Growing numbers of people are at risk of a delayed cancer diagnosis as clinics see a big fall off in the numbers being referred by GPs. There is a concern that people with potential cancer symptoms, especially older people, are staying away from getting checked due to worries about catching Covid-19. Is fear of Covid-19 making you delay getting yourself checked?

US President Donald Trump has vowed to order a military crackdown on protests in the United States, saying he’d send troops onto the streets of Washington DC, and threatening to deploy soldiers to states unable to regain control. This comes a week after the death in Minneapolis of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who had been pinned down with a knee to the neck by a police officer - leading to the worst civil unrest in decades. Thousands of people marched through Dublin city centre yesterday as part of a peaceful protest against the killing. How do you feel about what’s happening in the US at the moment? Did you go to the protests yesterday? Do you think this is a good time to open up a conversation about racism in Ireland?

Should we come down harder on Anti-social behavior?

A listener got in touch - 'I have always had a huge fear of public speaking...I got promoted just before Christmas and was asked to speak at an event later in the summer...now the company have made it a much bigger event by putting it online – so instead of a small audience of less than 100 people, it will have far more attendees and lots from outside Ireland and I’ll have to deliver to a screen which seems even harder!
