia has already strategically lost its war in Ukraine. And finally a warning is going out to all drivers and young people in particular not to take risks ahead of this weekend's Dunleagol International rally. The Dunleagol Road Safety Working Group says there is a minority of people attending the rally this weekend that are driving dangerously unlike what they call the majority who are true motorsport fans that attend these events. Dunleagol County Council's Road Safety Officer Brian O'Donnell says local communities do not want to see dangerous driving and disruption this weekend. There is a cohort that attend the rally event in Dunleagol and they have attended for the last number of years even though there hasn't been a rally especially last year taking place they attended and they cross a lot of disruption to the local communities here in Dunleagol especially around the Liddiken area and it's unwelcome and it's not wanted. That's all from the news desk for now we'll have news and fall coming up at 10 o'clock until then good morning. Can I get two specials please one sourdough and Caesar salad and by the way I'm 12 weeks pregnant. We don't always know who's at risk from COVID-19 and other viruses but we do know how to protect them keep hands clean and wear a mask let fresh air in get vaccinated and stay at home if you are unwell from the HSC for us all.

Greg good morning it's good to have you on thanks for inviting me on to the show today. No it's good to have you on also Brie Corrin sister Brie welcome back nice to see you. Good morning how are you? Good to have you with us and last but not least Maria Rush of the S1 blog and manager at Rush Fitness Maria good morning to you. Good morning Greg how are you all? I'm doing good we're all doing good I think okay listen let's get straight into it because yesterday and it's become sort of a weekly event when Tonnister Leo Veradkar takes leaders questions will Tonnister Leo Veradkar and Sinn Fein's Pierce Doherty have locked horns again in the doll I don't think they like each other you know deputy Doherty highlighted the ongoing guard investigation into the Tonnister with Leo Veradkar hitting back dragging up a little known 23 year old court appearance involving deputy Doherty for minor breach of the peace following an exchange with a guard and now we learned today that Finnegellas would compile a secret dossier detailing political damaging information about Sinn Fein so dealing with the first matter first is this just the general rough and tumble of politics I'll start with you Marie or did either deputy Veradkar or indeed deputy Pierce Doherty go too far? Good question to start things off isn't it? It's I suppose politics is always going to be as you said it's rough and tumble I think you have to have a very very thick skin to go into that arena in first place but when it goes beyond you know I think the last few days has really turned into people are referring to it as playground antics but when I was a teacher for 21 years and I didn't see such a playground you know I think they have kind of gone to the point where the conversation tends to turn to be an attack on each other as opposed to actually dealing with what needs dealt I mean deputy already asked about you know poverty and all the different issues that are happening today and it was turned back on him as a personal attack as you said about something that happened 24 years ago but in fairness he brought up the DPP considering this guard a file and I think there's a bit of a consensus that the DPP probably won't seek to progress this so you know in the context of raising the real issues of the day he probably fired the first shot in bringing up that but I mean that's current and Pierce Doherty's situation is sort of historic I don't know I know but carry on with your point Marie. I just think if we were as adults in the professional world if we're all to go back and have every single thing we've done in the past you know as you said in your post last night Greg who doesn't have who didn't make mistakes in their 20s and I'm not condoning any anybody's behavior but I do think that I just I would love to just hear our politicians dealing with what needs dealt with instead of throwing cheap shots at each other across the dial you know it's getting to the point where in the current situation that we're in it's time to just fix what's happening on the ground and stop you know what Lincoln called democracy of the people for the people by the people and at the minute I feel in this country it's all the parties by the party for the party it's it's not you know when when are we going to get to the point of just getting to work and stopping this cheap shots I mean even that that what's come out this morning there's independent about a dossier of you know things to use how much energy and effort goes into that yeah well there was other there was another TD involved in that situation 23 years ago that wasn't mentioned so presumably they're keeping the powder dry on that one Breed I'll ask you next if that's okay what do you think absolutely I couldn't agree more with Maria I think people are just absolutely fed up with this nonsense at this stage when two elephants fight the only thing that gets trampled is the grass around them and we the people are suffering because these guys obviously have very very personal issues with each other I quote Michelle Obama when they go low we go high and this secret dossier this 18 page secret dossier that Finnegale have allegedly compiled that's the rock that they perish on because anyone who comes to the door looking for a vote and are going to have to be mindful of the fact that people are really really struggling and suffering at the minute and instead what we've got are two children playing out this sort of antics in the door at the moment people don't want to hear that people I mean in shorthand this was like well your party is flying all over the world well you're being investigated by Guardi well you were in court when you were 21 what the hell's that got to do with anything absolutely absolutely nothing and as far as I I recall Pierce Sturford he got the benefit of the probation act in relation to that there was a conviction recorded the facts were found to be proven he got the benefit of the probation act it was when he was 21 and as Maria has said if we were all to look at things that we did when we were in our 20s God bless us and save us I don't even want to go there and but the problem here is the price for these cheap shots is disillusionment with government disillusionment with political parties and I would really really if I were sitting in a room with Lee over at her and the the the um management with regards to Finnegale I'd be saying this 18 page dossier forget it people are not going to thank you for it in fact people are going to you're going to suffer at the polls in relation to it you also have to remember Sinn Fein are going to be in for an almighty shock when they do get into power because it's not it's very easy to sit on the ditch it's very easy to be Pierce Sturfordy at the minute and criticize criticize criticize but when you're in power you have difficult decisions to make and I think that's the tack that Finnegale and Finnefall and the Green Party need to take at the moment instead of these these personal attacks and this so-called dossier fight them in the trenches with regards to policies and decisions with regards to day-to-day issues that people have not this nonsense of well you know he did this when he was 21 and you shouldn't be standing up here criticizing me because you're not as you know as as white as as you're making out to be people don't want to hear that people want to know what are they doing with regards to cost of living what are they doing because it would feel that maybe there's both parties are somewhat tone deaf on that as well because I was expecting but I wasn't expecting the criticism of that exchange was equal against now the content maybe people were a little bit more peed off or didn't like way where Lee over I call went but in terms of this shouting in the door which is a weekly occurrence now the people don't seem to seem to want that but we'll talk more about that because that that will lead us into the next general election I suppose I want Barry Swedes views as a Finnegale councillor of course but he's got his own mind of course as well Barry what do you think of of of yesterday's exchange yeah I had a look at the exchanges yesterday and you know unfortunately this is what has become part of politics nowadays and to a degree it has always been there you know but the tit for tat stuff that's going on now is a distraction and it's a waste of energy I believe an awful lot of it is manufactured you know because the difference between now and a good old-fashioned argument years ago is now you've got social media and I believe that the performance and circus that is in the dole of times is specifically designed for social media and to get as many hits together many people talking on radio shows about about the antics that went on the day before and you know there are clips taken from the these conversations and debates so we call them in in the all they're clipped to sooth they're put out in social media there's lots of hits people like that you know people feeding that into that and you know when we do say like yesterday Finnegale clipped it themselves and they included a term used by Leo Veracar in which he says that Sinn Fein was supported by vagabonds in caravans now obviously that was prescripted to some extent and then it was clipped and put out on the social media just in the fashion that you're talking about Sinn Fein her accent at that as well by the way yeah I mean who would have clipped that or put it out you know because I think that was the Finnegale press office did it right because like I think the vagabonds in caravans thing you know nobody should be judgmental like that as to who that person was you know he died in the caravan he left four million euro to Sinn Fein and I don't know that man who he was of what what kind of a person he was but nobody deserves I think the comment is kind of based on the fact that a lot of us don't because it gets us looking it gets us interested goes what didn't know that so you know there's some strategy so would you like to see your party move away from that to take the Michelle Obama approach if you feel the opposition is going high or your opposition is going low sorry you go high yeah to be honest I don't think you know our party needs to go low and there are you know there are many very good positive things that we can be talking about but you you know I think at times maybe like yesterday so you get dragged down to responding in that way you know it's it's it's a lot I know like Pierce Pierce and Leo like it takes two to tango Pierce has given plenty to Leo over the years in the past and it's a reaction from Leo you know and as I say it takes two to tango but I certainly don't see them dancing passionately together around the floor of the doll anytime soon. Breed this is clearly going to be I think in the next general election it's going to be a dogfight between two parties Finnegale and and Sinn Fein they're probably both acutely aware of that I don't think maybe they are as aware of how big a turnoff this is to the majority of the public you will get those entrenched in Sinn Fein that will back Pierce to RG 100% you'll get those entrenched in Finnegale that think Leo Veracoff finally you know started you know getting down and dirty but the people in the middle the floaters the undecided those who might this is a complete turnoff oh absolutely people don't want to listen to this nonsense people want you know I mean the Irish people are very engaged we listen to the radio we listen to the news we want to be engaged with regards to issues that are affecting this we don't want to listen to this nonsense and I would hope that someone will take the political parties aside and say to them this is not what people want they learn soon enough and I really do think that they need to start listening more and last night I got the impression that there were certain back bench Finnegale TDs who were delighted that Radker had landed a punch you know when you go to the doors I mean you go to the people asking they're not going to care whether you're you're tarnished or landed a punch on Pierce Daherty what they care about is whether they have their cost of living issues dealt with and we're going to be focusing on that it's worrying Marie is it not and listen we might be proved wrong down the road but that whatever what we're all going through everyone is going through that that the people in the door seem a little bit out of touch they don't seem to maybe understand precisely what's going on because if they did someone would have said hall on you right we need we need to get this we need to get this situation sorted this is not the time for this type of exchange you know what I mean that would be I think a leadership thing to do and I can come from the opposition as well by the way not not just going to go you've hit another nail in the head there Greg with the word time I mean they're about to break up for the summer and all the conversation at the minute that I'm listening to this week about you know dealing with this cost of living crisis and emergency measures being brought in and then you have him and Ryan saying nothing's going to change about things until October and then even with the budget in October it's usually January before things actually are implemented so where we really ask and the person who's living at the minute with no feel allowance wanting to put on the heating and not been able to afford it are we really going to ask them to wait until January until somebody decides to do something and I do you find that yeah there's a definitely a disconnect of course there's a disconnect I do think that most people that go into politics go into it with the right intentions at the start you know I mean the councillor's been ill probably agree with me here that you don't most people are going in because they want to make change they want to help the people around them who live in their communities who are living beside them working beside them you know socializing beside them in the real world and then of course when that journey continues on into the dial and kind of national politics there of course and parties as well there does have to be a tone tone the line and all that carry on was on so I do wonder how often people find themselves moving away from their initial intention in politics you know wanting to make a change but then being very very restricted by the by the bureaucracy around them that's just the reality of it but for those of you know those of us who are on the ground working and who are spending those bills coming in at the minute and looking at the price of a bag of coal going up and up and up and up and I don't know about you guys but I'm considering at the minute how many journeys are taken in the car because I haven't bought a bag of coal since February it's the gods honest truth but that's the reality and you know I don't want to hear the politicians that have been paid hundreds of thousands of euro to do work for us I don't want to hear them fighting about who got the best punch in each other I want them to do some bloody work I want them to get things done you know I want them to look after me Andy over the road he's not able to afford to buy more coal I want them to look after the kids doing exams I want them to look after the people who are dealing homelessness in the country we've so many issues and of course there's no there is no quick fix and Greg I've been on with you before and have you always used the phrase and I use it all the time there's two sides to every story and the truth is somewhere in the middle but in politics at the minute there's two sides and in the middle nothing's happened you know so there's definitely change needed you know I mean Barry you know yourself the council does its best work when it just gets on with it doesn't it I mean you know and and also too I've seen it myself in lots of different environments if there's no one there to report it the rows generally don't happen do you know what I mean like the public we need to get more people voting in the never and not to be switching voters off yeah like I think what's important you said it there when there's no messing about to get the work done but what we are talking about today is something that happened over the course of a few minutes within a full day and this is what's making the headlines you see this is this is what we're talking about today there was obviously a whole lot of more stuff that was talked about and discussed but I'm not cutting across you Barry but that was not by accident that was by design this is the the focal point the leaders questions is the focal point and both of the gentlemen involved there they were going for the headlines and with a great deal of success do you know what I mean so it's they that have taken our eyes off the the