This Sunday is Father's Day.

You'll probably be seeing the stereotypical bits on offer in the shops – the socks on sale, the 'No. 1 Dad' mug, or a pair of pyjamas for the 'man of the house'.

But, in this day and age, is the man of the house still a position to be claimed, or a figment of times past before the PC awakening?

Look to Diageo's announcement of six months parental leave for new Dads as an example of the changing role of the man in a family.

SO, how to define a Dad in 2019? Have things changed dramatically or are we all just getting a bit ahead of ourselves?

Laura Erskine of MummyPages.ie joined Fran to discuss.

David Doran lost his seat as a Tipperary County Councillor in last month's local elections.

The Independent Cllr was knocked out of the Chamber by the election of Fine Gael's Peter Ryan, who was elected on his first time of asking.

At the time of the election, Doran was also terribly sick in hospital with an – at that time – undiagnosed illness.

He was released from hospital this week – and to discuss losing his Council seat and his health scare, David joined Fran in studio on Friday.
