Our colleague Padraig Mulligan is due on Morning Ireland shortly (scheduled for 08:45). Roscommon County Council CEO Eugene Cummins was on the programme this morning at 07:20.

Head of our Local Government division Peter Nolan will be on Sean O'Rourke's programme on RTE Radio one around 11am. This is how the Irish Times is currently reporting today's strike action.

Just a reminder that the news bulletins were published yesterday, you'll find them all here and on the website.

Don't forget, the rally for Roscommon is on Saturday (23rd) at 2pm. Details here.