rest of the day's work at the door it's not us but it's unfortunate that that is the way it's gone to get the clicks and to get the you know to get the headlines and that's that's what I believe it is that that sort of nonsense is there and what we really should be doing is focusing on the future you know I know it's important to know about the past it's important to to get to know our politicians and and make an informed decision as to who we really trust and that we really put our faith in to to represent us as politicians you know going forward I think that's really important that we need to know the past but we need to we need to look at the future I just think sometimes you need to look at the past to look towards the future because like I can think of a couple of characters uh historically that were leaders of this country that's done an awful lot worse than any current politicians have had and when people piled on them a lot of the Irish people came to their defence you know I'm thinking maybe the likes of Bertie Hernd people were ardent in the defence of him so we kind of I think we actually get more protective of people if we feel they're being you know trodden down sometimes Breed what about this in terms of you know like if we do go down this road of dragging up historical instances I mean is it disrespectful to the courts is it in any way disrespectful to the process you know a judge made a decision he determined that maybe if these guys wanted to go to America or whatever that he didn't think this was a this was an obvious significance to like is this I'm just wondering what this means sort of if we start going down this road what it means to you know maybe you're right to be forgotten or whatever it is it's all seems just a bit messy to me when we start doing this stuff oh absolutely I mean the probation act was there and is designed and is there for years at this stage in relation to minor offences and it was a minor offence it was a public order offence where a person who the court decides needs an opportunity or needs a chance and obviously anyone with with a criminal conviction would have difficulty in the future there is also then the spent the spent legislation in relation to all offences that after a certain period of time is passed for minor offences and minor road traffic offences that they can be wiped that you don't have to disclose them if you're for example you know getting guard the vetting or whatever and but you know I mean and Maria made the point there are those of us who in our 20s did things on nights out they were just you know daft I remember what one stage did in a poster from from from a nightclub and go bring it home and put it up on the wall of the flat I was living in I mean so we do that so we go round the table now and see what we'll admit to Barry I'm sure you left for Gallagher first of all with a traffic cone on your head absolutely I'm squeaky clean squeaky clean I do I do remember throwing an egg at a girl that I've always regretted on Halloween night along many years all right well very well finally Grania four years on Grania on Facebook says too much emphasis on one minute to exchange in the doll and the reason I wanted to talk about this is because I agree with what on the Facebook what Grania's saying but I wanted to talk about it more about where we're going politically and maybe you know what our huge price for all of this stuff yeah and what they think of what we think's important to us because we're heading towards an election and and you know this could set the tone for for that running so that's why we dedicated so much time to it thank you Breed thank you very much also to Barry and Marie we'll hear much more from them now we're going to talk about the cost of living a real issue that

greg leo went too far i think it's disgraceful did leo never make a mistake when he can't get the better of shin fane he slings mud another this is all a stage act for the public people who believe this have an awful lot to learn about politics and other pierce was not elected representative at the time leo was in a position of power and that court believes he misused that position another i'm not a supporter of shin fane never have been and never will be but veracal was totally wrong in bringing up something that happened to a young man over 30 years ago well he's younger than that it wasn't 30 years ago but i take your point there's no possible way that leo can ever be t-shock again after his attacks on the shin fane party yesterday i don't mean pierce doherty mentioned shin fane several times does if you get how many finnegale deputies were convicted of offences in the past deputies doherty says another was putting the cost of living toward the ruling party he said finnegale had a lavish party and it's ignoring the cost of living anyway shin fane is not in power and the rebuttal to that though was that leo forad car says mary lou mcdonald was flying around the world at first class and was due to fly first class to australia soon leo forad car says a caller can't hide his contempt for pierce doherty you only have to look at his face he's seething forad car really just loses it not fit to be the leader of his party never mind going to be our t-shock again 16-piece dossier on dirt about people is disgusting but seems to be par for the course with leo forad car before we move on to the cost of living by just a word as a sort of a rank and file finnegale leo forad car would have your full support would he he would look at he would you know as i said before the little things we hear the spats online and on what he did yesterday i don't believe was the right thing to do and you know i suppose people can lose their lose their cool every so often i think that's the case of what it was you know and you know you have to look at the good things that are done alongside you know the things the mistakes and after you know so yeah i look at i think he's he's a very good guy and he's doing his best in a very challenging situation and as you know as maria said earlier on or no sorry reed said earlier on and it was you know it's easy to shout from the sidelines and we're facing extremely challenging times with all these external scenarios and courses you know so we we we let's talk about that now because of course you know when you're on the pitch you have to play as well don't you barry we all know about the cost of living crisis in britain for example the government will send directly to around eight million households a one-off cost of living payment of 650 pounds direct to people's banks all domestic energy customers in britain will receive a 400 pound grant to help with the cost of their energy bills there's 150 pounds tax rebate for those struggling there's an extra 300 pounds pensioner cost of living payment 150 pounds disability cost of living payment and other measures measures that i don't have time to read out in ireland we had that 200 euro energy credit there was 125 extra for fuel allowance as well a further 100 special payment for fuel allowance recipients a cut of 20 cent for every litre of petrol 15 cent for diesel vat on gas and electricity from eight october was cut transport ferries public transport ferries cut by 20 percent and the five nine percent vat rate for tourism and hospitality was extended into 2023 breed the government has ruled out well it kind of has ruled out it says nothing's off the table but it seems to have ruled out any further interventions between now and the budget they say their focus is on the budget when you see what's happening in britain and elsewhere you know they are on the pitch they're not in the ditch we know there's billions there that they didn't expect to have why aren't they spending it should they be spending it helping the most needy be they unemployed or those working who are are now really struggling i hope i'm wrong but i get the distinct impression that this government is waiting just to see how bad it will get and i really hope i'm wrong in that and i was thinking about the reduction in egg size duty on fuel a couple of months ago where it was getting very very close to two euro a litre and they reduced it and then suddenly three months later it's back up and beyond two euros a litre and i think they're a little bit stung by that because they were under pressure to do something they did something and regardless of the measures that they took in it it's the price of diesel and petrol still increased which has by the way led to what led to a a bumper windfall of that off the fuel because as the fuel price increases i think they've got an extra 300 million uh in march so go ahead so i hope i'm wrong i hope i i hope they will bring in interim measures because things are needed now as maria says it's not next year when we need assistance it's now so i'm i'm hoping i'm wrong in that what they do really need to do is target those who really need assistance so i think they need to look at the squeeze middle and they need to look at those on social welfare completely differently they need to target those who are on social welfare by giving them a one-off payment as barris has done in the uk they need to look at increased fuel allowances and they need to target those uh that sector in that particular way in relation to the squeeze middle they definitely need to do something there in relation to those who are really struggling and i think the e or si have said that the best way to deal with that is to give a reduction in income tax and p or si and and that needs to be dealt with sooner rather than later why would that not happen though sooner because as i say uh there's a number of bodies that have said that there's billions there uh the six billion more uh in a tax take than they were expecting um and we know there are people struggling you only have to well we only have to speak to yourself for two people around you but st vincent de paul the the letter county food banking etc yeah why would uh why would i hope i'm wrong but i genuinely believe that they're waiting to see just how bad this would get um whereas i think what they really need to do is sit down and just grab the ball by the it's it's a very fine line and of course if they if they get this wrong they could risk further inflation i mean it's it's a double-edged sword i mean giving too much um and and and making payments to too many could risk inflation increasing further so it is a very very it's a it's it's a high wire at the two the two headline one so far uh the the reduction in excise that's going to benefit those perhaps who travel more with bigger cars with rural areas yeah yeah but those i think with with more money probably benefit from that the the electricity one too that was for absolutely everyone you know why give that money to people that can comfortably pay their electricity bills absolutely and that's what i'm saying any further payments have to be more specifically targeted towards those of social welfare maria maria come in here please yeah i'm just listening to what you're saying you're right at the er s er s i yes all right i always mix that up um like they have they have presented possible plausible ways that things could be changed you've mentioned them they read the idea of um here i say and in contacts and stuff like that all been changed and they've offered ideas about changing um like doubling up uh social welfare and different things like that and that list that you read out at the start greg of the things that have been done across the water that those numbers seem to be a bit more realistic than the 200 euros or 167 or whatever it is it comes off your bill um and targeting is a keyword i think you know there there's always going to be that issue where look at what we've done it's great and there's no doubt that there have been measures brought in you know since january there have been measures brought in by governments to try and help things but if the right people and the people who need it most aren't getting aren't getting the benefit of it it's almost you know again it's like a barry said about social media spin it's not practical and it's not helping um you know the other thing is we're coming into the summer time now um i listened to a conversation on news talk this morning where there was a there was a reference made to the fuel allowance not being over the some used over the summer or available over the summer and it was almost dismissed as ush that's okay no one uses a hatem i'm sorry have you seen the weather like we are where's our summer six degrees at night i know i know people who are sitting with the hatem on at the minute so that's what yesterday issued a advice this is mabs the money advice uh you know that crew that if you cook with your oven right once you've finished cooking leave the door of your oven open with the idea being that as the oven cools down you're not wasting that heat that's that's where we're at whilst we're not actually into it whilst we're not intervening when we have the resources to do so mabs are telling people after you've cooked your chicken leave the door oven door open yeah like do you know what we're all intelligent we're all we've all come through school doing csp when we were in our teens and we all know about energy saving and how we're supposed to you know not fill the kettle not waste that's not what we need from leadership at the minute what we needed for the minute is answers and help and support and you know you you're i know the idea of targeting and and everyone's feeling this everyone is feeling this this at the minute um like we're coming into the time of year now as well kids are off school there's a lot of expense on parents when it comes to kids being off school um like everything's up even the amount of people in your home our electricity bills here we're never in the house and yet they are going up and up and up about the electricity bills too which we're told to save money and i've never got my head around this because i'll tell you the company i was with they just decide whatever they charge me right so i could switch off plugs switch off lights switch off anything it makes no difference to the bill okay i don't know how they determine the bill the the meters not checked very regularly we're being told to do all of these things right and it you know it could cause arguments in the house switch that off don't do that and you actually don't see any do you how do you see a saving on your electricity bill because they seem to pick a number out of the guess it i got a bill saying your bill is going to be such and such for the next 12 months where was the incentive for me to make any savings whatsoever or doesn't make any sense and that just these are the things that we're we live with and we're expected to live with i find that i might be i might be missing something about the electricity bills but that's how it feels to me my bill in the office was always 400 euro until last month when it was 1100 and seven euro 40 cent right well that's far and above the increases so what did you get absolutely i don't know what no i mean it makes no sense absolutely it's almost as if somebody in the energy company they won't name them plug to figure out of the air and say how should we send for that for the clock come here switch your charger off when your phone's not plugged into it thanks thanks thanks very much yeah that's it that's how you sort out typing your belts area you know we should all tighten about yeah i just i don't know and i mean the other thing now coming into the summertime you've got you've got back to skills starting to come in that cost is there as well and all of these things are rising and rising and rising and it's it is bleak for people you know there's lots of we have the lowest rate of disposable income in this county and we say it often and it's true that was before these inflationary impact so the person that ran out of money when their bills were paid and maybe they managed to find enough for dance classes or football camp right with the cost of fuel increase in the cost of power increasing and everything else there's nowhere for that money to come from so that person who was at zero on a friday six months ago and now down seventy eighty ninety hundred euro a week and those of the people that need assistance barry sweeney why is the government refusing to use the money that is there to assist these people it's like walking past someone who's tripped over on the street right and they've smacked their head and they're crying out for help and you look at them and you walk past them and straight into the nearest restaurant and enjoy a five course meal that's what's happening on a national level in this country um yeah that's a very stark uh sort of description that you you put there uh greg and whether whether you could say that's accurate or not i i i'd nearly disagree you know in terms of the way you're putting the question to me um okay well let me phrase it a different way there are people in this country right who are going to the doctor for antidepressant tablets their relationships are breaking up their children are going to school with no lunch right