Businesses in Bantry in west Cork are again counting the cost after about 20 premises were flooded when the town experienced a heavy downpour earlier in the week…

The decision to opt out of organ donation should be respected.

That’s the view of the President of the Medical Council of Ireland, Dr. Suzanne Crowe.

It follows the publication of figures in response to a recent parliamentary question, which revealed over 55,000 people have signed on to a HSE register to opt out of automatic organ donation upon death.

Long before the term multi-media artist came into use, and before a 90s soap about six friends trapped in a small New York City apartment changed television forever, there was Allee Willis.

No idea who that is? She’d like to keep it that way. Perhaps ‘the most unknown famous woman in Hollywood’, she rubbed shoulders with the likes of Cindi Lauper and hosted some of the most decadent parties in her Los Angeles home nicknamed ‘The Pink Bungalow’.

He joins Seán to discuss his upcoming pop-up book inspired by her mythical home…
