This week on the show Miriam meets model and entrepreneur Caprice who will fill viewers in on her recovery from her recent brain tumour and the effect it has had on her and her family.

Brendan Courtney will be on the couch to discuss the Fair Deal scheme and how he’s coping with his Dad’s death, one month on.

Also on the show are three people who’ve bravely battled cancer who will share how their fight inspired them to take on some awesome personal challenges.

Music comes from The Blizzards performing their brand new single ‘Show me the Science’.

Plus performers from the Laya Healthcare City Spectacular will entertain the audience and viewers.

The Forum on Public Broadcasting, Dublin Castle

Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment Denis Naughten speaking at the the forum considering the future of public service broadcasting in Ireland, in particular what public service broadcasting means now and how to fund it fund it.

Among the attendees were, above from left NUJ Irish secretary Séamus Dooley and Timmy Dooley TD.

The Forum  the first of its kind hosted by an Oireachtas Committee, aims to be a…

“…creative and open space where participants can explore the challenges in relation to the future funding of public sector broadcasting and share their own ideas to help inform a report the Committee will be presenting to the Minister on the issue“

Just like the Citizen’s Assembly.

Pause.

Fight!
