In week 9 of the fabulous show "Dancing with the Stars", Lottie Ryan with her dancing partner Pasquale La Rocca have been voted through to the quarter finals. 

​In a bit to impress the judges the stars were tasked with their usual solo dances and they also had to hear to Team Dance, it was certainly a night of entertaining performances.

Baz and the fabulous Moya May, have teamed up with TK Maxx and Enable Ireland to launch this year's "Give up Clothes for Good" campaign.

TK Maxx are asking people to support Enable Ireland by simply donating a bag of quality pre-loved clothes to any TK Maxx store. Each bag can raise up to €20 as they are then sold at Enable Ireland shops.

The money raised goes towards supporting projects benefiting children and young people with disabilities around Ireland, including purpose built children’s service centres, transport services and specialist equipment and assistive technology for children and young people with disabilities.

Dermot Bannon was in Laura Lynn recently to officially open their newly refurbished family accommodation.

Laura Lynn now has four family bedrooms alongside a living space and kitchen area allowing entire families to book in for short stays at the hospice. These short stays allow the child using the service, their parents and any siblings they may have to enjoy quality time together making memories as a family. Parents can enjoy just being mums and dads with the medical needs of their child fully taken care of.

Dermot felt honoured to be asked to open this newly refurbished area and believes that the days of respite that the families get are a lifeline and precious to them.
