taking the time to keep us updated and let us know where we can help you and things like that so very much appreciated uh let's do a nice one here um we all they're all nice you know what i mean um hi producer of greg's nine till noon show i would like to send anonymous praise for the ed department at letter kenny general hospital as it seems always to be negative comments i arrived with my 82 year old mother last night at around 8 p.m after a very prompt service from now doc who asked me did i require an ambulance luckily i could drive and felt she was stable enough to go in my car now doc sent a fax to inform ed that we were on the way which was very helpful on arrival we were triaged very quickly by very friendly attentive staff then had an ecg done by the lovely anna who reassured us that although there would be a bit of a wait because there were ambulances backed up outside the door we would be seen as soon as possible we were fortunate to be given a seat stroke wheelchair inside the doors right at the main hub of the department to say that every staff member was busy such an understatement no one realized this on the other side of the doors we were kept informed where we were in priority but unfortunately as always happens to the ambulances they're still coming in the back door unknown to all on the seats inside the emergency department not once in the entire time we were there did we see one person stop for hardly even water however at approximately 12 45 stroke 1 a.m the lovely nurse anna and a male colleague passed through the whole ed inside and outside the doors with tea toasts and sandwiches for everyone i just want to show our appreciation for the hard work and going above and beyond not all heroes wear capes if greg could maybe just read this out for me no problem happy to do so and and i hope it doesn't get lost in i hope it doesn't get lost in the commentary that we do have from time to time as it relates to the hospital is the reason we would give so much time to it and platform issues is always with the staff in mind and to support the staff because as you say when you're in the ed sometimes you don't see what's going on behind the doors and there are people going from x-ray to the resource to hear there and everywhere they're flying around and they're really really busy and i i i know enough of the the staff down there and have our fair contact with enough of them to to realize that hopefully they see that we do appreciate everything they do in very difficult conditions obviously some people are going to have negative experiences i get that too but that we're actually seeking more funding more investment to support the brilliant work they do and to retain them there and it's never a criticism very rarely a criticism of staff but it's lovely to have that text or text in and to emphasize all of that the county's number one talk show the nine till noon show on highland radio the nine till noon show is brought to you by

and travel for less expressway bringing you the time us now the time is 11 24 so we received this email i want to highlight an issue which i now believe is common practice in donnie gall and this is refusals by landlords agents to return rental deposits when students are leaving rented accommodation my daughter and friends had a 12 month arrangement in their rented property they left the property as agreed in december and my husband and i oversaw the cleaning out of the property and the removal of all rubbish and the house was left in better condition than when they moved in but the landlord refused to return their substantial deposit because he didn't get written notice that they were moving out even though they had in writing from the agent that they had to move out in december when this was challenged they were then told that there was cleaning issues which is also untrue because i've photographic evidence and videos of all the rooms which were properly cleaned when keys were returned this is only taking advantage of students who comply with the rules and do everything by the book landlords are letting agents and letting agency fabricating reasons to retain the deposit i'm obviously taking this matter down a legal route but it's unfair and is giving all landlords a bad name and is a poor reflection on donnie gall and i'll be contacting letter kenny university or letter kenny university hospital national university of go away and ensuring their students don't use this landlord for the letting agent in the future thanks and regards okay so we stuck that up on our socials and rachel's a former landlord and joins us on the program now rachel thanks so much for your time i know you're very very busy so what is your reaction to that i'm good rachel what's your reaction to that listener statement yeah i just i'm just speaking on behalf of the private landlord who just has one house not the man with the multi properties i had a house in slago that i wound up selling in 2019 i had us for 10 years and i rented it out to students in the glenclaric region which would be one known student area in slago and anybody that knows me would know that that house was left handed over to students in a macular condition and nine times out of 10 every time i got the cube back in may or april or may when they were leaving the house was just absolutely wrecked or in bad condition or just dirty but personally i never kept the deposits on the students because my take on it was that i just wanted them gone i wanted them out of the house off my doorstep i was afraid that that they could come back and damage the property because i'm not living in the house i live up in leslie kenney so it's a good try for me to go up and down between slago so that was my take on it so i read what the lady has wrote up and i mean i think it's terrible that the landlord has kept the deposit if they've gone in and cleaned the house better than what it was i can honestly say that no parents of the students that i rented ever came in and cleaned the house they would be there on the first day in september to get their kids settled but there'd be no sign of those parents when i'd be getting the keys back in may when the house was upside down but in terms of this this landlord is it in there for the amount of money what maybe we're talking uh is it in their interest really to hold on to it maybe have their reputation