On Friday's version of 'Déise Today', Damien was talking to Mary about the issue of cannabis and smoking weed and the problems that she has seen that it can do to a family.
Mary tells us that her daughter herself had started to smoke weed and even though it seemed quite fine at the start, it started to get to a point where she was fearful for her daughter's safety and the path that she was going down.
She recalls that "It got to a point where she was buying a 50 euro bag every day and smoking it with her friends...it was too much".
She say's that people should become more aware of the dangers of cannabis and educate themselves on the matter.

Apart from that, it was a packed show with some breaking news during the show!
Theresa May had stepped down as Prime Minister of the UK while the show was on.
The Prime Minister made the announcement outside 10 Downing Street this morning. May’s voice broke as she delivered the final sentences of her speech saying it has been “the honour of my life” to be the “second female prime minister, but certainly not the last.”
She will remain in the post until a successor is appointed. A Conservative Party leadership contest will now get underway in earnest.
There were also three independent craft brewers in studio to celebrate 'Indie Beer Week'.
There was Clare Dalton of Dungarvan Brewing Company, Liam McDonnell from Legacy Cider which is based in Shandon, Dungarvan as well as Julie Ward who is the drinks manager at Ardkeen Food Store.
