Emmy Award-winning TV and Radio broadcaster Baz Ashmawy has launched a campaign with Bank of Ireland to encourage the public to talk about the ​"F Word" or Financial Wellbeing.  It has been proven that by not talking about finance we could risk accumulating debt, missing out on opportunities to save money, or just being unaware of small things that could make a big difference to our overall financial wellbeing.

Bank of Ireland are encouraging customers to build a better relationship with money, take control of their finances, which will  empower them to make better financial decisions for themselves and their families.

Yvonne Connolly and her daughter Ali have been working with Dove to promote their new Self-Esteem Project, which aims to provide tools to help young girls grow up enjoying a positive relationship with how they look. In recent research, the brand found that 87% of the 10 to 17-year-olds they surveyed didn’t have high body esteem.

Yvonne herself has recently suffered a dreadful freak accident when she fell from her horse and completely shattered her face and broke her arm in two places.  Yvonne said that having her accident taught her the hard way to be less self-critical and accept her altered looks, especially as she thought originally that she might loose her eye.  She really wanted to pass on to her daughters and other young people that looks were not the most important thing about a person, she has just learnt to embrace her new look as part of who she now is.

Dermot Whelan has just launched his new book "Mind Full", which has immediately gone in at No1. in the Irish charts.

Dermot is a leading expert on stress management and the book is a no nonsense, incense-free hilarious guide to relaxing the head, reducing anxiety and living a calmer life, without annoying the emergency services. A fantastic read.

Rugby legend Donncha O'Callaghan is back hosting the third series of the hit show  "Donncha's Two Talented".

The show is aired Saturdays on RTÉ One from 27 February at 5.15pm and every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on RTÉjr at 6.30pm from the 1 March! Young people need to convince their family to join them on stage to dance, sing and have fun.  They aspire to coach their parents to become TV stars and hopefully they will impress Donncha with their efforts, with lots of heartwarming moments in the process.

Legendary radio DJ Dave Fanning has recently partnered with Guinness and Whelan’s  to showcase the best of Irish music talent.

With the luxury of music being taken from us over the past few months, Dave hosted a special two-part series to bring viewers at home the next best thing. The show featured live performances by The Academic, Somebody’s Child, Villagers, Andrea Corr, Soda Blonde, Alex Gough, Sorcha Richardson, Mick Flannery and Isaac Butler, a mixture of established and up and coming artists.

We hope to see more of these live shows over the coming months.
