The challenges of re-opening hotels - Deise Today Wednesday 27th May

On today's show Damien speaks to sisters Tina and Mags Darrer from Dooleys hotel about the challenges they face trying to get their hotel re-opened come July. Phase four is due to kick in on July 20th which will allow a number of businesses to re-open but with strict restrictions.

Also on the show, Sinn Fein TD David Cullinane discusses the findings of the Oireachtas committee on Covid-19 in relation to the states response to nursing homes.

Play therapist Catriona O Neil Hayes discusses the importance of play and has tips on how to play at home.

And Damien also looks ahead to the live music event for Waterford this summer "Live at The Drive In" which will see Gavin James perform an outdoor concert on the Prom in Tramore. Mark Dunne from 360 events, who are organising the event, has details.

Approval was given yesterday for the Munster Technological University in Cork. What implications does this have for the drive for a university in Waterford? Damien speaks to Richard Hayes, Vice President for strategy at WIT as well as Wexford Fianna Fail senator Malcolm Byrne.

Damien makes a visit to a number of GAA clubs in the Nire valley area and speaks to people about how they have been coping with no matches.

And we hear an award winning poem from 10 year old Jamie Byrne who is in 4th class in Rathgormack National School.
