Dave Moore

Matt Damon was snapped in Dalkey in Dublin a couple of weeks ago.

Ever since speculation has been rife as to why the A list star was seen smiling into a fan's camera, wearing a tracksuit and holding onto a plastic a shopping bag during a global pandemic.

Apparently the star and his family found themselves stuck in Ireland when filming of his latest project was put on hold due to the coronavirus.

There's only one man who can get to the bottom of this, and that's Joe Duffy on Liveline.

At this strange time we are all staying at home to try and stay safe but for some people around the country the sad reality is that their home may be the most unsafe place for them to be.

Anne Clarke from Offaly Domestic Violence Support Services joined Dermot and Dave this morning to remind people where they can turn if they’re being subjected to domestic abuse in their homes.

Anne also gave some advice for those who are living in a domestic abuse situation, for those who think they might be and for those concerned that a loved one is suffering in silence.

You can listen to Anne's chat with the lads below:

It's a time for big change for many people with restrictions in place on public gatherings, gigs and parties.

Even weddings have had t0 be postponed.

But one Irish priest hasn't let the restrictions stop him from saying mass.

Father Chris now takes to Facebook Live to make sure his parishioners still have access to him and the church.

However, Father Chris isn't exactly technically-minded.

He is on what he describes as a steep learning curve, which led to the popular priest battling with social media filters in a hilarious way.

Father Chris joined Dermot & Dave to walk us through his Father Ted moment on Facebook Live.

When Barry and Brenda Sorensen started to experience coronavirus symptoms they knew what they needed to do.

Both Barry and Brenda self isolated immediately, along with their four children, but as time passed the Irish couple's symptoms became worse, resulting in Barry being taken to hospital by ambulance.

Brenda also ended up being admitted to hospital and that's where the couple have spend the last nine days, alone in quarantined hospital rooms, but only 30 meters apart.

Barry joined Dermot & Dave from his hospital bed where he walked us through what it's like to be separated from his family.

Barry and Brenda are both recovering well and Barry is full of praise for the staff of University Hospital Waterford's Pine Ward who he says are 'unbelievable.'

Barry says they both miss their kids terribly but are so proud of them for keeping it together like 'real heroes.'
