On Monday's Déise Today, Damien was joined in studio by three candidates who are all taking part in the upcoming European elections which are taking place on the 24th of May!
Damien was joined in studio by Malcolm Byrne of Fianna Fail, currently sitting MEP for Fine Gael Deirdre Clune as well as Green Party candidate Grace O'Sullivan.
There was a variety of discussion between the three candidates including topics such as the state of Rural Ireland, how to tackle climate change and also the problem of the far right which is slowly creeping into mainland Europe.
"The issue of the far right is something that needs to be addressed now in Europe in the parliament, and it needs to be solved now," said Fianna Fail candidate Malcolm Byrne.

Apart from that Monday's version of 'Déise Today' was packed full of conversation of several different topics. Damien was talking to Liam Brazil, a Fine Gael councillor in the Comeragh area about the decision by Maurice Cummins to step down as Fine Gael director of elections locally as well as char of the executive board of Fine Gael in Waterford.
The decision was made over the weekend by Cummins and came just as Fine Gael and the other parties gear up towards the local elections on May 24th.
Damien was also chatting to Conor Walsh of 'Encon' who won 'Waterford's Best Young Entrepreneur' as well as 'Best Established Busines's' category at the Irish Best Young Entrepreneur for the Waterford's final at Dooley's Hotel on Friday evening! Conor was still in shock coming into the studio over his win on Friday and says that the 15,000 euro prize money will go a long way towards helping him build his businesses on even more!
