    A most eventful week in Irish politics!...

    As has been widely reported this morning (Thursday), pressure is now seriously mounting on Michael Martin's leadership of Fianna Fail, following three of the party's youngest TDs voicing concerns about its attitude to voters. The three have also been supported by party elders Willie O'Dea and Sean O'Fearghail; the latest blow to the Taoiseach who, not too long ago, weathered the storm of the Jim Gavin controversy. Overall, it's been a very eventful few weeks for Government with the fuel protests, blockades and shortages dominating the news and political agenda. This morning, 'Deise Today' reflected on 'the fortnight that was' with three political stalwarths; John Drennan, political columnist for 'The Irish Mail on Sunday and 'The Irish Daily Mail', Pat Leahy, political editor of 'The Irish Times' AND former Government minister Shane Ross.

    As widely reported this morning (Friday), the blockades of fuel depots in Limerick and Galway, as well as at the country's only refinery in Cork, are starting to lead to fuel shortages countrywide. Yesterday, service stations in the south and west ran out of diesel and petrol and by this morning more than a hundred forecourts had run dry, said Fuels for Ireland. Here in Waterford, the impact is also being felt with major queues in forecourts yesterday afternoon and reports some filling stations had run out of diesel. Mary Butler, Government Chief Whip, Minister of State and TD for Waterford, was in studio this morning for Deise Today, reacting to the situation.

    Councillor: Probe into Mount Suir balcony incident will be "thorough"

    A formal investigation into the Mount Suir apartment complex in Waterford City is continuing, with councillors indicating that the probe will be comprehensive and far-reaching following last week’s serious incident. A three-year-old boy and his seven-year-old sister fell from a balcony at Block C of the complex and were hospitalised. Sinn Féin councillor Jim Griffin was on 'Deise Today' this morning with Damien and he confirmed that the investigation began almost immediately after the incident and is now progressing with input from independent experts. He said engineers are examining the entire structure “from the ground up,” not just visible elements like balconies or façades. Councillors held a closed (in-camera) meeting on Thursday afternoon, led by Metropolitan Mayor Adam Wyse, to review the incident and the council’s response.

    How much to gift for a Confirmation or Communion?!

    Confirmation season is upon us and First Holy Communions are just around the corner too! For families of children involved, they have become very expensive events and it's difficult to achieve the balance of making the day special for your child, while not going over the top on the spend! But they can also be expensive occasions for extended family, friends and neighbours of the children; who have to question how much money to put in a card...how much is too little, or indeed, too much? This morning on 'Deise Today', we had a chat with Aileen Hickey, who is the CEO of Parentline to get her view. You can listen back to her chat with Damien by clicking on the image above.