damaged maybe they are money grabbers i don't know but would you say that's the exception or the rule now i know you were a private sort of single property landlord but what what would you hear on the great vine about hand land how landlords treated students like as well as disappointed i think on the both sides i think the landlord and i think the tenant and i have my deposit how back and ever i was younger or two and siblings of mine for you know for it'd be the same issue saying that that the place wasn't clean and there wouldn't you know it would be cleaner than whenever we would have gotten this sort of a thing you know but like i can't really talk on behalf of anybody i get you i don't know the person that wouldn't give back to the public and more generally though Rachel i mean obviously you exited it now because of all the hassle and electricity bills being skipped and all that kind of stuff and also too it seems more so in the last couple of words that landlord has become a dirty word you know i mean it's almost like an insult i think that i think that we get a bad rest you know people have to remember like the single house owner like me i was up working full-time in letter kenny i'm paying rent to somebody else up in letter kenny a fantastic landlord that i have for six or seven years he was wonderful but you know if i could live in the house in slago i would have but it's just my job took me up to letter kenny and you know i had to pay insurance i had to work hard to buy the house number one i had to pay insurance in the house i had to pay local property tax in the house and i think people forget that they think that like people are wealthy that everybody that owns the house for rent is so rich and that we are just money grabbers but like i'm just the average woman on the street like the average man on the street i just i'm just renting that house to pay the rent up in letter kenny basically but the house was totally and absolutely abused nine times out of ten yeah do you think though some some landlords do sort of see though renting out as a way of paying down the mortgage for free or covering other bills that you know that that's you know they are i mean in a way though they do they do have people in the house paying down their mortgage to a great extent for them so there is something in it for the landlord i mean maybe you don't take any profit out of it but you are sort of writing down your debts by renting it out to other people not you i mean i mean you in a generic sense rachel i would say the long-term person that's renting the house because mine was only short term so you're talking september to me and sometimes the student might leave in december because they realize they don't like the course they're doing so then i'd be stuck with a room then trying to fill that in january basically but maybe the person rented it long term but that was the problem for me that it was short term and like i couldn't put ESB bills into students names because at the time it was 250 year old to change the name and no student was going to pay 250 and you'd be changing that twice a year so you'd be putting in their name september and then kind of change it back to mine in then in may so that's how you know i was kind of and i suppose two finally i won't hold you but i mean you know like it's different maybe in the case of our e-mailer but generally speaking you know maybe parents even though sometimes the children are 18 19 or 20 they're sending them into someone else's property and they're not respecting it as perhaps they should maybe we as parents and guardians and what have you care givers need to be educating our young people to be a bit more respectful of other people's property definitely like i said the parents would be there on the 1st of september with the child showing them into the property bye-bye see you next weekend and you're not there'd be no sign of them and those kids are moving out in April or May okay Rachel thanks very much for your time i do appreciate it that's Rachel there watch the show live now on youtube facebook and at highland radio dot

i have to be a registered landlord before 2021 before i can rent to a mica victim can any of your listeners clarify this much appreciated okay so this is a person with a house coming up for rent they are inclined to rent it to someone who's affected by by defective concrete but they have to be registered as a landlord before 2021 before they can now is that based on the scheme the the the the scheme paying rent surely that is a serious issue if that is the case there listening to the lady reregistering the car haven't done it recently safe home arlander a great resource and of advice safe home arland okay thank you for that greg of course the irish government is not going to do anything for the people of gas because they're just puppets for the americans and british warm mongers i i would i mean i would say that um i would say that they have been perhaps you know add a step a little bit but anyway doctor uh kirin of harry is joining us on the program now local gp uh thanks kirin for your time i do really appreciate it and good morning to you morning greg good morning to listeners again we and you know it we're going to talk about winter surges and i get that but we get appeals even in the summer in august now from the hospital to stay away unless absolutely necessary but generally speaking this is a tough time for most acute hospitals around uh the country yes it is and you know you've seen a lot of media coverage over the last few days of difficulties in emergency departments and hospitals throughout the country uh we expect january to be a challenging month with surges and influenza and covet and rsv and other respiratory illnesses so we do know that it is particularly challenging at the moment but uh i suppose beyond that as you said we know that there are ongoing challenges with access to care in the hospitals and emergency departments and these kind of warnings and police to stay away are far from unique to january and looking at the figures it's clear that the problem is not just simply you know more staff in ed quick triage and getting people you know we've got 21 on trolleys uh there's 25 in the surge capacity but there are 24 in hospital beds as delayed discharges i.e and correct me if i'm wrong kirin you know they are well enough