Following an article in the Irish Independent this morning about the experience of living & life in Donegal from Magda, a Polish girl, John is joined in studio by our researcher Zbyszek Zalinski.

In the interest of scientific research & following a recent AA poll which found that Donegal drivers are more willing to stop for a fellow motorist in trouble, than drivers in Kildare, the John Murray Show sent out two udercover agents, Barry Bracken (Kildare) & Sarah Daly (Donegal) to report back to us & in our Limerick studio is UCC Sociologist, Niamh Hourigan to comment on the good samaritan!

Joining us also is Regina O'Leary & the St. Canices National School in Kilkenny, for a chat & performance before the girls make an appearance at the Annual Festival of Youth Orchestras at the National Concert Hall this Saturday, February 4th. www.nch.ie

Ciaran has secured a qualifer for the 2011 World Championships in Daegu & 2012 London Olympics! Plus with our regular sports stories updates, Damian Lawlor, Sunday Independent joins John in studio.