moms and dads do not know how they will get a school uniform for the moms and dads are telling them you're not doing that summer camp because we've got no money people are not buying food so they can put petrol in the car to go to work the government has access to billions of euro okay and is sitting on that money and arguing amongst themselves in the door while those people lie on the street with a banged head as they go in to enjoy a five course meal does that make it any clearer the point i was trying to make that that's making it more clear and and more extreme i think what i i greg without just getting into that i think what you're saying and what what is happening is very stark at the moment uh in in dunigol in the country um there are massive challenges there and you know i get the calls every week from people who as as a councillor who are really really struggling who have found that it's so hard to you know find housing uh massive problem uh supply of housing uh cost of living is is is a huge problem um and you know i suppose when you when you when you say there's six billion there that's that's a hell of a lot of money um that could be used better and i do believe that there should be targeted measures taken in before october budget um but i do think it's also really important to get budget right you you've got your short-term concerns now uh short-term emergencies not even concerns you've also got your long-term planning that you need to budget are you sure that the finance minister is not trying to protect his legacy of balance in the book balance in the books and uh you know recording the deficits like he committed to are you confident that he's not really looking after how history will member him rather than helping people who need the help right now no i think it's about um it's about helping the people the most vulnerable people know uh immediately because that that's what's needed um you know to say there's nothing been done uh is not accurate right so how does taking 200 euro off the electricity bill of uh the richest man in arland how does that help the poorest in this country uh you know the maybe the richest man in ireland uh you know who do get that money off and i completely disagree with that i don't i don't i believe people um who can afford public transport should pay for public transport and people should pay their way um that uh you know casting you know the net wide and and allowing uh these energy credits for for everybody uh i don't really agree with that but these are the measures so with all due respect with all due respect these are the measures that you're actually saying fair play to the government for bringing in and then the next sentence you say well they're not targeted enough and they're not ideal so which which one is it or is it both well you know there's no no excuse to be made to by you know helping people who are earning people who are working people who who need and deserve uh their their credits as much as as much as people because people at all levels are struggling not at all levels you know you're talking about the super rich you know and that's crazy giving money to super rich but i do i don't know perhaps uh it's a case that to means test all that uh and the administration of means testing all that would cost more now we don't have to mean we don't have to means test it we have firstly we firstly we have a system already in place that uh means that we can make double payments to those in social welfare at christmas we have the database we have the technology you can pull the trigger on that tomorrow it doesn't require anything else secondly we know the tax bands we know where people are at it's not then hard to determine those that who are working that need extra supports maybe they qualify for a medical card maybe they qualify for you know what i mean this is not uh beyond us just remember what this government was capable of during covid barry i'll come back to you breed and then maria breed your views here please yeah i actually feel sorry for barry and i feel sorry for anyone who is a county councillor at the moment because i'm sure they're on the ground and they're looking and they're listening but the problem is short of standing outside lee overackers office barry and screaming in through the keyhole to him and saying people are suffering listen do something and deal with it there's nothing you can do because they're not listening to you unfortunately when they come looking for their vote for for votes and they say to you right we're going to canvas your local area next week and they expect you to truck around beside them shaking hands you need to remind them and you need to have that conversation with them saying people are suffering now don't come down here to donnie gall and ask me to go canvassing with you when you've done nothing for those who have fallen on the street banged their head and you've walked into a restaurant for a meal to celebrate 10 years of fenigale being in power it doesn't get more stark than that i do feel sorry for county councillors but you're going to have to now just grasp the mettle and say to lee overacker don't come to donnie gall looking for me to go canvassing with you if you're not going to do something proactive about this yeah look i mean there's a big long list that greg talked about you know certain things like say your your five euro per week increase you know or the energy credits for example you know that's that's at a cost of five hundred and five million say for the energy credits and those small measures that seem small in your pocket you know they do that it's very costly to do that no without your respect the cost of the cost of petrol in your car between going to work in the morning and coming home in the morning can go up by five euro now in this climate if not more yeah and that's the vulnerability that's these again external pressures that we have no control i would love us to be having a conversation about well hungry's capped their fuel at 130 odd why aren't we doing that you know why aren't we doing that could we do that i know that's sort of like a trying to be a headline grabbing common but rather than going we can't do anything that's what we're saying rather than saying well look other countries have tried other things what's going on in hungry or malta that we could replicate in some way i genuinely think greg that they're sitting back and waiting to see how bad it's going to get yeah and how much money they want to make off the the excess as well exactly exactly because the coffers are being filled all the while i'll come back to you barry mary i haven't heard from you though in too long please there's not many say that great um i think i've got my fingers crossed i want to go there's another there's no issue as well um and barry's going to reference it as well it's there's a massive divide between urban and rural that is lost when it comes to the politicians often in dublin um you know it's yes tell me all by all means to use public transport i live in the middle of nowhere there is no public transport and even to get to public transport it's a 40 minute walk you know um we have no trains we don't have the same infrastructure here don't go as they have in dublin and that's clear to see once you pass monohin it's a whole different word um talk to me about you know we've saved energy and and you know my carbon footprint and i will do my best but don't tell me i can't use like peat and turf those things don't they don't correlate between what was interesting too about that mary and that what really onto line did you point with me from the sri i can't remember the exact figures so excuse me but they were talking about the increased cost of living right um the bill was what was it it was a 2000 extra per year or three and a half thousand plus if you own a car exactly so the headline was 2000 and sort of the subtext was but if you have a car it's three and a half thousand which is everyone in donnie go because we have to have yeah exactly because we have those of us living i suppose and i'm not just speaking about donnie go anywhere in rarer island you know most families there if you have two cars great but it's necessary no one has two cars for the crack it's because you both have different jobs and different timetables and we live in the countryside so you know those everyone has been hit but i do think that idea of in an ideal world if we all lived in a city and we all had the same infrastructure from one end of the country to the next so we all had the same health care options child care options public transport options sure yes okay throw out as you said by that blanket you know ideal and that's it is there to help us try and help but it doesn't filter down to everybody it doesn't apply to everybody don't tell me it's a great thing today that you have reduced the price of public transport and trains when i have to travel hundreds of miles to find a train unless i want to go to hopefield park and have a wee spin around the grounds up there that's it you know so i do think there's and again i don't mean to be negative there's some wonderful things happening in this country at the minute but it's just so hard when you have to get up in the morning and as someone said on the independent today you're choosing between heating and eating and that's the reality but we're at the point now and maria makes a good point and i'm not contradicting it but what we need to understand is that there is so many people at the moment one third of us are in fuel poverty an awful lot of people listening to this program that their situation is so dire that they can't see the positives that maria quite rightly you know we need to talk about because it all but there are people now they can't see the woods for the trees because their their situation is so dire and they are breaking it thinking about going back to school thinking about when the heating has to be on thinking about you know preparing the house for when santa arrives you know these are no longer these are not this is no longer confined to those who rely on social welfare benefits this is now the famous squeezed middle those who go out and work 40 50 60 hours a week and come home and find that there's less and less and less on the table and so you know what traditionally we used to always you know try and assist those who were relying on the state we're now finding that those who are contributing to the state's coffers are those and that's so disheartening for those people i mean what's you know you get up in the morning you go out you do your days work and you come home and you're no better off than you wear in fact you're probably worse off than you were that morning yeah and in fairness to finna gale i think they say that that those that cohort you talk of is going to be a target of the october budget breed yeah and this is back to it again we need an interim budget now we can't wait till october we can't wait for those changes to kick in in january 2023 there's a long six months between now and january 2023 and action needs to be taken now they need to they need to do something now it's no good in six months time i mean you're nodding bar you agree them do you i do agree the squeeze middle that have been mentioned they are the the cohort of people who say in the in the country that are suffering greatly and country and working and contributing and paying most of the taxes that are paid within the country and you know they're not benefiting they're not qualifying for state benefit and assistance at the moment in in many cases so that introduction of the middle middle rate tax ban i think is a key thing to have you know instead of jumping from 20% up to 40% to 30% middle rate tax ban would be very very beneficial and that would seem more money in people's pockets for people who are working hard just maybe i've just become too cynical and people you know some people will accept that i don't have any political allegiance others will question that but i'll tell you why i probably don't is that this budget will be shaped to target those that probably vote you know the most those most likely to vote uh historically if you look at it analyze it we know uh the the various groups of people that are more unlikely to vote on an election day and quite often those are the ones that looked after in the budget before an election or the budgets before an election but i say maybe i'm just old and cynical now all right oh at least one of them anyway uh right okay we'll hear more from Barry Sweeney breed corn and marie

interesting uh maria is that um looking at the social media but particularly those who've decided to pick up the phone and message in they really found yesterday and that style of politics the people generally speaking i would say 80 90 i turn off yeah you know absolutely yeah so i think go ahead no it is it is everything on social media is contrived i've been saying this for everything is contrived so yeah as barry so rightfully said earlier that those clips were put out they were edited they were so beautifully joined together in some cases um and they were they were put out there on purpose you know i often wonder times on days like that in politics what else is happening in the background that we're not seeing what else is being pushed through or handled in a way that they don't want to pay attention to you know there's there's definitely a look at us you know there's definitely some sort of um plan and case i mean none of this happens by accident yeah i think uh breed twitter really is an echo chamber and it's all right maybe if us as individuals get dragged into it but it's surprising when you know big political institutions with all their advisors uh find themselves dragged into it because that's the only real explanation because obviously they don't really get a sense of what we generally feel it's what those on twitter feel it seems to be that they're playing to across the board absolutely it's an echo chamber and it's it's targeting a demographic that some vote some don't vote look at the the finifall and finigale and the labour party and all the big main parties spend an absolute fortune on polls and what do people think what do people think they need to come down and talk to people they need to knock on somebody's door in rural west of Ireland and say how are you doing how are you getting on what are you they're not listening that's the problem and they're not getting it on social media they're only getting parts and portions offered on social media they need to stop that for a start they need to start canvassing the likes of councillor Barry Sweeney uh and ask him what are what are the issues that he's dealing with and they need to listen to the likes of of of the local councillors and I would give out about local councillors too because sometimes you're just too quiet and you're just you know you need to start talking and you need to start maybe shouting a little bit more because what happens is though and we saw it with with Micheal Martin's leadership a group of councillors in Donegal uh expressed their views about the direction of the party and it was just seen as a split and it was highlighted to undermine the party so that's a difficult path to tread as well breed you know what I mean because oh no I look at politics is not for the faint hearted anyone who decides to get involved in politics I take my hat off to them I think they must be either mad or psychotic and it's not for the faint hearted but what I would say in relation to it is that those at the top of the party Pascal Donahue and Micheal Martin, Micheal McGrath, Leo Rackert need to start listening and they need to stop listening and wondering what is being said on Twitter about them because in the last 30 seconds Barry I mean do you get a sense of disconnect between national politics and what's happening on the ground? There's a big urban rural difference divide I do I do agree that we need to fight our cars and that's what we do on a daily basis you know and talking politics for me is only a very small part of my role as a councillor like the role of a county councillor is something like you know from day to day we've very different um chores jobs to do yeah issues to deal with talk about that quite regularly on this program that there's an awful lot more goals on behind the newspaper articles than the the interviews and I respect that Barry Sweeney it's been great having you on the program will you come back absolutely anytime good stuff good there's a call take care of yourself thanks very much breed thank you indeed it's been lovely having you on as always thanks so much not at all thank you all

