There's no doubt that this year has been incredibly difficult for all of us, but there are thousands of children around the country who have found themselves in a more vulnerable position than ever before.

We all need to look out for those vulnerable young people, children and their families, who have found themselves without the usual access to support networks which have been disrupted by the public health crisis.

Supporting Children is a campaign which highlights the various services which are available to these children, their families and the wider community.

Tanya Ward,  Chief Executive of Children’s Rights Alliance joined Dermot and Dave to explain what supports are out there and to remind people of the importance of contacting the relevant authorities if you have a concern about a young person.

By the time Liam Gildea was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2013, the Mayo man had been living with it for nearly 20 years.

Since the age of 16, Liam had been enduring long periods of lows followed by periods of what he later discovered was hypomania.

During the lows, he would encounter moments of severe depression but during the hypomania, Liam felt unstoppable, barely able to sleep and going a mile a minute.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Liam detailed how those periods of hypomania impacted on his life from his personality to his phone bill.

After a long road to diagnosis and treatment, Liam has found himself in a much happier place and has dedicated his life to helping others through his world with Aware.

As uncomfortable as it is for us to accept, death is very much part of our life.

Recently, actress Riley Keough announced that she had completed training as a 'end-of-life doula', something she was inspired to do after the tragic death of her own brother at the age of just 27.

An end-of-life doula's role is to guide the dying person and/or their loved ones through the final time in their life. They will provide things like emotional assistance, spiritual support and can also offer advice on things like the aftercare of the deceased and funeral planning.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Jade Egan, a fully trained end-of-life doula explained the process, her motivation for training in the field and how we can all learn to do death better.

There's no denying the fact that things have changed fundamentally over the past year, Covid has proved to many that working from home is not only a distant and future possibility but a way of life.

It's hard for many people to fathom going back to paying high rents, or commuting long hours, to work in city centres.

Now, the Government wants to further incentivise people to make the move to rural Ireland. Changes to planning, state-subsidised hackneys and remote working hotspots are just some of the ideas expected to be included in the plan.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, TodayFM's political correspondent Seán Defoe had more detail of what we can expect from the Government.
