The tough time for tech employees continues as Facebook confirmed they are to cut 13% of their global workforce. Around 11,000 of the 87,000 staff employed by parent company 'Meta' will be let go as the company tightens its belt. With around 3000 staff and 6000 contractors in Ireland, there's likely to be job losses here as well as in Meta's other locations. Jess Kelly from Tech Talk on Newstalk joined Dermot and Dave to explain what this will mean for Irish staff, and why Meta have come to this decision.

Cathal wants to follow in the line of many famous gingers including Mick Hucknall. Cathal from the Dermot and Dave show recently told the lads that he's thinking about getting an earring. Well, it seems his wishes are about to come true. The lads tracked down Liam O'Grady from Be Pierced in Wexford has kindly offered to come up and pierce Cathal.

If you ever want an insight into someone's head, play them some music and get them to say stuff. That's what works for us anyway! In Say Stuff That Suits the Music, Dave plays Dermot pieces of music he's never heard before and the result is both bonkers and hilarious.

Nearly 10,000 miles with no real plan, no money, no car and no plane. A total doddle right??

When you think of iconic Irish moments, two tend to spring to mind. Italia 90 and Riverdance. From the moment the crowd cheers as Michael Flatley and Jean Butler finish their routine, it’s clear that history has been made. Now, the backstory of how Riverdance came to be has been documented in a brand new book. Producer Bill Whelan has released his memoir ‘The Road to Riverdance’ which takes us from his home in Limerick in the 1950’s to the seven minutes that changed the world via working with U2 and Kate Bush. Bill joined Dermot and Dave to take us on the road with him!

Rory Hearne recently described the country as ‘broken’. The reason is sky-high homelessness, an entire generation unable to buy their own home and seemingly no end to the housing crisis that has blighted Ireland for decades. In his new book ‘Gaffs: Why No One Can Get A House…And What We Can Do About It’, Rory explains how the current situation has arisen, the impact it’s having on thousands of people, and the solution he thinks we need to take. Rory joined Dermot and Dave to chat about ‘Generation Locked Out’, Government policy and how he sees the next few years panning out.

He can sing, he can dance...but can he act? Harry Styles has been lighting up the silver screen with roles in 'Don't Worry Darling' and is now coming to our telly with 'My Policeman'. We heard how you can watch Harry, and what the reviews say, in Pamela's Telly.

For many, it's a right of passage. Leaving Certificate, college course and into the world of work. But is it always the right answer? The Ul@Work Human Capital Initiative Conference On Transforming Higher Education is taking place and they're looking at how the world of college education could be set to change. One person who has embraced the notion of 'dual-track learning' is Hannah Wrixon from Wrk Wrk.

She's the star of Netflix hits 'Enola Holmes' and 'Stranger Things' Millie Bobby Brown had a chat with Cathal from the Dermot and Dave show ahead of the release of Enola Holmes 2.

We don’t think we’ve ever met someone who loves a tomato as much as Michael Kelly.
