It's finally here. We can no longer laugh at people's unkempt appearance on the telly, we can no longer blame lockdown on our own hirsute ways. Barbers and hairdressers are opening their doors and one barber had a very early start this morning.

Ciaran McAllister from The Grafton Barber chain spoke to Dermot and Dave about opening up at a minute past midnight this morning and how things will look for them as we all look forward to a bit of grooming.

While it's unlikely that most people will be travelling abroad this year, there's so much potential on this lovely island we call home.

This morning, Eugene Garrihy of Doolin2Aran ferries and Dublin Bay Cruises spoke to Dermot and Dave about getting back out on the open sea with tourists, the incredible natural life you can spot while out and about, and the importance of spending our money at home this summer.

It's been nearly four months since most people in Ireland will have stayed in a hotel, and the world has changed utterly since.

Today is the beginning of phase three of reopening Ireland, and that means that hotels, restaurants, cafes, hairdressers and lots of other small businesses around the country are throwing up the shutters and getting back to work.

To celebrate, Dermot and Dave went on the road to Clare where they spent the night in Hotel Doolin to see what the hotel experience is like post-lockdown.

Hotel manager, Donal Minihane, spoke to Dermot and Dave about the practices they've put into place and what you can expect from a hotel stay this summer.

You can't travel to Doolin without taking a look at one of the biggest parts of its history and culture which is the importance of music in the area.

Our own Sean Reidy from the Dermot and Dave team spoke to local historian Martin Brennan about an incredible time where 30,000-40,000 people would travel from around the world to attend one of the biggest festivals in Europe.

Are you one of the millions of people wondering what happened to Connell and Marianne from Normal People? Or maybe you're missing Gangs of London?

This week in Dermot and Dave's Ask Me Anything hot-seat was Colin Stafford-Johnson, a wildlife cameraman who has traveled the world looking for the most rare, and beautiful animals.

He revealed all about getting up close and personal with lions and the animal he waited for months for but never got to see. And Colin had some tips for those looking to get into the field.

It's been 30 years but last night, Liverpool finally became Premier League champions. It's a great day for Liverpool fans...it's not such a great day for our resident Manchester United fan Dave.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave this morning, Ireland and Liverpool legend Ray Houghton spoke about the incredible feat of Jürgen Klopp and his men.

And there was, of course, a little bit of roasting our Dave.

We feel codded! Turns out a bunch of bananas is the incorrect expression.

But did you know the real name is so much weirder than a bunch?

Dave's World on Dermot and Dave peeled it back to reveal the truth...sorry

As one of the world's most fashionable men, David Beckham has built a career as something of a clothes horse.

But he's got nothing on the original.

While out with his equally fashionable other half, the former soccer star paid homage to Friends and caught the attention of one of the stars of the show.

Our Maria had all the goss!