news this is the highland radio news at 10 o'clock i'm daniel brennan a local finnegill councillor says that focus numbers we put on the future rather than past events after the spat between deputy pierce daugherty and tonnage certainly over at car in the doll yesterday the argument began with deputy daugherty raising a case involving the tonnage that's currently under review by the director of public prosecutions in response the tonnage that brought up a prosecution for a minor breach of the peace involving a member of the guarantee that deputy daugherty received over 20 years ago local finnegill councillor barry sweeney says that it's unfortunate that yesterday's brief spat is now dominating the new cycle rather than the other political work done what we are talking about today is something that happened over the course of the few minutes within a full day and this is what's making the headlines to see this is this is what we're talking about today there was obviously a whole lot more stuff that was talked about in the schools it's unfortunate that that is the way it's gone to get the clicks and to get the you know to get the headlines and that's that's what i believe it is that that's what a nonsense is there and what we really should be doing is focusing on the future you know i know it's important to know about the past it's important to to get to know our politicians and and make an informed decision shin fan has reiterated its call for an emergency budget to tackle the rising cost of living it comes ahead of a national protest due to take place tomorrow where it will call for immediate government action to address rising prices tonnage to leo vratkar told the doll yesterday that the doll wasn't ruling out more measures before october's budget shin fan's social protection spokesperson claire karan who's taking part in the demonstrations says targeted measures to help the most vulnerable no need to be implemented we have a set of demands most of which have been very much outlined in recent months as the cost of living crisis has grown we have demands which we will put to government and i suppose the main thing we want to achieve is action now rather than action at budget time which typically isn't implemented until january a u.s cross party committee has criticized the british government's plans to overturn parts of the northern northern protocol the ad hoc committee to protect the good friday agreement has called on president joe biden to use all diplomatic tools to suspend any talks in a trade agreement with britain until the bill to rip up parts of the protocol is rescinded the committee adds that the u.k government is acting in bad faith while agreeing with t-shop meal merton that the bill is a fundamental breach of trust the legal deputy thomas pringle has again called for a public inquiry into sexual abuse at a residential center for disabled adults in dunigol his calls come as the hse has confirmed it shared the validation report which uncovered further abuse at our grenia court in str. norther with garde the report contains information on abuse against residents at the facility carried out by 11 other residents between 1991 and 2002 in a statement the hse say they'll meet with garde once they've considered the report in the doll yesterday deputy pringle renewed his calls for a public inquiry and disabilities minister an rabbit confirmed communication between herself and the hse on the matter is ongoing i know that some families were only to find out this week so will your government now ensure that there is a fully independent public inquiry into the management of disability services in dunigol and nationally as a matter of urgency just earlier to had a meeting with the hse to bring me up to date on that validation report i've sought further information which there could be back to me in the next 10 days and i'd keep the house updated and finally a warning is

disruption this weekend there is a cohort that attend the rally event in dunigol and they have attended for the last number of years even though there hasn't been a rally especially last year taken

welcome back to the second hour of the nine till noon showing a very good morning to you if you're just joining us now you missed a very a hope a very interesting first hour to the program where we debated a couple of the big issues of the week so far okay and we're talking about the cost of living and about how people are you know uh perhaps running out of money today uh if it's paid a few today friday perhaps the money's gone already and also already you know some schools are sending out and we don't have a free education though to talk about it already schools are sending out looking for the levies for next year and if you've nothing and you're getting messages or however they might communicate with you saying that you know your 200 or your 300 or your 400 euro is due round about now it's it's an extra worry that's the type of thing we're talking about how uh people can find themselves triggered into worry uh is that a situation you find yourself in 08 660 25000 uh we'll get to the bingo numbers in a few minutes uh but i want to make sure to uh give uh your comments out here uh appalling to all donagore football fans to keep your flags out appealing to all donagore football fans to keep your flags out for our ladies team this weekend they are most certainly to be in the last eight and a win over cork next sunday we'll give them a more favorable draw in the quarter final good point but you know what wasn't any flags out to begin with another caller says we're so close to breaking point with all the costs that we are having to come uh the winter will be on our knees energy companies making massive profits big supermarkets the same small businesses on the brink of closure and our political leaders doing nothing to help they only do what europe tells them people have had enough and i know i have well there are other you see the thing about that is is right again i'm not contradicting okay but there are other countries in europe that are doing very different things you know it's not like every country in europe is doing the exact same thing we are um in terms of just something like petrol prices let's uh just open up this um link i shared yesterday shared yesterday all right so we're above average in terms of petrol prices if you go to uh hungary 123 multa 134 liter slovenia 156 turkey 158 bulgaria bosnia poland 171 uh now i understand that there's different rules for different places uh but luxembourg two-year-old germany two two-year-old one cent we're average way above some of those uh and those that are very much bound by the same european rules that we are as well we're not the highest but we're paying more from fuel than a lot of our european neighbors so you know we can't blame europe because they're not blaming europe they're making changes internally there please can someone tell me why the guard of edisism is the way it is i'm 40 plus i went back to study as an sna i wasn't a great student when i was at school but i worked really hard at this and got way and above what i thought i'd get i've roughly 40 cvs out all over the country or the county but for every school i drop a cv in i've to apply to be guard of vetted is there no joined up thinking that once you're vetted you uh a number and we barcode phab that can be scanned as of now i've 43 vetting applications in the system it is uh there should be a better system but even if you change jobs you have to get re-vetted and there's lots of people out there particularly people that work with community groups that drive bosses lots of all the different groups that are very frustrated by the vetting system it's there for all the right reasons but surely uh there should be a better system can they not have a a system though that they only vet those that are shortlisted the short short list it might inconvenience those hiring but it would certainly take a lot of inconvenience off those applying hi great show can you ask the panel what their views are about someone who has an accident is self-employed who's been told they're not entitled to any benefits how is this person supposed to support themselves i might add they've done everything through the box but no one seems to be able to help thank you anyone out there who was self-employed and suffered an injury can you tell us uh if and how you managed to get any supports i live alone on the widow's pension this country could uh tight this country could tighten its belt by making the politicians take a pay cut that leaves them being paid a more realistic wage plus half of these public servants are running ridiculous amounts in wages greg i was in spain last month i saw petrol advertised for one euro 61 i filled up and went into the shop to pay for it the pump stated i owed a certain amount but the girl in the shop asked me for less than the amount the girl explained to me that they have to advertise a certain price but can take duty offered at the till this is to satisfy the EU rules never heard teller that one i hear some of the panel talking about what about me hall martin well me hall martin obviously uh from a political perspective uh in terms of you know your popularity if he he's going to be campaigning against leo for our car amp and maryland mcdonald next next election so if they are in some way and there's a different opinion in there uh seeming to bringing down their profile in a public debate me hall martin's elevates even if it doesn't uh move his popularity increases but to read the text in full i hear some of the panel talking about what about me hall martin he's t-shock he said nothing nothing done till budget time don't blame leo for everything it was leo who got money into people's pockets to be fair all the people that were laid off work and although they brought billions of euro of tax avoidance schemes in arland for vulture and pension funds and not a form filled in an old pensioner who's only the state pension to rely on has to go through the ringer for everything they're entitled to some forms have at least 20 to 30 pages to complete they live on their own how can they complete such forms the government knows all uh the pensioners are uh this to be automatic they have the info yeah indeed but listen of course i don't want to cast it in top first i'm not a massive fan of the word pensioner or elderly i think these are older people and they vary uh some could uh buy and sell me in terms of tech uh well into their 80s but i take at the point that you're making could you ask barry sweeney how are we supposed to heat our homes in the winter cold is 30 euro for one bag it's horrendous well cold sales are going to plummet aren't they i would just like to give credit to greg for voicing the concern of our community on this current financial crisis compared to other national broadcasters he's punching above his weight darin thanks darin uh hi how can they afford to take all these ukranians to the country can't even look after the people in it look at there's a good meme going around uh and it's two pictures okay one is of an irish person in inverted commas standing screaming at a politician uh saying and the text to it to the politician is something along the lines you know don't be taken in these ukranians look after the irish first and then the second picture there's no ukranians there's just the irish person looking at the the the politician type character with the same question and the politician type character and it's quite crude but says f off in other words it's a distraction you know people are sleeping out rough on cobble boxes in letter kenny not just Dublin or elsewhere before any assistance was given to the ukranians ukranians and they would be afterwards i think what we need to challenge our politicians to do if we are going to uh do our bit which we are uh that we also make sure that everybody is assisted that the same urgency is given to everyone because listen let's face the facts if every one of the 35 000 odd ukranians were able to return home today and wouldn't it be lovely if they would do you seriously think honestly uh that that would in any way benefit those most in need in ourland i think we all know it wouldn't uh and and it's a welcome distraction for for the likes of the decision makers again like i said yesterday if we're pointing fingers at each other um Greg my brother is looking for career allowance for our mother's needs and it was refused the government are handing out money hand over fist to foreign nationals and bringing in ukraine people by the plane load at the expense of the irish people i'm not a racist but this needs to stop now again i'll just if you think about it think about where we were prior to ukranians coming to this country think about where we would be if they weren't here do you seriously think the situation here has got worse for anyone uh or would have got better if they if we hadn't helped them you know i think if we we need to change our messaging to the decision makers that's just my view and it's just an opinion i don't know the facts uh got my social welfare money yesterday after shopping electric and rent i'm sitting with 10 euro in my pocket today i'm really struggling can't afford heating or bags of logs to burn so they've paid their electricity they have done the priority of getting as much food as the cannon for the week and they've paid their rent and this person listening to us as 10 euro how do you heat a house for a week on 10 euro you simply can't i frequently use the open oven door tricked heater room when i was a student i'm not above going back to that of course not listen my point is is though that we are at the point now that that is the advice that's being issued being promoted on twitter at the pay to promote this stuff on twitter and facebook we're at the point now in the absence of assistance for people that we're being told to open the oven door to uh not waste that heat to heat the kitchen no point sitting in the front room what's next up from that sit in the kitchen for the heat from the cooling oven lots of people have done lots of things and none of us are above anything but is that really where we're at that we're failing to help people to the point that we're talking about using the heat from an oven to keep warm that's the the point i was trying to make i was in hospital for a month with only the fridge and one light on in the house and the electricity bill was 145 euro i'd already switched provider it makes no difference as far as i can see yeah indeed the ask us to save here there and everywhere right but on electricity where did where does the saving come from can someone explain to me how unplugging tv's chargers and all have you seen it reflected in your bill at all um do you because the electricity company i was with we're able to tell me my bill every month for a year so what's the point in me switching things off left right in the center maybe there is and i don't understand it right my apologies for the glane getting to the bingo here they are good luck if you're playing today it's time