now to leave the acute hospital setting but for a number of reasons they can't be discharged yes uh those figures on delayed discharges are generally people who are fit to go but may need other care in other places so they may be waiting for home care packages or a bed in a community hospital and we know that there are difficulties accessing those kind of care so in my area here in east dunny gall there are difficulties with with home care packages and getting access to those in a timely fashion and we know there's difficulties with access to community beds for us as gps we have a severe lack of access to acute kind of beds in the community we know things like lyford community hospital is out of action at the moment with that lack of beds so access to to beds in the community is a challenge and then that has a knock on effect within the hospital as well particularly sort of focusing on east dunny gall st joseph's being used as sort of like the default step down carry if i'm phrasing that correctly is that complicated it for the likes of yourself in east dunny gall i suppose the fact that we've lost the capacity in lyford hospital has definitely made it more challenging and so there are less community beds available in the area because of that so there's difficulty accessing those beds because there are less of them and so i suppose for us as a gps we have been advocating for more access to community beds there are patients that we sometimes have to send to the emergency department for admission because there is no other alternative to them where they would be better suited to a bed in a community hospital but unfortunately that capacity isn't there and the issues at the hospital and gps concerns are well established at this point and i'm not sure we've seen any progress in that regard just as of yet but just in relation to home care packages step down care supports for families or in the home which are the home care packages of course that i'm referencing what needs to be done because i presume more of that capacity is needed in other words that capacity grows faster than it would shrink so there's this is going in one direction there's always going to be an increase in demand presumably do you have an insight in what we need to be doing or how we could resolve that issue um i don't have the specifics on what the the challenges are but as far as i know the challenges was recruiting and having enough staff available to provide those home care packages um and so you know if you don't have enough staff to provide them obviously that's going to delay people getting access to them we know that our population is getting um older um that there are more chronic diseases out there um and so this shift towards community care is going to have to put more focus on the availability of home care packages so we need more people in those jobs uh you know those working in them would argue that the the terms and conditions make them not desirable and and difficult for people to continue in them and and so anybody who has a home care package will tell you how valuable they find it and how useful it is and how much it does keep people in their homes um but i i think the issue there is is again capacity and availability of staff to provide those services yeah it is worrying um do you believe that we are are through a peak yet in terms of uh respiratory issues uh be it rsv uh covid or the flu for that matter well i suppose if we look at the health protection surveillance center figures it looks like we are past the peak um so cases of covid influenza and rsv have all fallen over the last two to three weeks there's still a significantly high levels particularly influenza um but they are falling and so you would hope that that does mean that we're beyond the peak but but still uh i suppose a significant knock-on effect in terms of presentations over the next number of weeks yeah for sure and and we the traditional respite then perhaps is not there because the hospital is is running over capacity it it almost seems all year round uh at this stage so the the fundamental problems we're talking about now need addressing because throughout the year it's not just a winter thing anymore no um and when you talk about the 25 patients today in surge capacity that means they're in places like day services or other services that then can't operate because uh they're full so that again has a knock-on effect so it's a vicious circle and you know there is huge healthcare demand just looking at the figures in my own surgery here today we've over 200 appointments scheduled in the surgery here today you know um a mixture of acute care routine care and chronic care so uh you know the demand is is always huge throughout the year and it's always difficult to manage and you know the system is doing its best but there isn't enough capacity out there to to deal with the demand that's there yeah okay um really interesting actually to get that sort of figure and from one GP practice will be the big one but still that's a lot of people okay uh thank you very much doctor i do appreciate your time take care of yourself that's dr Kiran Afari there talking about hospital crowd and just to recap those figures his own practice there over 200 appointments today alone uh 21 people on trolleys at letter candy university hospital there's 25 in surge capacities uh in over overflow areas uh in in in having an impact then in daycare stuff it's having an impact on other elements of the hospital and there's 24 people sitting down there in the hospital who are able to go home effectively sorry i must phrase that correctly they're fit to leave the acute hospital setting but they they're delayed for numerous reasons uh maybe family can't receive them at the moment which is something that was mentioned before um home care packages um places in in community hospitals um so that's 24 people and 24 mom's dad son's daughters aunt's uncles by multiple all concerned and worried about them hoping that their loved one gets

