Tuesday was a busy show, with a good mix of news and human interests pieces.
The show began with Gavin’s daily round-up of what’s in the papers, followed by an interview with Senior Executive Engineer with Clare County Council Cyril Feeney and Cillian Murphy of Murphy Black’s Restaurant in Kilkee about the recent swimming ban in Kilkee.
Next up was a piece recorded by Gavin to highlight how scammers from around the globe are preying on vulnerable people by claiming their victims have one money in fake lotteries. Gavin rang one of these ‘lottos’ to determine what types of questions they ask and how they can use these answers for their own benefit.
Following that was Johnny O’Rourke of Clare Haven Services Ltd. who spoke to Gavin about the review which has been launched to examine legal fees for victims of domestic violence, which are seen as a contributing factor to a number of victims not seeking help. You can listen back to the interview in full with Johnny below:
After the news, Gavin spoke to Money Doctor John Lowe, who answered all of your financial queries and also spoke about how much we should be saving.
Gavin was then joined in studio by Peter O’Donoghue, Dean Power and Richard McGrath. Peter and Dean spoke about their upcoming concert tomorrow (August 2) in St. Colomba’s Church, Ennis before performing a beautiful duet, accompanied by Richard on the piano. You can listen back to their interview below:
After that, Gavin spoke to members of the Ennis Creative Writers Group, John Shannon, Elizabeth Starr, Donal O’Connell, Francis Bailey and Donaugh McNamara. The group spoke about their new booklet ‘Read me and Leave me’ which they have left in a number of cafés in Ennis for people to read. They also read some extracts of their work.
Finishing up the show was Clare County Dog Warden Frankie Coote who gave us our weekly Animal Welfare update.
