Never has a bottle of hand sanitiser been so in demand.

It’s sold out nearly everywhere, with people searching high and low for a bottle of the germ-busting liquid.

With the government advice still focused on ensuring people are washing their hands, a team in Listoke Distillery & Gin School decided to made the switch from primarily making Gin to manufacturing hand sanitiser.

Bronagh Conlon, co-founder of Listoke Distillery & Gin School, joined Dermot & Dave to chat about what inspired their decision to make the move into hand sanitiser.

Since Saturday morning Bronagh and her team have manufactured thousands of litres of hand sanitiser.

THIS IS WHY WE DO IT!!! Today we were able to supply Dublin Fire Brigade with Hand Sanitizer - their base is being used for fire fighters, ambulances, AND the main Test Centre. Having this hand sanitizer will hopefully help them protect themselves and others! THANK YOU to the people on the front line!! @dubfirebrigade #frontline #listokedistillery #coronavirus

Bronagh is a breast cancer survivor and was first motivated to make it for herself but soon realised she had to do something to help others and made the call to mass produce it over the weekend.

They’re covering costs in order to keep production possible not just for the next few weeks but for the next few months and well into the later part of the year.

They are donating a lot of their product to places like Dublin fire brigade and the Peter McVerry trust and to Local homeless shelters and women’s refuges

Bronagh says they have been inundated with requests for the hand sanitiser from the general public, adding that their fear and desperation is palpable.

We’re all busy playing our part in stopping the spread of Covid-19 around Ireland. 

We’re all practicing social distancing and the increase in self-isolation directives means that gyms around the country have had to shut their doors for the next few weeks. 

At a time when exercise is more important than ever, while we lead considerably slower lives and when our anxiety levels are much more heightened Ronan Murphy from Toned Fit has created clever ways to utilise your home and create a gym indoors.

When Becky Loftus and her husband went on holiday with a couple they have been close pals with for years the conversation soon turned to children.

The other couple had been trying to conceive for some time but were experiencing difficulties.

It was during that conversation that Becky realised she would consider carrying their child for them and spoke up voicing the option over dinner.

Two weeks later, her friend contacted her asking her if the offer still stood and soon Becky found herself carrying baby for her friend.

Becky joined Dermot & Dave to chat about the baby being conceived in a Cypriot clinic via IVF, the legal side of it all and what it felt like to hand over the baby to her friend when it was born.

Sean also addressed the 50,000 people who now find themselves out of work following the pub closures around Ireland and updated us all on where we stand today when it comes to Covid-19 in Ireland.

Frolo

Zoe Desmond is a single parent who wanted to meet people in a similar situation.

After Zoe had her son, she wasn't prepared for the loneliness that came with being a single parent.

She longed to meet new people having a similar experience, people to organise play dates, lunches and trips away with.

That's where she came up with the idea for Frolo.

Zoe joined Dermot and Dave today to tell them about the app and the positive community it has helped her build.
