It's the story that keeps on giving.

The zoo land formerly owned by Joe Exotic has been handed over to Carole Baskin.

A court order has awarded animal rights activist Baskin control of about 16 acres of land in Garvin County, Oklahoma, which is home to the GW Exotic Animal Memorial Park.

Exotic had transferred the park to his former business partner Jeff Lowe and his mother several years ago, but a judge has now ruled that this action was fraudulent.

Dublin Zoo has reopened to the public this morning, after being shut for 11 weeks.

The number of visitors has been limited to 500 at any one time, tickets will have to be pre-booked, while a new one-way system is in place.

The animals in Dublin Zoo have been without human admirers since March 12, but the gates have now reopened to  limited numbers and people are only permitted to walk in one direction, to allow for social distancing.

Tickets are available by pre-booking online only and there are just 2 visiting periods a day, with a maximum of 500 people allowed in per session

The first of those begins at 9.30am and ends at 1pm. The second session is from 2pm until 5.30.

All internal and enclosed spaces such as shops and animal houses will remain closed for the time being.

This morning on Dermot & Dave our reporter Kacey O'Riordan spoke to the lads about what kids were missing the most while the Zoo was closed.

COVID-19 has had a massive impact on the supply chain in the retail industry.

This morning on Dermot & Dave, the lads spoke to Cally Russell from Lost Stock, who revealed over $2bn USD worth of clothes orders have been cancelled in developing countries, with no payment being made to manufacturers. This means that workers aren't getting paid either. 

In Bangladesh, the garment industry accounts for 84% of the country's exports, with 2.28 million workers affected. 

This huge disruption in the supply chain is the reason we want to help.

Step in Lost Stock, a website which has taken the abandoned clothes and started to sell them in a gift box to help those affected by the halt in production.

A significant portion of each box to their mission of 'health, happiness and dignity for all'. Their work across 26 districts of Bangladesh is helping those who need it most. In response to COVID-19, their team of over 3,700 people has aided over 50,000 households with food and hygiene packages, distributed over 18,000 sets of PPE and installed 475 portable hand washing devices throughout the country, and that's not all. Each Lost Stock box sold will support a worker and their family for one week.

With the stock lined up, we’re aiming to support 10,000 workers and their families in the coming weeks and 50,000 by the end of the year.

Hit play on the above podcast to hear all about Lost Stock's work and how you can get your hands on one of the 'goody' boxes.

It's the weekend, and when we all get in from enjoying the sun some epic TV awaits us.

Both The Graham Norton Show and the Late Late Show have quite the line ups this week, with Lady Gaga appearing on the BBC chat show to talk about her new album, which is out now.

This Friday marks the end of an unforgettable Late Late Show season. Ryan will catch up with some key workers from frontline services including nurses, doctors, nursing home staff, and paramedics who have played a vital role in the battle against Covid-19.

Among those lining up to voice the nation's thanks to Ireland's frontline workers will be Uachtarán na hÉireann, Michael D. Higgins, in an interview which will be pre-recorded at the gardens at Áras an Uachtaráin.

Her stunning performance of Nothing Compares 2U in September was a stand-out moment of the current season, and on Friday night, the inimitable Sinéad O'Connor will be back in studio for another performance.There will be a strong touch of Hollywood on the show, with Saoirse Ronan chatting to Ryan. Colin Farrell will also be joining the show from LA.

There's nothing more pure than the humble hotel breakfast. Mini-croissants and full Irish plates filled to the brim, as much tea as you can drink...perfection.

But what will become of them in the post-covid world?

In the hot seat this week for Ask Me Anything On Dermot And Dave was Dara Cruise, General Manager of the Midlands Park Hotel.

He spoke about how he sees the hotel industry running in the post-covid world and gave us the skinny on life in an empty hotel.

It's just under two years since Cian Lynch became an All-Ireland Hurling legend as part of the first Limerick team to win the Liam McCarthy since 1973.

But with things shut down due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, Cian has been keeping busy in lockdown putting a 'bit of bleach' in the hair and raising some much needed support for a key part of the south-west, Milford Hospice.

Both the senior and U20 hurling teams in Limerick have come together to 'Hit the Woah' for Milford Hospice.
