The idea of eloping has become more popular since Covid-19 hit.

Tens of thousands of weddings we cancelled across Ireland after the Government banned mass gatherings and closed hotels. For some couples this meant facing the heartbreak of having to push their big day indefinitely, while for others it was a sigh of relief for not having to worry about seating plans or who makes the guest list.

This morning on Dermot & Dave a listener contacted the show asking for advice on whether she should elope or not, after her wedding plans were ruined by the Coronavirus.

Her text lead to a huge influx of calls from people who had done something similar and regretted it. One listener told the lads how her family didn't speak to her for six months after eloping.

While another lady said her family were "angry" when she invited them to a birthday that doubled up as a wedding.

Hit play on the podcast below to hear just some of Dermot & Dave listeners marked their big day.

Alan Quinlan is best know as one of Ireland's most successful rugby players.

But recently he launched a new podcast for OTB Sports.

It came about after speaking openly of his battles with anxiety, depression and the general well-being of his mental health in the past.

The series will see Alan Quinlan's new will see him chat with a number of well-known personalities from the world of sport and beyond about their personal experiences.

Alan discusses the prospect of confronting mental health issues in the macho world of international rugby.

His first guest will be the All Blacks legend and 1987 Rugby World Cup winner, John Kirwan.

A former New Zealand winger who was officially knighted for his services to rugby and mental health in 2012.

John Kirwan's professional and sporting triumphs provided no immunity from the ravages of mental illness.

In an open and honest discussion he explores how he came to acknowledge that he had a problem and, crucially, how he acted in his best interests to help himself.

From almost jumping from a hotel window in an act of desperation to helping people the world over with their own personal battles.

The pair admitted that such confessions of vulnerability seemed particularly tough in the sporting world they inhabited.

Alan spoke to Dermot & Dave about the new podcast series this morning.

Given touring is off the cards at the moment, musicians are trying to come up with different things to do to pass the time. Limerick lads Hermitage Green used their time to take a much needed break away from the band (and each other).

Reunited this morning on Dermot and Dave, the lads explained why they needed the break and their excitement at getting back on stage.

Robbie Brady, Irish fans fixing people's cars...Robbie Keane in a limousine? Euro 2016 was the craic and a new TV show is looking back on when Irish fans won the hearts of France and Robbie Brady nearly gave us all a heart attack.

Our Maria told Dermot and Dave where you can catch that and all the best telly for the week ahead. And as it was the first time she'd seen the lads in three months, Maria gave her take on their lockdown 'dos'.

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.
