Well, the time has arrived. Nearly three years after I asked, no, TOLD my web designers that I NEEDED a blog section on my website, today is the day I enter “bloggosphere” (is that a word?). Anyway, I have flirted with the whole blogging scene and to be honest my contributions extended no further that promoting bits and pieces that we covered or were about to cover on the radio show, however, I have decided that today is the day I become a blogger! I hope to meander, provoke and entertain. I’m not entirely sure how yet, but you have to start somewhere………..

Well, I promised some exclusive competitions for our online friends, and this is the first one.

Fancying seeing Connacht play on Good Friday at the sportsground? I have two tickets to be won, to enter simply email jimmy@jimmynorman.ie with your name, contact number and answer to this question:

Who will succeed Michael Bradley as coach this summer?

Winner will be picked on Thursday evening.

Best of luck!

The first ever fashion innovation awards will be held in the Radisson Blu hotel, Galway on Thursday night next. I spoke to Sinead Ni Neachtain about the awards.

Well, it’s been covered extensively over the past 24 hours or so, George Lee has resigned his Dail seat and membership of the Fine Gael party. Everyone seems to have an opinion on it and we want yours! Please vote below and listen in to the breakfast show for the results.

It is being proposed by the Government that the inquiry into the recent banking crisis be held in private. If you feel that a private inquiry is NOT the way to deal with this, please contact a member of the Dail to let them know. Contact details are below.
