The Big Breakfast Blaa

Important information ahead of Leaving Cert results in Waterford

Grace is in the process of writing a strongly worded letter to extend the eligibility age of the Rose of Tralee to include those aged over 30.

Even better... over 40.

This outrage came about as she realised the window of eligibility is at least 18 on the year of entry, and not having reached 30 by September on the year of entry.

Grace was upset, an outcast, excluded... and then she put her thinking cap on and decided she wanted a separate event with all the bells and whistles. (interested sponsors can give her a shout)

Looking ahead to the weekend and TV suggestions, Grace is glued to the Lindsay Clancy case- a trial which is currently gripping viewers by the millions each day on You Tube.

Grace campaigns for an over-30s Rose of Tralee

Just 9 schools around Waterford remain unsigned up to the 'Picker Pals' initiative, which is completely free for schools.

Now in its 7th year, Picker Pals has worked with 70 schools around the county, teaching primary school pupils about caring for their area and the climate.

Gary Jones from VOICE Ireland, which manages the Picker Pals programme joined Ollie and Dymphna to discuss the concept.

He said lesson plans are available free of charge for classrooms, with options to allow one school to compete against another school in litter challenges.

Each pupil takes responsibility for their Picker Pack and it is brought home so that the whole family can get involved.

To date, some 900 pupils and their families around the county have got involved.

Play to listen back in full with the details of how to get involved.

Just 9 schools around Waterford not 'Picker Pals'

Waterford is rejoicing in the success of Gold Medallist Mark English after his triumphant win at the 800m final at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham.

English came home ahead of the rest in 1:45.26 with Croatia's Marino Bloudek second in 1:45.62 and Mohamed Attaqui of Spain third in 1:45.71.

He stormed to the finish line, moving strongly from second place into first, confidently crossing the finish line claiming a gold medal for Ireland,  making it the first ever men's gold medal for an Irish athlete at the European Championships.

Mark English and his Fenor Connections

We love a Waterford connection, and when Teresa Murray contacted The Big Breakfast Blaa about Mark, we knew it was a story that had to be heard.

She explained why the village of Fenor has a double reason to celebrate...

Many years ago, Billy Burns and his brother Brendan Burns (Mark English's grandfather) were raised in Fenor before most of the family eventually moving away to England, as many did at that time.

When Brendan moved back home to Ireland, he bought a pub in Portlaoise and had three daughters.

The eldest of those daughters had a family of her own, one of whom is Mark's mother.

Teresa praised the ambition, determination, and talent of Mark, speaking highly of the man he has grown up to be.

A gorgeous national story with local Waterford roots... listen back to Teresa when she spoke on the show.
