Mark spoke to David O'Brien and Tim Dennehy, who have created Kerry's first padel centre in the Monavalley Industrial Estate in Tralee. The centre opened on 20th September, and has enjoyed huge success so far.

Mark Lynch spoke to Kilmoyley man Tim O’Brien, who was left paralysed from the neck down after a road crash at the age of just 18 back in 2010. As a talented hurler and active young man, Tim's life was turned upside down by this accident. He then lived with his parents, who were his main carers, and was living life to the fullest. Unfortunately, his parents since passed away, and Tim currently lives away from home in a care facility in Galway. But he and his family are raising money to bring him home to North Kerry, in a house he can call his own, with his sister Emily, brother-in-law Dave, and niece. As part of that fundraising, there will be a special hurling match in Kilmoyley on 25th October which will feature plenty of inter-county stars.

Voice Ireland is undertaking a project to track where donated clothes really go. With around 80% of all collected clothing in Ireland being exported, it’s fair to ask: are they really being reused?