talk to uh deputy shin fame deputy podrick mcgloughlin about uh milford school and i suppose before getting to the good morning to you uh podrick good morning before getting to your meeting with the the minister um maybe you could outline to us sort of really what you already know and what came from the public meeting uh with parents in in milford read the concerns about the school yeah thanks greg and i had uh meself and the shin fame representative maria daherty had organized a a public meeting uh in milford town we would do these across the area and at the meeting in milford town just there in mid december um parents uh of children at scola were there uh in milford the national school came to the meeting and outlined their very serious concerns around the school um and uh on the back of that i had uh offered to go to the school the next morning and i had very short notice and i really appreciated it the the principal uh you know of the school and indeed um the the board of management uh chairman farver gorman and a number of the parents um took me around the school and like i as you can imagine like i've been a public rep for a long time greg i've been to a lot of schools and i've seen a lot of issues but i really was genuinely shocked what john dad's at you well it's just the totally cramped uh amenities it was built in in the late 1950s for a totally different time uh none of the classrooms would be up to the standard of department of education guidelines the corridors the toilets are totally inappropriate uh there's no proper sewerage system in the toilets the play amenities are just what about pick up pick up and drop off is that no yeah there's there's also road safety big road safety issues there greg because of the location i mean you're going up into a number of secondary schools all bottlenecked along with the national school you have a very busy road running alongside uh one of the main arteries in the milford area yeah so i mean the dunagall county council and indeed the guard of superintendents everybody has said this is a very questionable location so in every level you look at greg now the one thing i do want to point out was and it was totally obvious to me like the dedication of the principal of the teachers i mean all the parents i mean the level of education is absolutely exceptional at the school well listen it's it's that that's a sign of its success 220 pupils and growing now we've talked about schools in the past on this program and one of the issues often is is uh you know maybe the current site's not fit for redevelopment i would imagine that's the case here or there's not an alternative uh you know and we will get on to your minister with uh you meet with the minister in a moment but there that is one problem that doesn't necessarily exist here because a site a greenfield site is there effectively isn't it what's the status of that site yeah i mean they've looked at it there'd be much more cost effective to build a new school um to modern standards you know to give the children the best education possible um and they they have in the community identified location within the control points of the town um and they have been interacting with the landowner uh and indeed some of the local councillors have looked at the issue of planning you know so i think everything can be done but time is off the essence um and and indeed the message i got from uh the principal and from you know the the the um the board of management and the parents was that you know right now if they had hope you know if they knew that a new school was on the way that it was on the capital program going through the process they could knuckle down but the right now it's the lack of hope that things are going to change that they have patch work sort of things going on around site um well then let's get to that meeting with the minister did minister foley give any hope yeah well i i had submitted a parliamentary question uh greg and the first response uh you know usually drafted by our department officials i wasn't happy with it um i submitted a follow-up because i'm very conscious that minister foley had visited the school has seen for herself in recent times how bad the conditions are at the school and she personally understands that so i thought right i'm gonna go and i put another parliamentary question but i'm gonna have to meet her face to face so i met her yesterday um and we discussed the matter um i reminded her like she'd been to the school i took her through all the problems at the school um she asked me is there an alternative site and i said yes in the community i understand but time would be off the essence i also let her know that the school board of management have organized a briefing for local public representatives on friday the 9th of february um and you know it would be very useful if we had an updates by then and you know i i'd asked her to engage with her her local colleagues you know government representatives counselors and tds and the county um just to verify all of the points of megan because this will be a team effort um so i i found her receptive and she didn't make any commitments but she said she would discuss this with her colleagues in the county and try to give us an update so how does this work i mean does the school submit an application for a new build is that how this normally works have they done that does the department of education invite proposals like from here going forward how how do how does one get the ball rolling on on a completely new build of a school yeah it seems that the department i suppose the government to move the goalposts a number of years ago in terms of new schools you know this is a school capital buildings program it's called and they were focusing on the big cities the kind of commuter belts those areas with big population to the disadvantage of of the likes of dunagall and similar counties and instead what we're getting is sort of you know sort of prefabs and add-ons and you know patch up jobs and you know i think that's you have to fight them on this and you have to challenge them now it's to the credit of the school that they manage and the local public representatives that they got minister fully to visit the school it's really important that the minister sees it with her own eyes so she she can be in no doubt as to what the situation is there so what we need to do now is you know say that we can't accept you know the patch patch up work we need to have a date we need it on the capital program and we need to give hope that there's going to be in the near future a school that befits the teachers i mean i i i've been talking to the parents in the community and from seeing for myself the