On today's show Damien speaks to more residents who are having issues with their boilers and are having difficulty in getting the council out to repair them.

Damien also speaks to Dungarvan and West Waterford Chamber CEO Jenny Beresford about the success of Dungarvan Aglow and how local businesses have fared in the run up to Christmas.

Jimmy Burrows from the Fresh Food Court in Dungarvan tells Damien about his recent award for "butchery and food hall of the year 2019" from butchery excellence international.

And postmaster Sean Martin gives a perspective on Christmas from the viewpoint of staff working in post offices at this busy time.

In the second part of the programme Damien is  joined in studio by local poet Clodagh Beresford Dunne who was awarded the Clarissa Luard Award in London in November. She was personally selected for the award by Edna O’Brien.

Susan Furniss tells Damien about her design, the Wrist Pocket, which was designed as a solution to carrying a mobile phone and cash around when you don’t have a handbag. It’s a purse with 2 pockets, one for your phone and the other for cash, cards and other small items. The idea is to have your phone TO hand but not IN your hand.

Finally local musician John Stack is in studio to perform his new Christmas charity song.
