This morning (Friday), 'Deise Today' featured a powerful interview with Lynda Shefflin.

Lynda is from Ballyhale in Kilkenny and this week, out of desperation and frustration with the health services, posted a very personal and moving video to Instagram.

It's about Lynda's experience with the health service and specifically, UHW, at the moment as she undergoes advanced testing for breast cancer.

Lynda Shefflin: 'If I'm going down, I'm going down shouting'...

He is an award-winning comedian, impressionist, actor and writer - and he's immensely proud of his Waterford roots!

Mario Rosenstock is perhaps best known for his iconic 'Gift Grub' but there's so much more to him too.

He's also just released a new book 'Gift Grub and Me: My Life in Comedy' which is published by Merrion Press and now on sale.

This morning (Wednesday) he was one of our guests on 'Deise Today' where he had a wide-ranging chat with Damien on everything from Waterford places, to John Mullane and how to pronounce your 'ths'!

Tributes to late councillor Seamus O'Donnell RIP....

Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan have donated €150,000 to the three GAA clubs which are located closest to Strancally Castle in Co Waterford. 

It is the couple’s first Irish philanthropic donation since they bought Strancally Castle in August. 

The three clubs - Shamrocks GAA in Knockanore, Tallow GAA in Tallow, and Lismore GAA in Lismore - will each receive €50,000. The donations will be paid to the clubs over a two-year period, with each club receiving €25,000 per year.

Mark and Priscilla decided to donate to the three GAA clubs in Waterford that are closest to Strancally Castle as they are aware of the very significant role that the GAA plays in local communities in Ireland. As new members of the community in Waterford, they wanted to support these local clubs.

“The GAA is at the heart of communities across Ireland,” said Mark and Priscilla. “As new members of the Waterford community, we’re proud to support these local clubs and the important role they play.”

This morning on 'Deise Today', we spoke to representatives from Lismore GAA club, Shamrocks GAA club and Tallow GAA club to find out how they heard the good news - and what the donations will mean for them!
