The Friday edition of Morning Focus brought the week to a close with a feast of interviews and discussion including a look at the problem of anti-social behaviour in and around Ennis Cathedral.
Morning Focus producer, Fiona McGarry, joined Gavin in studio to report on the topic. Fiona visited the Cathedral on foot of concerns raised by callers to the station.
There, she spoke to former Ennis Town Councillor Michael Guilfoyle who is a resident of the nearby Turnpike.
Michael called on the authorities to do more to ensure elderly people visiting the Cathedral don’t feel intimidated.

Later, Gavin was joined in studio by Liz Price who is a writer from Ennis. She’s just published an anthology of short stories called ‘The Fish Woman’. She told Gavin why the theme of dementia and memory are particularly close to her heart.
