Ten Minutes To Go... Can You Wait?!

You'll just have to, I'm afraid.

But never fear, today's show will be worth your fingernails having been bitten down to the quick. In but ten minutes hear all about:

- The protests at Dublin City Council by angry locals (tm) over proposed swimming pool closures and all the other environmental tid-bits from the evening's debates.

- Why aren't Ireland's beaches blue? Because they're mostly that off-grey coarse sand that gets between your toes for days. But now we have less Blue Flag beaches than we've had for a decade. We find out why.

- Seen many building cranes on the Dublin skyline lately? For most it probably means better evening vistas but for budding architectural graduates it's a source of despair. We visit DIT's Graduate Show to find out how Dublin's face will change in the new sustainable future and how graduates are coping.

- Bought a pack of eco-friendly light bulbs? Good for you. We talk to a family that's going a little further in their pursuit of a green lifestyle, with all the green ideas coming from the children and their school.

The podcast of the programme will be available tomorrow, right here on the blog. But you're hardly going to miss it now, are you?
