Galway-born cruise Captain Brian Whelan made one Donegal girl's day by reuniting her with her cherished teddy rabbit after it was left behind during a family holiday aboard the Princess Cruise Line. When Sophie’s mother, Mona, realised the prized toy had been accidentally forgotten, she turned to social media for help. Thanks to the quick response from Captain Whelan and his crew, Sophie’s beloved toy was soon tracked down and returned to her, bringing a heartwarming end to the holiday mishap.

Ronan Lardner from The Live Wire tracked down the Galway Sea Captain who reunited a little Donegal girl with her beloved teddy, Rabbie.

Sarah Slevin chats with Michelle Palmer, who is performing as part of Galway city Culture Night on Friday September 20th.

Taoiseach Simon Harris has officially opened the new 50 bed ward block at Portiuncula Hospital in Ballinasloe 

The project is providing replacement beds rather than extra beds, but in far more modern facilities, including single-bed private rooms.

The Taoiseach met with hospital staff, local councillors and elected members, most of whom have been involved in this project since it broke ground in 2019

He says this new block will be transformational for the hospital
