After history was made with last Friday’s referendum vote to repeal the Eighth Amendment, Monday’s show had analysis, reaction and debate on what happens next.
The show opened with a discussion of the political aspects of the vote with Fianna Fáil TD, Dep Timmy Dooley and Fine Gael Senator Martin Conway.
Michael Leahy spoke on behalf of the Clare Pro Life campaign.
Then there was a discussion of the future of the BreastCheck screening service, following concerns in recent weeks about a rise in litigation. Gavin was joined by Cllr Mary Howards (FG member of the Ennis MD, Clare Co Co).
There was further discussion of the referendum result and the impact of the Home to Vote campaign with Gillian Malone-Johnstone and Eoin Cronin who travelled home to vote ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ respectively.
There was as break from political discussion when Gavin heard from Fiona Carty a cast member from the musical ‘Shout!’ which celebrates the swinging ’60s in London.

These letters will be the topic of a talk by Paul O’Brien (from Mary Immaculate College, Limerick) on Tuesday next (May 29) at Teach Ceoil, Grace Street, Kilrush, 8pm).