parents that day and the principal like you know i'm just going to say this the principal did work beyond the call of duty and her family there was a basement below the school you know storage area converted into a classroom they did that of their own time like the level of commitment is incredible but you can't take people for granted they need hope that it's going to get better and i think they deserve that all right well let's keep our fingers crossed thank you very much for that that's shin vain shin vain deputy podrick mclaughlin on the new school there and it's and if you're affected by that i.e. you've your work there maybe the principal's listening or you're a parent there you can lend your voice to it ahead of that meeting to that campaign you can lend your voice to it ahead of that meeting which is scheduled for the 9th of february i believe we were told there please greg tell greg you no longer get a medical card at 70 okay i'm sorry i didn't realize that i rented a room in a house with shared bills the bills kept getting higher when i asked for the actual paper proof of the bills surprise surprise they were not in fact that amount the letting agent made an excuse that needs so many it was a simple mistake then i discovered that two of the rooms rented via the owner were in fact 100 euro cheaper than the two via the letting agent be very wary of agents okay it doesn't sound ideal by any stretch of the imagination good morning greg the situation here in donningall is that irish water are responsible for the hydrants but the fire hydrant is a key piece of equipment in a firefighters arsenal and in my opinion all fire stations should be responsible for the servicing annually of all hydrants in the respective areas this would also help a building familiarity for the firefighters of the location of fire hydrants okay that's not a bad idea i suppose um leona uh who was on with us earlier on she's wrong about both she's wrong about print both print and digital are big look at all the worldwide tabloids still in print as well as digital it's not that wasn't coming from leona we had the head of one of the biggest news group uh biggest news groups uh that cover britain and arland they have the irish independent the sunday independent um and a few other papers it was he that said look there's no future for papers that's not me saying it he said and he runs a paper he says there's no future for paper for papers at the moment it's the revenue 70 percent paper sell sold papers they're and 30 digital he says there'll be no daily papers coming from their paper group in 2030 2033 he's not really quite sure of the date unequivocal he didn't say oh well we'll try the bottom line is is there's no not going to be any papers published by them on a daily basis also they're trying to get rid of the older journalists there's 50 voluntary redundancies people can get stuck in their ways you know the future is digital that's the bottom line and if you don't see that uh well then you know maybe that's one of the 50 that they're trying to get shot of in the arish independent because of course you know you do certain things a certain way for a certain amount of time it can be hard to switch to the inevitable i'm sure it's a uh i'm sure it's right across the board everyone's having to do it in the media it's not exclusive to newspapers so it's not the oldest point of view it's actually the owner of one of the biggest uh circulating newspapers but then you look at the farmers journal and uh they knock it out of the park every single week uh they're selling what is it over 300,000 copies and it's thick and it's quality and it's stories and it's interviews and it's progressing stories it's creating stories maybe that's the future i don't know it's not an area i work in or have any understanding of i just know from the people that run the big papers that is what they've been saying

We're just going through and seeing All this bunch of awesome snap-on The funny thing is you see how we had a whole bunch of diagnostic guys that were around here And they bugged out as soon as I turned the camera on But I don't know we might be able to find one. I bet you they're hiding up in there in the roll cab truck Everybody look hey, it's Kevin Kevin smiling you selling some tools No, you say hi Kevin you selling some tools today tools is yeah, you're selling a lot of them That's what we like to hear because everybody needs some little snap-on love in their life I Know you guys saw the rock-and-roll cab express, but I think we might walk up in here anyways Yes, Ed Hines.

This is pretty much snap-on heaven. There's some gear wrench stuff thrown in here and then They've got the epic The toolbox expressed in here. I Know you guys have already seen this one on video, but This is what I ended up choosing my toolbox off of the rock-and-roll cab express They don't want to be on video. So yeah Ed I'm pretty sure I'm going to be trying to film it this weekend. I was waiting on One other part for my toolbox But I was just waiting on that one to come in. I think it's coming in today or tomorrow something along those lines I was waiting on a switch set for the lights that are going to be going into my cabinet these epic cabinets They've got lights that come on when you open them. So if anybody's ordered one of the epic cabinets before you'll know that They the switch sets that they come with are normally open normally closed or a remote switch set so mine when they ordered it it came with a Normally open set which is what they have for the risers here So when you close it the light shuts off and you open it back up and it comes back on so got that But then for the cabinets, they're normally closed to be shut off So I have to do you know get the different switch set, but of course they're on backward. That's my luck Yeah See so they have this thing going on today for everybody that's on there's two Two different tool truck routes that they run this thing off of so they're doing a customer appreciation day where they serve everybody breakfast and all and then They're gonna be doing a couple of giveaways here as well Where everybody who spends a hundred bucks here, which is easy to do if anybody knows you spend a hundred bucks You get your name on a giveaway card, and then they're giving away Oh, let me just turn you guys around Given away 70 inch TV.