forecast for this region for the weekend and into next week carol my apologies for holding you so long thanks so much good morning to you good morning greek right i have in front of me a and it smells delicious by the way the aerogal arts festival running from the ninth to the 24th di 2022 it's its program it's resplendent in text and in colour but if i go through this from cover to cover are you telling me that i will not see any events in bunkrana none whatsoever there's 83 events throughout the county and there isn't one listed for my hometown of bunkrana and i am absolutely appalled at this great tell me why well basically we're the second largest town in dunygol and um there is a really strong unit of artistic um artistic flair in bunkrana from visual arts to dancing to drama group to um musicians and um when i picked up the brochure i automatically went to see what was on in bunkrana because i'm interested in the arts because i used to work until i ever know here in bunkrana and i was i worked as a paid employee for art link and art in bunkrana but um i went up into the the the book was absolutely nothing listed for bunkrana it's it's really a letter kenny event with a couple of satellite events because of course you're coming from this from an initial perspective carol i'm coming in from a south of the gap perspective and if i were to have a quick glance through i don't see anything in bali shannon a huge center for the arts dunygol town um killi begs now i could be wrong i only had a quick glance through i i get where you're coming from because i've had this conversation before why is it not a county wide thing and if not why not exactly exactly for me the the ergo artifacts um festival brings art together for a month or three weeks or whatever length of time it runs and it should be in each area as far as i'm concerned county wide not just a selection of venues yep there seems to be plenty of stuff in raffaul obviously letter kenny um there's some stuff in malin though isn't there okay is that not kind of uh ticking the initial unbox well it is it doesn't sense of any show but it's not ticking the box great i think i have more to complain about than you from south dunygol's perspective head up to malin and carol but the problem is at the moment i don't have access to a car no i understand that like me of course 100 percent i don't have access to to a car and there's nothing that i can go to in the ergo arts festival but it also raises another issue great i'm in dunygol town now i'm a tourist american tourist in dunygol town and i get this brochure as far as i'm concerned there's absolutely nothing happening in bunkrana for the full month yeah yeah i get you and there's nothing going to take me to bunkrana so i think this brochure is actually doing a disservice to my town all right um it's historically like that though do you recall any um ergo arts festival events in bunkrana carol there was there was one last year and it was run in collaboration with art link but art link i was been speaking to art link before i came on to you straight and they have an exhibition running at the moment and they are on the ergo arts festival website as having an exhibition at the moment but there's nothing on in the brochure and she that really i was talking to rebecca told me that she sent in all the information in april um in relation to this exhibition that they're running at the moment and don rey and art link do amazing work they have exhibitions all the time and they're working with um different groups and um they do have an exhibition running but it's not in the the brochure and i just feel i just feel that um for a festival the size of the initial or the ergo arts festival they should be more inclusive um what about the talent the makeup of talent the texture says that they should use more local talent for the arts festival that they use too much talent imported talents but is it not a treat for us to see arts from all around the world uh in our you know in our backyard not literally for those in bunkrana or for me who doesn't live in ladder candy but uh would you agree with that caller that maybe it could be used to platform more local arts or do you accept that maybe it's about also bringing in the best of the best from around europe in the world well personally i think it's a mixture of both yeah i think if it's i was wrong properly it should be a mixture of both um um important artists and and and definitely the local talent because bunkrana is not short of talent i don't want to start sort of a an internal in its own war here uh carol no but what about if say for instance instead of malin the big top on the green was located in bunkrana would you think that's fair as a bunkrana person would you say well you know what are we the de facto capital of any show maybe that's where it should be yeah i do i do feel that at risk of putting myself out there um to be contradicted i do feel that that it should have been in bunkrana to the size of the town all right well fair play to you by standing by your views and your guns carol i appreciate it uh we'll see if we can get any uh response as i say it's something i i remember about five years ago i was asking why is it not called the donny go lords festival why is it called the urgal festival um for for similar reasons as to you although i had to be a bit more careful with my words uh thanks very much carol have a lovely weekend when you yeah okay good stuff take care bye bye thank you uh i feel not much of the local talent is used in the arts festival they use talent from outside the country that's the full text of that text that i was referring to there um why should the richest people in ourland get children's allowance i think there's a again i kind of alluded to this yesterday i think there's a it's about for the children right you know maybe we use it for other reasons but it is for the children and if you start means testing the actual child effectively because of their background i'm not sure even if that would be constitutional i'm open to correction on that but i think that may well be that may will be um part of the reason there greg when it gets as bad as it's going to get an old government will be able to fix it full stop mary yes but mary we kind of maybe want people to sort of do as much as they can for us uh in the full knowledge that they can't do everything uh landline phone going up five euro per month coming in from mary another one i think that's the error increase is it you know you can shop around and avoid that uh just wondering would that high electricity bill have been after a smart meter was fitted as some people are now saying their bills went up massively after smart savers were fitted i don't know again i think i at the risk of repeat myself i i if at least with a smart meter i feel that i could maybe manage the cost of the electricity that i could unplug televisions that are on standby or i could unplug the kettle when it's not being boiled or the microwave or whatever you know um but anyway uh i don't know there's people of other concerns with smart meters here's the thing right here's the thing okay this is going to sound crazy but it's an idea right do you know how there's clocks on every microwave in every oven and they're constantly flashing because we don't know how to use them most of us don't know how to use them how much electricity would the country save if there were no clocks uh on microwaves and ovens there's a suggestion now aimin ryan i'm giving you some ideas here you know why have a clock constantly displayed on an oven and on a microwave we don't use them do we do we tell the time off them there you are how much would that save someone work it out how much would getting rid of clocks off microwaves and ovens which are completely pointless how much would that save in terms of our energy usage per annum any more fantastic ideas like that join me you're not going to beat mine mine's the best but we are going to be uh talking to our next guest in just two minutes stay where you are the nine till noon show

son alex who's uh 17 so tell us the background to this lin why uh what's alex's situation um last Friday alex was diagnosed with non-hobbkins lymphomae um so it's a form of cancer um we found out on friday that he had it um and on sunday we were then transferred down to go away for all his tests and treatments take place all right and he's a rally fan lin oh a big rally fan always has big so he'd have been out in all the stages and all that type of stuff he would have been out on the stages or or uh the service are okay we've lost uh lin there do we try and get lin back or should we just run through the details caroline should i just run through the details we lost lin there or do you want to try and get her back okay uh right let's see uh leo is only dragging up stuff since 1998 like what the hell i'd really never vote finnegale again say it's a caller okay we'll go back to lin then we'll come back to those uh comments right lin sorry about that we lost you so this all happened really really recently what a what a shock for for a for alex and you in the family he discovered a lump is that where uh is that how you come to get the diagnosis yeah um so in april we took him to the doctors they had a lump under his arm and alex would have bad acne on his back so they thought it may have been ingrown acne um so they started treating him for that but within six weeks it just swallowed turned black his skin around it started to bruise um so i took him to the NE department and they took one look at it and says right he needs to go to emergency surgery tonight right that was on the first of june um so they said like we're going to remove the abscess um it's very dangerous of a bus um so the surgeon came back after and says listen the lymph node didn't look too good so we took a swab and uh we'll get back to you on it and he was he had an open wound then so we got out on the friday again and the nurses came every day to clean it and pack it and take care of it um by the way into the nurses you know it's starting to infect from the inside so i'm going to get stronger and to the alex firm and push for the swab results to see what it is we're dealing with yeah um and then last friday i went on to my work as normal i've got the phone call to get in the road straight away along with alex um the lymph node results have come back and they needed to talk to us so yeah last friday evening they sat us down and told us that it is non-hoc skin lymphoma and that he is going to require a lot of a lot of chemo and a lot of help to get through it and a lot of tests and everything we're down here now and we're actually in Dublin at the minute we've been back and forward between hospitals getting tests um we're hoping to find out what form there's 30 different forms of it or over 30 different forms of it yeah to see what treatment he needs um what we're praying for is that he can actually start treatment and go away and finish it off back home and let her can i that's kind of the best situation we're hoping for right now what a week uh lend between you know last thursday and uh you know today it's at all for shark how's alex coping with things he has been fantastic um you know it truly does amaze me how strong he is i think he was kind of holding me together at the same time yeah you're getting your strength from him are you yeah um but you know he he was all he was starting a new job but he had to put a gearbox into his lexus for for this weekend for for manner but unfortunately everything just kind of fell apart on him and my cousin takes me yesterday by setting up the page you know at least it'll you'll see everything so it's gonna it's gonna be a year before he gets to the rally so let's get the rally to him um and the page if you search it it's called let's bring the rally to alex and what kind of stuff do you want us to post on it lin? pictures from the rally a video from the stages you know king of the cone and all the other stuff that's gone on and done it all this weekend a little bit of everything just make him feel like he's there and also like yesterday when the page was put up um i completely distracted him last night and there was smiles and there was laughing and you know it really took his mind off what to hit him and what i have to go through and does he have a particular driver that he's a big fan of or? well he loves them all but sure you know yourself Jennings is up there at the top okay so um let's bring the rally to i i didn't know we were doing this it's kind of give me a gunker i can only

08 660 uh 25 000 is the text number uh coming up very shortly we're going to speak to osheen kelly he of course is uh the voice of at highland radio for the donagall international rally that's coming up on the way there's one for the road the tumbling bodies and mark mckabe okay so uh the donagall international rally starts today don't forget you can follow all the rally action with highland radio across the northwest on air online around the world on highland radio dot com and on our social media platforms right let's go to head of sport osheen kelly the excitement building osheen yeah it certainly is greg we're here in the lower main street just outside and green and theater the drivers were here at nine o'clock this morning for the traditional drivers briefing which is one of the uh the highlights of the opening day of the rally before they get back out uh on stages here in the county again it's been a long wait greg june 2019 was the last time that we had the international rally and we're now just what about an hour so less than an hour so away from the first car going on stage one which is do it should start outside manor conningham and finishes outside muting the cars you're just going to leave then green and theater work their way down the the uh the port roads get their clock out time and then send the service and off they go to the stages listen there's a great atmosphere down here greg it's and it's great to see people out in numbers again big numbers following rallying with the ceremonial start last night down the lower main street and there was a fantastic atmosphere and there was a good mixture of of uh old and young who were down to see see the cars as the motor club celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2022 but the real action is going to is going to start shortly and there's a lot of men will be looking to make a statement on what will be very testing uh trying and slippy conditions greg as the weather this morning is going to have a huge factor in how the day pans out yeah so we um have obviously had an awful lot of rain early morning it's drying out now so it's going to be patchy on the route presumably uh what what kind of considerations do they have to take in terms of the setup to the car uh they have different tire options do they are sheen yeah it's it's the tires is going to be key for this greg uh more than likely they'll go out in a soft slick so they will it depends what the rain's like out in the stages because the first you could go into a 12 kilometer stage and the first six kilometers could be wet and then the the next six kilometers in the far side of a mountain could be bone dry but the men at the front the the real contenders for the championship uh they they basically have teams on the ground and men go out doing gravel notes from early on this morning and they'll be taking notes and they'll be relaying it back to their teams and then they'll sit down and they'll make a a tire choice i would say more likely it's going to be slick it needs to be very very wet for the for the wets and intermediates to come out greg i would say they're going to slick tire maybe with a cotton um and someone will suggest in last night with the rain it's going to be a a soft tire they're going to use but it is going to be crucial because it could gather you a lot of seconds in the opening part of the day and it could put you at the at the head of the field very very quickly if you get it right if you get it wrong you've got a lot of catching up to do so you have yeah you can't win the dunagall international rally on a friday but you can lose it you can lose it on a friday that's for sure greg and unfortunately with the conditions that we have and there's six long stages today uh they're they're tricky stages as well there we would expect quite a few of of the competitors uh that they could hit problems today because all the ticks is a wrong note are going into a corner too quick and you slide off the road you might do that much damage to the car greg but you end up stuck in the ditch and you're up going anywhere and that's really you out of out of contention uh so so it will play it will play a big factor today some guys will want to just pace their way through and get to saturday the boys that want to win this know that they have to be right on the money they have to be on the pumps so they do from the very very go if they're going to be at the head of the field come sunday but it's a marathon event and anything can happen over 300 kilometers of stages greg's greg that's they're 79 to come today that's a big distance so it is uh for the drivers and the navigators to take on right so as it starts how does that work presumably it's it's the guys with championship interests as a right away first and then it works its way down from there it is the first guy who will be on the road with sam off at number one he's in a wrc fiesta he was uh when the event was stopped in 2019 in june he was declared the winner he's in a similar car as what he had been but these or five cars that are all behind them are just as quick um there's maybe more grunt out of the wrc but there's there's better there's better cornering uh so there is and maybe more speed out of the r5 car so there's not a big difference between them uh but these these guys at the at the front they're going to be looking to make their intention very very early sam moffat's number one on the door calum divine here's got number two i'm just watching him coming out of the ingrain and theater they're going to take a couple of photographs we have to watch josh moffat younger brother of sam he's the championship leader he's won two events already this year and he's also won a handful of the of the national events and uh josh could like his brother become the only god champion uh later this weekend and then listen the list goes on you've got gary jennings allister fisher all these guys in the r5 cars very much one and overall we can't forget about the modified cruise as well Greg they're two way to drive we don't have the four-way power that the r5 cars have they're known as the entertaining category as well and in wet conditions they're certainly going to be entertaining today but there's a heap of escorts and darians a man in twin camp that will all be looking to one the the modified section as well i don't know if you can hear me or not greg is the car i was wondering where the sound of the cars was at the start of the interview i'm delighted to hear it i would say what's all she'd say and i'm listening to the note on that yoke uh going past him but come here to uh what was i going to ask you um i can't remember what i was going to ask tell us oh yeah uh tell us what how we're going to listen to you what what way are you going to keep people up to date throughout the weekend well listen greg all you have to do is tune into highland from now right through until sunday and you can follow all the action as it happens stage by stage i'll be out in the road out and about myself with uh the the joint president of the motor club and former winner shimus megetigan will be sitting alongside me keeping me right he's he's in the car on sunday isn't he he's leaving me on sunday i'm going to be on my own on sunday he's going off in the demonstration run where there's 10 of the former winners going around high glennon atlantic i'm changing that i'm changing the name of that to the legends run i think it's got it's got more of a more of a catch to it and actually you know yourself as we get older it's harder to get excited isn't it by things are you buzzing are you buzzing now well we're starting to get the rally balls now you're right we're starting to get the rally balls listen just in the coverage as well before start we could sidetrack by shimus chris ashmore is going to be based uh in service we have our outside broadcast unit parked in service that's going to be his base he's going to be following everything from there as well and it's the most stuff that we can't get to at the end of the stages he's going to be clarifying it and covering it from our our base uh at service and he'll also be getting reaction from drivers coming into service as well and we make it we'll be talking to some of the old guard the former winners have been running about him spoke to manax this morning was there eugen donnelly he's wanted a couple of times uh eugen was in and around service he's not doing the demonstration run on sunday but he's here for for the weekend and he's he'll be keeping a close eye on how the boys are doing at the head of the field still is a huge interest in rallying so it's good to see the likes of eugen and former winners back in the county again great all right great stuff farsheen thank you very much indeed highland's coverage of day one of the donnie gall international rally comes to you in association with

