Luke Owens is Dad to Snooker's latest super snooker prodigy...He is the world’s youngest snooker player and he's just turned 3 years old!

Luke and Jude joined Alison on Weekend Breakfast to chat about his TWO Guinness World Records!

And Luke and Jude have Cork roots - Grandad left Cork to move to Manchester!

What is even crazier is he performed the tricks at two years of age. Dad tells Alison the pride he feels and awe at what skills Jude is showing at such a young age but he also tells her that his welfare is the MOST important thing and when he got offered a life changing offer of America's Got Talent he turned it down.

"I was in the kitchen... the glamour!" John Kelly tells Alison on Weekend Breakfast where he was when he heard his incredible little movie 'Retirement Plan' was nominated for an Academy Award.

The self-effacing (and lovely bloke) is a Director from Dublin who has made an animated short that feels like a full movie in seven minutes. The story follows the character Ray, who is dissatisfied with life, and dreams of everything he’ll be able to do in retirement, once he finally has the time! The film is narrated by Domhnall Gleeson.

It is a fantastic piece of work. You can watch it now on Disney + and RTE Player.

***SPOILER ALERT***

What a final.

Rachel Duffy is the pride of Newry. She rode her luck and used her smarts ... FBI anyone!! And took it all the way to the final.

Her younger brother Neil is bursting with pride .. and feeling a little emotional after a night watching his older sister appear on one of telly's biggest shows. He told us what it was like as the entire family and half the town gathered for a watch-along in the local hotel. Ciara is Rachel's bestie and cousin and was as tense as the rest of us watching those final moments!

The second most capped female Republic of Ireland international of all time chatted to Alison on Weekend Breakfast about her recent record breaking move to the WSL and a club she holds close to her heart.

She talks about her love of Cork and her native Knocknaheeny, getting into football from an early age (youngest of 10) and her advice for young girls getting into sport and much more! 

January is a great time to book - there's a bigger choice than ever, you can give yourself the time to spread payments, and there is nothing better than enjoying the anticipation! 

Weekend Breakfast welcomes our holiday guru Pól Ó Conghaile - Travel Editor from The Irish Independent - he tells us all about the brand new routes for this year, some fantastic alternatives to the usual spots and some stay at home options!
