On The Ray D’Arcy Show…

Former Head Coach of the Irish Boxing Team Billy Walsh will join Ray for his first in-depth TV interview since his controversial resignation two years ago.
Singer and songwriter Markus Feehily will join Ray in studio to chat about the exciting news that he will support Mariah Carey during her 2017 Christmas tour later this year.
Following its popularity last year Good News is back and this time it’s Teresa Mannion who takes to the newsdesk to bring us some feel good news from all over the country
And Ray’s House hunt is back…the game of speed, memory and stamina that anyone can play for money from the comfort of their own home.

This morning.
The Irish Planning Institute annual conference.
The Gibson Hotel, Dublin
Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy said there has to be changes to planning and development laws to address some of the “ridiculous restrictions” on the efficient use of scarce and expensive building land.
Mr Murphy wants to lift the numerical height caps in the city cores and along key transport corridors.
He also said there needs to be a range of urban solutions including more studios, shared apartments and family units.
He is proposing shared accommodation models to bridge the gap between student accommodation and apartments.
Professionals would have their own en suite bedroom but would have to share a communal kitchen and living area.
He said this type of accommodation is working successfully in other countries for example “the Collective” in London.
His plans also include the removal of a mandatory requirement for parking within 1km of a DART, Lucas, urban rail link and quality bus corridor.
Fight!