councillor barry sweeney told the day's night till noon show that it's unfortunate that yesterday's brief spat is now dominating the news cycle rather than the other political work done and you can

and michael hello greg and deputizing for funula rabbit this week is emma costlow of emma torx tv good morning emma it's good to have you with us how are we keeping not so bad as yourself you came back so he won't take hard on you yeah it's not so it's slogged back you know all right get involved in the conversation what have you seen in the cinema watch have you watched on telly what are you doing to entertain yourself uh just want to catch up on one thing i said before the break i was thinking uh michael that if we uh banned clocks off ovens and microwaves right yes we could probably save nationally as a nation quite a bit of electricity you know pass those savings on because you know how many people have them set the right time correctly you know nobody nobody nobody yeah we keep them switched on because we see the illumination as comforting i don't know what uh but anyway a caller says if greg if you're not using the clock just turn the microwave off at the plug when not in use but when you switch it back on it's flashing it's constantly flashing it's annoying it's annoying life without an oven display would be a life not worth living says this caller is that not a bit dramatic wow it's on the entertainment slots everything is it's dramatic it's on the higher scale of dramatic i don't think you use your oven much if that's your opinion says an angry caller another says i'll be lost i don't think everyone uses it enough for it to be on all the time that's my point uh a caller says i'll be lost without the timer on my oven a visual and audio telling me time is up and if you don't take your food out of the oven it'll burn smoke lomagwaf and your day's ruined and you go to your bed hungry that would be probably the worst case scenario yes but you see you use the timer when you you switch on because you go right my oven has a timer i'm going to use that it's the clock element of it that's on all the time yeah that's true okay so i'm actually not being serious by the way this could be the most controversial thing you have said in the whole history of the grey queues too finally delivers me my poop p45 the cheers of a it was just a line too far of the northwest public uh i watched all of that is it widwitch cuckoo yes that uh finula i didn't even started yet did you watch that am i i haven't started yet no but it's on my list i love keely haws the list with her i'm like yeah if you're saying that what does she do in it i don't i don't know what does she does she juggle i know she's got various expressions of you know shock and i think it's called acting are you sure that she's not just one of those actors that everyone says you know everything she's in is gold but but that's true though i mean have you seen like no of course i haven't okay i mean her character in line of duty is i would argue that the best oh that's her yeah she's the baddie in it yeah she's very serious i haven't seen it oh that's you're from the it's greg it's greg yes she was the guest lead in series three we cannot wait forever to talk about anything on tv because you haven't watched because you're watching 1970s programs in weekly sequence crossing off them off my list exactly so we can't we can't we like we life literally is too short for us not to talk about stuff that aired 10 years ago but go ahead talk to me a bit more about her i didn't recognize her she's very good oh no she's i would say she's one of the best british actresses of you know current times like definitely line of duty and then i know she was in the second series of there was a show that james nesbitt did called the missing so he was the lead in the first series and then she was leading the second series and she was brilliant in that is that where the sun goes missing isn't yeah so that was james nesbitt his son went missing on holiday cut that was uh i watched that as well yeah and then i think that was tough to get through yeah oh i couldn't join i remember joining it was a grind it was a grind yeah but the second series then with keely haas i think it was her daughter went missing like maybe about a decade ago and then all of a sudden she reappeared again and she was she felt like a completely different person so it's like the struggle of like trying to yeah okay well that's listen at least you're backing up your opinion which is more than i ever do i will back keely haas because it helps but you haven't watched this one yet i haven't but it is ominous it's definitely it's worth watching it's really good like it is good it's kind of i loved it and you you're giving me the thumbs up as well as well it's got a nice beginning middle and an end you know it's eight eight episodes it's fine so you don't think it's going to come back it could do i don't think it has to uh i don't think the concept is so well maybe they could expand the story a little bit it's from a novel and if they've done the whole novel maybe they're not going to go back to maybe maybe they're still like that i know they still come back i know you're i went when they should i don't think there's any questions i want answered um maybe what was actually going on would be interesting but i can't say it without ruining it because this is something people might actually know but you know just the background to the story might be interesting okay um again i don't want to spoil it for anyone but other than that i don't really think it needs another right well let's hope they don't do that yeah of course because there is a list to them there is a list to them that have come back like yeah oh it's like i'm enjoying flight attendants season two but really the first season was a self-contained story okay they could have left it they could have left it right okay um why is celebrity goggle box on your list emma because i feel like it needs to be needs to be loved okay i i feel like goggle box is one of those shows that kind of slips under a lot of people's radars and they don't really pay attention to it like for me i think i started watching it maybe eight or nine years ago like it was quite a while ago and then i was into it for a few years dipped out of it and then the past couple years i've come back to it and it's become like my little friday night ritual where i sit down i always record it i don't watch it live i always record it and then i sit down with like a bar chocolate or whatever and i watch goggle box and especially during the pandemic you know we weren't allowed to see friends and family and i feel like that was like my weekly it was like a weekly catch up with friends especially like the normal goggle box with everyday families you get to know them you get to know their you know the work and other lives you get to hear about their jobs or their other family members and you feel like you really get to know them and then i feel like the celebrity goggle box version it i do prefer the normal version i have to say but the celebrity one is i think is just as good um and especially like especially with celebrities you don't often don't get to see into their private lives and what happens with goggle boxes people who don't watch it or don't enjoy it go well why would i watch people watching tv but when you watch it you know it it's more than that no it is because like i think when the concept first came out people are like what what's the point of this show like why would i want to watch people watch television but then especially for people like me who have like such a fascination with tv if you don't hear about a show or if you hear about showing you think oh i'm not sure if that's going to be for me and then you see it on goggle box and you're like oh actually that looks pretty good then it encourages to watch it the only problem i have with it and this is what put me off for emma and it kind of ties into everything you're saying is uh i like it's something i dip in and out of do you know what i mean um but i noticed they started sort of watching uh like line of duty you mentioned right so they were showing quite extensive scenes from line of duty commenting on that but what happens was is i couldn't watch goggle box because it was ruining the stuff i was likely to watch so that would be my only well i would say that happens to me a few times where they didn't also too with that haunting of hill house right do you know what i mean it's spoiled let's see that's where recording comes in handy because there will be times where i've seen i haven't caught up with the show yet or haven't started it yet and i'm like i don't want that to be spoiled for me so i just fast forward any way but i just fast forward 10 minutes and then you're good to go i'll get you right okay it's not that good that i commit to that but i take i take your point the thing about it is too though the the regular version version versus the celebrity one i feel i know and the regular commentators are the celebrities and then you get some sleds that come on obviously there's some big harry style and tom jones and others have been on it but i feel like they're less of celebrities than some of the the regular so goggle box does that make sense no that does make sense peculiar no but i feel like some of the parents like i would say my favorites would probably be like ryan and clark neal is somebody that before i started watching celebrity goggle box i didn't really pay much attention to it didn't think he was all that great and i started watching him and he's paired with his mom linda their banter is brilliant she's hilarious she's really really funny and it's like completely changed my opinion of him and then martin kemp from spandor balli and his son roman they've got a really lovely relationship and you don't because they often do very separate things you don't really look those two aren't they they're really right on well no but i feel like you know i'd love to see them chat with the cameras yeah there was one bit i remember i think was a few series ago where martin brought all of his old tour outfits from spandor balli and he was like you know showing martin or showing roman all these you know crazy outfits and he was like why were you wearing that back in the day you know so they have like a really insight isn't it yeah it's a lovely relationship that they've got yeah it is give it a go it's simple and it's it's it's fun and there's not much to it it's like hearted you don't need to think too much about it uh it's a bit mad watching people watch tv it's enjoyable though it is but it's not quite that there's a bit more to it yeah another texas says google box is great crack with the two ardor are women and on it so that's the irish version of you watch see no that's i can't get into the irish version i think i'm just loyal to the to the uk version i can i have watched it a few times but i would yeah maybe one day i'll get into it more but i call it says i'm with you greg i never use the clock or timer on my cook listen there's people closer to me in this text i never use the cooker probably wouldn't even know how to open the front door of it but anyway uh greg and greg and greg and gang did jane harricks have a case to argue that all the feminity faces get all the plumb rolls keely whores and olive olivia williams yeah there's a hierarchy of british actors and actresses lady nesbitt is in everything and i think he plays it's detective and everything yeah exactly you know okay um neither of you uh are watching love island oh guiltiest charge right i call it says what do you think love island it would need a lift it's very boring this year oh okay that's that's interesting i would something you agree with them i i would contradict that statement so last year last year series was quite toxic and it got to a point where a lot of people were saying i'm not going to come back and watch it the following year i feel like they've really they've made some changes don't give me wrong it is it's still a problematic show i'm not going to say that it isn't there are still things that they could do better but i feel like they've come you know it's currently in its second week and i feel like so far this is potentially one of the strongest series they've ever had and it's definitely the strongest they've had for a couple of years um yeah i'm really enjoying it i can't i can't deny that i want to because it's it's kind of holds a mirror up to society in a way and it's trying to figure out how can we do this program and not offend anyone yeah i i mean purely i i watch it for pure escapism i try not to it's bubblegum telly isn't it bubblegum for the brain really yeah exactly and fair play i used to maybe be more cynical and criticize people for watching these type of shows but you know i used to be the same yeah and all that kind of stuff yeah uh right now you went to the cinema but it was sky cinema oh well pheromone plus is a bit news is it no yeah this is just a show it's not a show no it's just it's another streaming platform and it's coming online next week right it's another one yeah exactly so the story with this is june 22nd pheromone plus will be available uh if you've already got sky cinema you get it for free but if you oh yeah if anyone with sky cinema gets pheromone plus but if you don't you end up paying uh either eight euro 30 a month or 83 euro what is your catalogue michael what kind of stuff are we talking about it's backlog of a lot of cbs shows and a lot of nicolodian shows that'll be the kids side of it and then they will have old pheromone because pheromone production studio film studio stuff as well um and they'll have the new star trek show which is probably their jewel in the crown at the moment because they'll have all the star trek shows but the new one is getting a lot of traction because it's a brilliant show probably definitely the best of the new star treks probably probably the best star trek show in of all because it's absolutely brilliant i'm up to date on it so the drop in three episodes of that next week so for anyone and i mean i've had a lot a lot of friends of anyone we've been chatting about this about the fact that it's just another streaming platform it's another bill if you want to go for it i mean all of them as we often say on the show that they can't all survive there will be people who want probably this one um the fact that it's bundled with sky cinema i think that's the future i think it's the bundling you know whereby you're not that's the only way they're all going to survive agreed yeah absolutely netflix now they're seeing their retraction they're big time you know so big time there's a bit of a crisis like i mean a couple of the articles i've read over the last few weeks like nice netflix is almost in crisis because they've had such a drop off a drop off in subscriptions and can and an increase in cancellations and a lot of it is because they've increased uh their costs and i think there's more pressure on their price point now because you know amazon watched that eight or nine but you can get it for free with a phone network apple tv you can get that free with an iphone i think and apple is some fantastic shows with air i think you get apple as well then you get that one bundle and then you have netflix sitting out there on its own you know really quite