RTÉ Radio 1

John's first guest this morning is Corinne Mannion, owner of Ashford Manor guesthouse on the College Road in Galway, to talk about the common requests she would get from guests, but one in particular stood out & this unusual request came from guest, Danielle Smith, who is also on the line to John.   Also joining them on the line is Marty Morrissey!

Following on our discussion yesterday on moderate drinking we received a text from a listener that we should ditch 'buying a round' system in our pubs! John travelled to Wicklow yesterday to see what people there had to say.

Band manager Paul McGuinness is stepping down as U2's manager. John is joined by Frank Murray of Hill 16 Management (he managed Thin Lizzy, The Pogues & a host of others) & we are also joined from our Galway studio by Olaf Tyaransen of Hotpress who has interviewed Paul a number of times.

We continue our search for the person who makes that one per cent difference in their community. This morning John is joined on the line by Geraldine Mills, Athlone who wished to give her nomination to Ian Flowers & explains why.  Ian is also on the line to John.

Today’s prize is a luxury weekend away in Temple House in Sligo, a classic Georgian mansion
