Episode Notes
With the country facing a possible general election, callers gave their views on the government crisis.
Joe held two 5 minute text polls during the show.
The first poll asked listeners: should there be an election? A total of 4,800 people voted, with 71% answering NO, and 29% saying YES.
For the second poll, Joe asked: should Frances Fitzgerald resign? Over 5,000 people voted, with 60% saying YES - the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation should step aside; and 40% voting NO, she shouldn't resign.
Christy Nolan and his wife Breda bought themselves a gift of €600 worth of vouchers from Falcon Holidays last December. Tragically, Breda then got terminal cancer. She died last month. The vouchers were only valid for 12 months, but Christy asked Falcon if they could extend this, as he didn't feel up to buying a holiday so soon after Breda's passing. Falcon have told Christy that they cannot extend the vouchers past the original date of 21 December 2017.
Isabel told Joe about a rent scam which nearly resulted in her handing over thousands of euro for a phantom apartment. Isabel found a real apartment in Dublin and is paying €300 per month to share a room with five others. Vinnie has been monitoring the rent on the apartment he used to live in. The increases have been way in excess of the 4% limit imposed by the government.