expensive and i think most people agree in terms of new content you know we're not seeing a lot of the programs we're talking about here or will be talking about they're not on netflix and you go back two years ago it would have been two lists of netflix yeah big time yeah exactly yeah absolutely no it's changed definitely all the other have have come online and over the time i mean it's not going to last it just can't last one way or another but at the moment we have them all and for anyone that's interested it starts next week if anybody really really wants to see the new star trek all right michael let's stay with you because yellowstone is one of those stories that are one of those shows that over the last two or three years people were texting in yellowstone constantly i had never heard of it for who had never watched it and you it went on your radar and i think it might actually be the only thing that actually went on your radar you ended up watching so yeah it's not that bad yeah and i have a very sneaking suspicion there's a person sitting in this room with a list that might very well be the same that things go on the list never do we want it happens doesn't it i mean there's just too many things like it's list it's really a list of things that you'll never live long enough to see you just come here we all say there's only so many hours in a day but you don't want to upset you don't want to upset your family or friends and they say you know i'm watching this it's great and you say it's on the list yes and really what you want to say is there's no list there is no list that program you've just mentioned is not going on the list i will never watch it and if the truth be told when i hang up this phone i won't even remember what you've just said what we do is we say it's on the list i'm gonna record that off the broadcast Greg and i'm gonna put it on my phone and then i'm just gonna play it anytime something there is no list in my defense i do actually have a list on my phone but it's as long as my arm and if i ever get through it it'll be america honestly yeah and will a program say free this is like the midwitch cuckoo does that go to the bottom of the list or is there a is there a there's no real rank in order i'm not gonna lie no i just i just so there's stuff really in the mid table there just it's never gonna happen i'm drowning in a list that is i'll make a note it's like i'll make a note of newer shows that i've recently come out that i will try and watch a list within a list just because you know don't listen don't listen to greg he's just he's just because emma is us all we all except emma has a list within the list i do have a list i can't i can't deny that okay uh is that in your iphone it is yeah the minus online i use that tv calendar app and it's brilliant for ad you just click add on question about iphone users uh and this is not really end why do you put all your passwords in your phone uh iphone users put their passwords in the notes of a phone but then you can you can lock that note though who does oh i i i only find that you could do that was a password for the lock that's in your ipad no i that's like i don't think android users do this i don't think we make a list of our usernames and passwords and put them in a place where everyone knows where they are in your phone iphone users do so we've already had an attack on oven users and clocks now you're moving on to attack an iphone i mean are you trying to be controversial this morning is it is this your get off get off the air if a lot of catching up to do with other programs yes now your time you know we have we have to controversy creates cash so you know i'm trying to mix it up and of course yeah these are the sound bites these are the sound bites that happen uh right okay um so yellowstone season four is starting a rerun i presume on rt2 on sunday night of season four half eleven because i think that the the show on rt1 on sunday nights i think so this is obviously the summer rerun i finished season one last night i really do really love the show love this show i'm so glad that i finally listened to all those Kevin costner one of Kevin costner it's basically an updated Dallas is the best way i can describe but it's about a family they're trying to protect their ranch there's all sorts of interests vested against them and he's he's basically playing g jr but he's jd instead slightly different and he does very really reached didn't he really reached he does some very bad things like i mean it's not just blackmail it's like murder happens on the show quite a lot they kill people every week but it's so well written and he's so good and they're all so good that you just it's like shows like justified or something like that where is it in that space i was literally going to ask you whether it was more like that or more like a a soap opera oh it's very soapy but it's it's also like justified where one of the two main characters on justified was the bad guy yeah but we loved him and we invested in him and dexter was a bad guy and the soprano is a bad guy i started this this is our city or something i might dump that and start oh that's the wire one yeah i've heard of that it's supposed to be very good no it's not pulling you know it's not pulling you in with those ones where people say it's got a great soundtrack or something you know they're not really enjoying it but everyone else is they feel they watch has a great soundtrack the original not not the dvd uh okay so yeah i give it a huge thumbs up always eight or eight out of ten some nine out of ten it's a bit soap opera-ish and it's a bit melodramatic sometimes but i always go back for the next episode i'm looking for i'm going to roll right into season two castor is brilliant the cast is brilliant i can totally get why people love it okay yellowstone fans get out your phones is the infrared treat does it maintain its momentum in seasons two and three uh or possibly four we're not sure if it's new or rerun uh but the yellowstone fans tell us is he in for a treat so you're full marks i'm definitely going to start that soon i think maybe you know when the night starts shortly a little bit it's a bit easier yeah uh do you all viewing habits change somewhere to winter emma much um yeah i would say so definitely and i think you can notice it across definitely across tress through tv like with bbc one and things i think there's summer programs you can definitely notice them pull back and then when it gets to september up over hi greg totally agree with emma i love google box it's my friday night thing too but like the ordinary on more so than the celebrity one which you did too you said that i like both but i would i have more of an attachment to the you may as well send that text in i like the irish goggle box and the cavern brothers are very good as well i find it better than the uk one now have you watched the irish one i've seen bits of it and it didn't drag your win is it because it felt like a remake of your favorite show kind of yeah i i think with those sorts of things whenever they start to branch off then into different countries i just have a loyalty to the original kind of way but like first dates and stuff it just doesn't yeah yeah it's just not the same sort of thing yeah okay radio okay we're going to take a quick break don't forget coming up a little later i'm going to tell you what the weather is going to be like for the northwest for this weekend and see what the forecasters are predicting for the next few days as well as we head into the

put your passwords in the notes uh hi great did any of you watch the doc episode of google box i just thought i'd seen everything until i saw that i fell off my chair laughing does that ring a bell am i say that again the doc episode oh yes i know what they're on about yeah okay should we leave that i feel like it's too early in the day to talk about that sort of thing but yes i know what you're on about uh greg slib google box arland brought in to brought it to a new level when they had the cast of daddy's home too on uh wil ferrell and mark wallberg and mel gibson and john livrow well that must have been the american version to view the irish shows including monday in fair city etc although that may have happened after going on a pub crawl in dobla maybe they needed that lol we're big fans of john aren't we uh john let's go yeah we're always good and everything yeah it's very good isn't it like it's just one of those it's just one of those isn't it yeah it really is right um what do you want to talk about next on your list ama oh there's there's so much so much there's a few things i would say possibly sharewood which has started on bbc one it was started on monday and tuesday and there's two so there's two episodes so far out of six and it's written by james graham who you might know he wrote a show a couple of years ago it started actually just at the beginning of covid pandemic called quiz which was about the coughing scandal and who wants to be a millionaire that is something i want to watch it was during the week because i've gotten to this situation now right where i'm watching because i can't figure out to watch i'm watching who wants to be a millionaire on great tv every single night every single night and depending on my mood i'll start it on plus one because there's another episode yeah or if i think right on only watch one and i'm starting to get the answers right now because you've seen it already this is i recognize the contestants and i still go out at around 800 or 500 quid uh but that's i and so i was doing that during the week again because that's too late to start a film yeah um and i'm watching classic who wants to be a millionaire anyway so this show quiz is not what we're talking about but you've reminded me i actually have a relation to that because whenever i watched quiz i've it reminded me how good who wants to be a millionaire is so then for about i would say six months if there was nothing on tv or if i was just you know going to bed maybe 10 minutes later i would pop on like one of those channels and and then i started like you i started to recognize the contestants and i was like okay this is where i need to stop if i'm recognizing the answers and stuff but yeah then you watch it like in the episodes of 20 years old and sometimes like it's an older person and you go you know and once chris chris tyrant has this thing where he mimics people right yes yeah uh and once you've noticed that every time he does phone a friend and they go oh hello chris and he goes oh hello chris you know you can't unwatch it every single time yeah you know so i just watched that back in the day and i don't off what but that was a good show back in the day with chris tyrant it was yeah yeah i i would recommend watching the drama on it it was very very good um so anyway sharewood is based on true events it's based on two killings that took place in 2004 in noddingham and it's basically about so the first episode focuses on the first killing and it was a man who was shot in the street with a crossbow and then the neighbours find him dead the next morning um and it's all about the divides so obviously in the 1980s there was a minor strike and it's all about the divisions between the police and minors who wanted to strike and minors who wanted to keep on working and it's just about those like political divides and community divides and it kind of brings everything back up to the surface again even though it was 20 30 odd years ago and it's one of those shows where because there's so many you know recognizable British actors you will see everyone in the show and you go oh i know them from such and such and you'll spend about 10 minutes going where do i know them from so i feel like in some ways that's or in finuda's case three days yeah i mean it's not here to defend herself i defend her for sure the 28 degrees will ease her pain go on i feel like at times that can be distracting but i feel like with this show it's worthwhile because the cast is so brilliant the writing is really good um it's setting noddingham so they have all their you know kind of slang and lingo that they use down in that part of the uk and yeah it's it's quite unusual in the sense that the killer is revealed or at least one of one of the killers is two killers and the first one is revealed at the end of the first episode so it's not really a who don't it because you know it's more of a why don't it and like the you know the kind of knowledge about the history and like the psyche of everyone and it's interesting because in that woodwitch cuckoo the midwitch midwitch sorry yeah uh the you i have a struggle to find it because of the name the first scene in that is a scene from episode six which is evidence so it's not unusual is it sort of show something and then it's the journey how you got there yeah yeah it's a bit of faith in your writing you have to have a bit of faith oh yeah but i feel like james grimm is a brilliant writer and he definitely pulls this off and actually i was listening to a podcast this morning about this show and they described it that made me laugh as mera beast town meets emmerdale and i feel like that's the perfect story of this show is the only way to describe it now yeah so uh it's nothing to do with uh it's nothing to do with robin hood then no no it's just i don't i just i mean i've only seen the first episode so i don't know why they chose that method of murder i don't know why that was quite interesting though uh yeah okay right so it's still airing it's weekly yes monday's and tuesday's it's not a binge you have to watch you have to weigh each week share with um what are you giving it out of 10 i would give it a strong eight so far right okay that's impressive isn't it yeah uh colis says i have an iphone and i updated my oven but it has no clock so i miss my clock too plus irish goggle box is far better but you see listen once uh in a week or so you'll forget you ever had a clock on your oven i'm sure uh and fair play to have on the iphone anyway i hope you enjoyed charging it uh any word on any any word on when uh the phrase a reboot is coming to paramount sounds like that sounds like have they filmed that yet no that's been talked about i mean that's been in development for about three years as far as i know a long time long time they're talking about that i have no in like i do regularly look because i love frazier i would love to see it rebooted and done well did the dad in that pass away recently the dad did pass away yeah but apparently one of the potential scenarios i read which did sound very good was that frazier is now the dad in the new show and his son fredrick has grown up to be a blue collar worker so you now have the dynamic of the the reversal from the that sound if that was what they're doing it's clever because you get the phrase a character but they're not trying to feed you it was the main character although it might be the main character he might be still yeah i think we're setting that up nicely but i have no word of it actually being filmed around through that so maybe someone out there is a head to me on that but i i still think it's in development i haven't yeah i haven't heard anything concrete yet about that now is the elvis film worth going to see uh it looks good train looks fantastic i've heard i've heard i've heard mixed reviews on it i think people i think i think it's gonna i think i want i definitely want to see it but the criticism i've heard is about tom hanks's character but apparently it's quite loyal to uh the person's playing in real life you know and and sometimes and a bit about the makeup and all that kind of stuff but elvis the actor is getting rave reviews i think if you like elvis you'll enjoy the film i think yeah casual elvis fans perhaps then are the ones that might be harder to please yeah i think the problem with these the problem with these biopics sometimes is that if they don't get if they you know lead actor whoever's playing the person if they don't get it spot on yeah then people just write it off and i feel like yeah it's quite a tricky thing to navigate and and a virus that's sweeping through the critics in relation to that one is they're saying that he might not be the spit of him but he gets right and gets the nuances you know that's the most important thing you need to get like the facial expressions the way they speak like obviously with elvis like if he's actually singing himself or if he's you know lip syncing whatever you know those sorts of expressions that like i feel like those those things are more important than looks yeah okay i call it says what about god's favorite idiot well i'm fine thank you for asking is that a program it must be i have never heard of that i just thought it was someone saying hello right okay um we'll do one before the break with you i i i want to say westworld okay westworld but you don't want to say i do well westworld is coming back i'm afraid you might make me watch it because i did watch the first two is there are they going out with the fourth now fourth season yeah the fourth season is coming up it's on the 27th of uh june it's