It's a once in a generation bird and you could be the person who gets to name them.

The first female white-tailed eagle to fledge in Ireland in 100 years was born in Co Cork's Glengarriff Woods Nature Reserve 11 weeks ago. Her mother is one of 100 birds who were brought from Norway over the past number of years as part of a reintroduction project for the rare bird.

She already weighs 6.8kgs and is in good health, despite the fact that one of her parents hasn't been seen at the nest in some weeks.

While you currently can follow her progress on the live Glengarriff EagleCam, soon she'll be flying the nest and before she goes, you have the chance to name her.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Clare Heardman from Glengarriff Woods Nature Reserve explained more about the as yet unnamed eagle and how you can submit your name suggestions.

Clodagh O'Hagan was on a beach in Croatia on her holidays when she decided that it was time to start trying for a baby. It's a big decision for anyone, but for Clodagh, it was a monumental choice as she was going to go it alone.

While she had known she'd wanted to have a baby since she was in her mid-30s, it was a call from her doctor after she turned 40 that pushed her to make the decision to find a sperm donor and become a solo mother by choice.

After 18 months, Clodagh welcomed baby Frank at the start of May and he's a little dote!

We all like to get the better of these AI robots that we let into our homes.

If we aren't trying to trick Alexa, we're trying to get the better of Siri and today on Dave's world he revealed how to break the iPhone operating system.

Like everything in Dave's world, it all started with a video on the internet. The video tells people to change the nickname which Siri responds to - simply ask cal you 'ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha'.

If you do that, Siri won't be able to cope and come up with some hilarious responses.
