As we move from summer into the winter months, the weather is getting darker and more gloomy.

And it’s not just the general atmosphere that’s affected, as storm season will soon get underway…

But, is the Government prepared to tackle extreme weather events?

The Climate Advisory Council has warned that there has been no tangible storm action taken since storms Darragh and Eowyn, which wreaked havoc across the country earlier this year.

Andrea is joined by listeners to discuss.

“Text me when you get home” is a very common phrase used among women. Whether you are jumping in a taxi after a night out, or driving home from the cinema, the departure among girls and their friends is one that always ensures that they get home safely.

In partnership with the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, comedians Claire Roche and Justine Halpin will be performing their comedy show ‘Are Ya Alright Getting Home?’. They join Andrea to discuss.

If you ever need it, the Dublin Rape Crisis phone number is available 24/7 on 1800 77 88 88.

Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien will seek approval today for legislation to remove the passenger cap at Dublin Airport. As it stands, the cap is set at 32 million passengers per year. By lifting the cap, it will mean that there will be no restrictions on the number of people entering and exiting Dublin Airport each year.

The cap was initially brought in in 2007 after the construction of Terminal 2. Since then, Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has been calling on the Government to scrap the cap, as he feels it is long overdue…

So, should it be done?