back and what they're doing on sky atlantic is they're showing the old episodes and i'm actually re-watching season three at the moment because i really do love it so i'm watching it uh and loving it i'm part of the reason and i was thinking of you part of the reason i watch season three is when i realized season four was coming up i thought i have no idea what happened in season three but it's a really good show to re-watch and i do love it and i i mean who's what's not to love it did not say that season three was over complicated or something no it's not the best season definitely i mean season one was the best you had you had a fantastic self-contained story and arguably you could say that you could this is one of those to leave the should have lifted that then with season one because you know it was it was a really good self-contained story but nonetheless they did continue season three has the robots out in the real world and it's okay no watching season two then it's full of action full of action and adventure and so what and and it's really good and i like it and you've got evan rachel wood on a motorcycle that that comes when she whistles for it or calls it it's a dry i know and then you know she's like so badass my children won't even come to me when i call her but imagine you had a motorbike that would do it greg or a whistle i might start i don't know why i said whistle she doesn't whistle someone's gonna text in she doesn't whistle but she summons the bike and it comes right 08 660 25 000 uh let us know what you think of what we're talking about or race your own uh store your own whatever is obviously it's not out in the cinema yet no one's seen that i don't i think it's been released very soon yeah there was Jurassic Park out yet yeah right tell us what did you watch Jurassic Park 08 660 25 000 please let us know what you thought um it's against another one i just don't read critics critics reviews of things anymore i literally it's just the only thing i go for is the audience score and everything right i just don't really care for what critics say you know because i think they read too much into it sometimes sometimes they can get it really wrong yeah of course yeah i think so i'm gonna film like that i mean i'm not a fan of those movies i've never seen them so maybe i would like them but again the critics can probably overanalyze something that doesn't need to be overanalyzed like i don't know if to review you need to really critically compare it to the first one or the second one you know i think i should i think you should go with it and say right let me approach this as a standalone film and then see what i think of that and then i'll put it into the context of what went before does that make sense of course it does yeah fair yeah absolutely don't seem to do that and i think that's what happens with an awful lot of remakes they don't give the remaking chance because instantly they're comparing they're comparing it to the original and they may have love for that or a particular protection of it right so what we'll do is we'll take a break we'll get the weather then right okay and then we'll come back with more from Emma and more from mycomb

so whether he's really into gardening or just really into himself we've got father's day covered leadle more for you okay so it's time to connect once again this week with alan all rightly from carl or weather to find out what the weather has installed for us so this weekend and into next week and it's a supposed a different weather for different parts of the country today at least anyway alan yes certainly some very warm air down in the far south east of the country but it really is the far southeast of the country and that rain that you had this morning that cleared off has moved down across the country as well so generally not a bad afternoon in dunny gall and a nice evening as well but temperatures well back down to maybe 13 or 14 degrees and feeling fresher but the weekend is not looking too bad so saturday is going to be largely dry there could be just the odd little shower here or there but a lot of dry weather and also some sunny spells as well temperatures still struggling though probably only about 14 or 15 degrees sunday will start off cloudy and some showers but that should clear up as well and some sunny spells and make tire tries a little tricky maybe for some of the rally if those showers do hit stages but generally not too bad just the odd shower and temperatures back up a little bit but the wind will be northerly on sunday so it will have that fresher bite to it on sunday with a northerly breeze monday looks like a warmer and better day and just the odd shower again a lot of uncertainty though greg once we go beyond shoes they're really it does look like a few showers but not really any kind of sign of nice blue skies settle weather but also not really any bad weather kind of something in between just the odd shower without any real temperatures increasing and how is this weather compared to your average june because you know we all have opinion people say it knows normally warm or it's not warmed or sunny till tonight what's the what does the the history books tell us yeah i mean average temperatures for this part of june will be around 18 or 19 degrees so you know obviously some parts are above that and some parts are below but we're not too far away from it i think some people maybe expect we should be getting 25 or 26 degrees but that's not the case and i know especially when you look across the water and see london maybe getting 32 degrees today if people think that that's what we should be getting but pretty much we are seeing kind of average and actually a lot of the country is drier than average we haven't seen the rainfall that we would normally see for the last three months so we're not doing too bad maybe we've been spoiled by a couple of good summers and our expectations are just a little bit too high all right alan people can follow uh carlo whether on your social media is i presume yeah twitter facebook instagram etc i'll be posting updates i don't know riley thanks very much chat to you next week thanks great all right i call us says greg i'm doing exactly what you're doing with who wants to be a millionaire i would say there's a lot of us i would say of course we we could probably start some sort of a facebook group uh i'll start it yeah but we'd also need a facebook group for who wants to be a millionaire on um the regular channel and then a plus one because otherwise it would be that'd be two facebook pages could you not just make the same post an hour later i don't have the brain to do such a thing elvis thank you very much is that on the 24th of june okay so that's uh it's going to be a big one for next week a lot of we dates heading that trainer does look good and i like elvis i remember there was a i like elvis biopics there was a great elvis tv show back in the early 90s it only lasted a season rte showed it the actor was very good but it was a really good show about the early days of elvis i like elvis this good story i remember like my eldest he used to watch i used to watch the concerts and all within when he was a baby right now he's an elvis fan so cool so it does work you can influence uh it wasn't done purposely i don't know it's just to try and expose them to different types of music uh and uh both of them don't know what the story is going to be with the third but both of the the the what grown-up ones now like uh have a such a eclectic mix of you know tasty music so i'm taking some credit for that we'll see what i can do with hudson right okay uh hi greg still savoring stranger things after bringing binging season three uh sometimes you watch something too quick and not have a a matter like uh your entertainment slot okay but you can watch things too quick i agree uh but i'm enjoying flight attendant two we own the city as it was 20 years since the wire and recently uh 15 years since the prannels as you can't forget fade to black scene but give journey a new lease of life indeed i remember i was dj'ing at the time and everyone was asking me to play don't stop believing i couldn't understand why and then it says what was in a tv show i says yeah but why would that all of a sudden you know mean you want to hear it you know that sort of so uh yeah listen i'm gonna stick with we own the city it's it's it's it is good it is good that's some mixer shows uh kevin's watching there right okay um we we did show it with you last so i think we'll go to you miss your leddie okay um bernie max show bernie max uh bernie max is deceased now as we were talking just as i played that pre-recorded interviews with the weatherman yes he wasn't available he wasn't available at this time so that's fair it's a cheat it's a cheat of radio but go on anyway bernie max show uh one of my favorite sitcoms uh he did it about 20 years ago around for five seasons i remember i think was e4 used to show on friday nights i definitely have memories of watching it with my housemates at the time and we loved it and i love bernie max i thought he was very very funny as you say he's passed away it was a sitcom about uh and i normally don't gravitate towards family based sitcoms as a rule so this is the sort of one that i would like bernie max character he played himself in this very successful happily married man no kids who winds up having to look after his sister's three kids and that's the story and he hates them but you know it's hate in inverted commas and the way the show was done was and this was around the same time as shows like malcom in the middle which i think it was influence a big influence on it bernie started and closed every episode in his office at the house but he was talking to the camera and he'd always start off like america i'm gonna kill those kids and then he tell you why and usually it was because they had ruined his trip to vegas or they'd ruined his poker game or they'd ruined whatever and i loved it i thought it was funny i thought he was funny i thought the three kids were brilliant and it was it went on for five seasons i thought it was very very good it's on amazon if anybody wants to revisit it or if you've never seen it and you want a damn good comedy fenuna's always saying that she's a half hour stuff that's like quite a hundred and ten episodes probably and they're very funny and you probably people know bernie mack from the charlie's angels movies and a few deer and his own stand-up um and he's just a very funny guy very very funny guy he passed away far too soon it's it's it's the delivery almost as much as the content the content's good please got that stuff you're absolutely right akhola says any recommendations for a good father's day movie now really we'd have to find out what kind of movies the father likes yes he has quite a general question i mean any of the james fun films maybe it depends who they're watching it with exactly you have to please everyone yes uh ps i love you we don't know what he might like well we can't put people into you know we have to tell us what his favorite film is and we'll tell you uh we'll suggest what he should try to make a father-y themed type father of the bride yeah there's an obvious one yeah good one yeah good one in the name of the father well now you're just coming up it's fatherhood what about a tv show like father ted there you go okay tell us what kind of films he does like uh your dad likes and we'll see what we can come up with uh big boys on channel four emma yes i loved this and i cannot wait to finish it um so this is six episodes it's on channel four it's finished airing but you can get it all on all four on the all four player and it's written by jack rick and it's based on his own experiences and he actually narrates quite a bit of it and he has a really really great sense of humor um it's brilliantly written so it's set in 2013 so there's lots of great pop culture references from that time like um gavin and stacy's mentioned take me out as mentioned you know the pin on your sky remote that so his dad has passed away jack who has played by don lewell and who was the we english fellow from dairy girls and he makes this joke that now his dad has passed away he doesn't know the pin to the skybox so he can't watch anything that's 18 plus rated which i thought was a great way to open it like spoiler zero zero zero zero if you forget that right one two three four if you forget it write it down in your notes on your right there you go this is the solution to everything and you know it's there yeah so yeah so it's based on his life and don lewell plays him and like i said he's grieving the loss of his dad and he had deferred his first year at university for a year because he was still grieving he couldn't bring himself to go so it's about him eventually going to university and he meets this uh 25 year old guy called danny and they end up bunking in together at university there's no room at halls so they're placed in this random shed and they're away from everyone else they can't get access to the parties and halls and their regions so they end up forming a really close knit bond because they're kind of isolated from everyone else is the uh bereavement just part of the setup or is that part of the show of that no i would say it's quite i mean it's not focused so much that it kind of takes away from the comedy i feel like the balance is both very well but it is mentioned like it's i'm thinking afterlife here if you know what i mean i'm i i mean the right space i haven't watched either yeah in terms of the description i mean there is like so he has a really close relationship with his mom and so it kind of you know it so the university bit is set in 2013 his dad passed away in 2011 so there's like little tiny montages of those in between two years where they're like sat and so for crying then all of a sudden they're laughing two minutes later so it shows their relationship as well which i think is really lovely right it sounds all kind of real is that it feels very real very authentic and obviously because it's set on jack it's set on jack rook's life so you know it feels very real very authentic and it's just it's just a lovely show like it's just such a nice one okay that is big boys and channel four the excellent all four uh is it not caught it's all for the app is it yeah you can get it it's very usable and you can use it in this country you don't have to just when you mention afterlife i just want to say i when i talked about afterlife afterlife a few weeks ago i was watching season two and i didn't like it that much i was very lukewarm i'm now in the middle of season three and i have to say i love season three there's a big change in the show in terms of how he tells the stories and the focus he moves to the other characters he really focuses on the other characters season three and i love it and i am really invested and now that i'm coming to the end of it you were saying about looking forward to the end of things i'm not looking forward i don't want to do it really loving it out the last five minutes of that i saw well so i'm just telling you i was watching i started watching 12 monkeys during the week so i thought no the movie yeah and it's set in the future in 2022 right okay let's take in mind we can't actually find anywhere to plug our electric cars into right because they're all out of order or they don't exist uh and it's awful when you watch a film that you've watched first time round and it's set in the future and you're actually living in that future i know that's not like that at all no but yes that's the classic joke where are all the flying cars that we promised when we were kids that's it come here i have to i think i have to cut it there except for now break to take that's okay um so let's run through sure what big thumbs up from you i'm on that one uh big boys another uh one you enjoyed very much uh this is my house in the bbc one you wanted to talk about that something a little bit different do you want a minute on that yeah i feel like this is one of those shows that on paper it shouldn't work but it does so it's every week it's different people so there's four different people and they all claim to have the same name and there's a house and they all claim that this is their house finula talked about this one as well i think it's really really good and then there's a celebrity panel who watch kind of videos of them going through the house and picking up different things and then having an anecdote being like oh i bought this in greece a holiday five years ago and you're trying to figure out who the real homeowner is and then at the end the celebrity panel they pick a person and whether they're right or wrong that person wins this is a real sleeper a lot of people love this but it's not talked about you know around the water period i have to say it's brilliant all right okay this is my house bbc one right yellow stone rt two thumbs up thumbs up westworld now tv a return to form well i love i'm loving season three although i still say it's the weakest if you're comparing it to season one you know because antony hopkins was in season
