As airlines resume travel and airports reopen, the debate all week has been whether or not we should consider going on holidays abroad.

Now it looks that social welfare recipients will not be paid if they choose to leave the country.

This morning, the Irish Daily Star reported that those who are on the Pandemic Unemployment Payment will not receive payment if they leave the country to go on holidays, including the time you will be required to self-isolate when you return.

Laura Colgan, who broke the story for the Irish Daily Star, spoke to Dermot and Dave about the move by new Minister for Social Protection Heather Humphreys.

Back in May, Dermot and Dave spoke to Karen Vickers who had received heartbreaking news about her daughter Olivia.

Olivia or 'Livie' as she known to Karen and her partner Keith, was born in August 2019 and is on the surface a happy, bubbly and chatty baby. However, Livie has been diagnosed with SMA  (Spinal Muscular Atrophy), type 1. SMA is a rare condition, affecting one in every 10,000 babies and type 1 is the most severe type.  While there is no cure, Karen and Keith are hoping to raise €2 million to receive a specialist treatment in the United States.

Since we last spoke to Karen, people around the country, including amazing Today FM listeners have been arranging events and raising thousands of Euro for the campaign.

Now, there's been a massive development for Livie and her family which is incredibly bittersweet.

This morning, Karen spoke to Dermot and Dave about the news that the parents of a little boy from Laois have made a massive donation.

Dan Donoher, who is a little boy from Ballybrittas in Co Laois, also has SMA Type 1 and also requires the treatment which is known as Zolgensma. However, his parents, Niall and Aisling received devastating news over the weekend that he is no longer a candidate for the treatment due to a virus he contracted that created antibodies that render the treatment useless.

Niall and Aisling have done something incredibly selfless and have decided to donate €1 million that they have raised towards Dan's treatment to Livie. Karen says that she was left 'speechless' by the news and revealed that they have just over €400,000 left to raise.

The earlier Livie can get the treatment, the more beneficial it would be and the better little Livie's life could be.

If you'd like to donate, visit the A Better Life for Livie GoFundMe page.

Just like most other tourist attractions in Ireland, the Blarney Stone is back open.

But, the tourist site which is famous for kissing is now subject to new Covid-19 rules. This morning on Dermot & Dave the lads spoke to Paul O'Sullivan, the marketing manager for the Blarney Stone, to revealed the changes that have been introduced at the iconic landmark.

The new rules include:

Working with Enva. An environmental company who deal with Covid solutions for a return to work. We will now be using a cleanser that is W.H.O approved and will kill 99.9% of viruses, germs, bacteria etc that may be on the stone. This has been tested on the stone to show its effectiveness in killing viruses but also that it is safe for people to come in contact with.

This new spray will be used on the stone and allowed to dry for a period of 1 minute. A systematic review published in the Journal of Hospital Infection demonstrated that a (H2O2) concentration of 0.5% achieved a Log4 (99.99%) inactivation of human coronavirus HCoV229E within 1 minute.

To maintain social distancing within the castle, the number of people in the building will be limited.

There will be numerous hand sanitiser stations throughout the castle, before entering the stairs and also leaving, meaning people can clean their hands if they have used the handrails.

A staff member at regular intervals throughout the day will spray the stairwells, handrails and rope with anti-bacterial cleanser.

The person holding people kissing the stone, will be wearing a protective face shield and gloves. The gloves will be changed/cleaned after each person.

40 percent of Ryanair’s schedule resumes with 1,000 flights taking to the sky across Europe.

80 of the airline’s fleet will take off from Dublin Airport - up from 12 during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Last week, Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan said he people shouldn’t travel unless it was essential, fearing holidays abroad may result in a spike in Covid-19 cases.

This morning on Dermot & Dave the lads spoke to listeners about their summer holiday plans and it's safe to say that the nation is divided.
