A NEW report into the incident in March which saw two children fall from the balcony of a Council apartment was released in recent days.

The report has highlighted issues with the balcony's screws and brackets.

A seven-year-old girl and a three-year-old boy were injured in the incident on Friday, March 20, with the boy, in particular, suffering serious injuries.

On 'Deise Today' this week, Damien spoke to Independent Waterford City and County Councillor Joe Kelly about the report - as well as Maggie Moody, who has long campaigned for issues at Mount Suir to be addressed.

She's the Clinical Director and Deputy CEO of the charity 'One in Four' who are Ireland's leading service supporting adults who have survived child sex abuse.

She's also a psychoanalytical psychotherapist.

She gave some great practical tips and help for people who may have experienced abuse in their past.

Supporting adults who've survived child sex abuse....

It's been a long time in the planning and preparing but last week he finally achieved his dream...

Adam Sweeney, aged just 22, has became the youngest Irish person to ever climb Mount Everest!

For the young Dunmore East adventurer and his family, it's been an absolute whirlwind - and they are still trying to come to terms with the scale of the achievement.

Adam returned to Dunmore East on Saturday last and this morning (Tuesday), we were delighted to welcome him, his mum Karen, his grandad Tom and his uncle Geoff into studio to chat about it all.

Back from the Everest summit; Waterford's Adam Sweeney!

A PUBLIC meeting they organised in their secondary school on the subject of drug-related intimdiation and violence has won a group of transition year students from Dungarvan CBS a top garda award!

The group of students - Harry, Rian, Krishnay and Jack - were announced as the Overall Waterford/Kilkenny Garda Youth Awards 2026 winners at a ceremony in the city's Tower Hotel

The young men showed brilliant initiative in organised a public meeting in the school, at which some of the most senior members of the force at both a regional and national level spoke about DRIVE (Drug-Related Intimidation and Violence) in our communities, and the effect it has on young people, families and the wider community.

This morning, one of the young students involved in the project, Rian Bulfin spoke to Damien on 'Deise Today'. He was also joined by his mum, Sasha, who spoke about the importance of educating young people on drugs.
