'You're getting on, you should start thinking about having children', 'you'll regret it when you're older', 'if you don't want children, you're selfish.'

These are comments often passed by family, friends, even GPs to people who for some reason or another don't have children.

Cork woman, Brenda Dennehy has always known that she didn't want children. Now at the age of 36, she has been experiencing huge levels of judgement for her decision.

On Dermot and Dave, we heard from Brenda about why she decided to speak out about wanting to remain child-free along with other TodayFM listeners from around the country who have similar experiences.

And they're not the only family in Ireland to welcome a new bundle of fur into the world over the past couple of months. There were over 200,000 dog licenses issued in the past year with many people around Ireland deciding to make the leap during lockdown.

Sadly, there is a dark side to the boom in dog ownership. From puppy farms to owner surrenders, charities are reporting a huge increase in dogs needing their help.

Inspired by her own experience of getting Riley, Lucy has dug into the world of becoming a dog owner and it's documented in a new show 'Lucy's Puppy Problems' on Virgin Media One.

Lucy joined Dermot and Dave to chat about some of the stories she heard and of course, we all got an update on Riley!

It's a staple of an Irish summer. ''Do you want Sprinkles with that? Or maybe just some chocolate sauce.'' There's a lot to be said about the '99'. So simple yet so beautiful!

When it was initially announced that world number 2 Naomi Osaka wouldn't be doing press at this year's French Open, a lot was made of her decision.

Column inches were filled around the obligation of top sports stars to perform for the media during tournaments, organisers of The French Open fined her for failing to show up for a news conference, and she was threatened with being removed from the competition.

 [audio mp3="https://media.radiocms.net/uploads/2021/06/01113618/NaomiOsaka_0106.mp3"][/audio]

Now, the four time Grand Slam winner has herself withdrawn from the Open, and revealed that she has been suffering with depression and anxiety and will be taking a break from the game.

Phil Egan from Off The Ball joined Dermot and Dave to explain how we got to this point, and sports psychologist Máire Treasa Ní Cheallaigh detailed the importance of looking after the minds of our sports stars as much as we do their bodies.

 

It’s mad that you can pull out of a press conference with a broken arm, or a pulled hamstring without a doctor’s report. But if your mind is injured, you’re punished and forced to ‘prove’ it. We’ve a long way to go.
