Gortú Inchinne, Tinte Aitinn, Trump agus an FBI. Featuring Brain Injury Week, gorse fires, and Trump and the FBI.

Labhraíonn máthair Phádraig Schäler, Pat O'Byrne agus a dheirfiúir, Maria Schäler le Máire Bhreathnach faoin droch-thimpiste a bhí ag Pádraig in 2013 a bhfuair sé gortú inchinne as.  Insíonn siad fosta do Mháire faoin togra atá á fhorbairt acu, 'An Saol', a bheas mar chlár píolóta do chúigear le gortú inchinne thar tréimhse 3 bliana.  Chomh maith leis sin, tá an tír trí thine ag tinte aitinn le déanaí agus aon trian de cheann de na foraoisí is mó sa tír i gContae na Gaillimhe dóite. Insíonn Edward O'Shea, ceannaire Stáisiún Bhriogóid Dóiteáin na Ceathrún Rua i nGaillimh, faoina n-iarrachtaí chun dul i ngleic leis an tine.  Labhraíonn James Wilson, iriseoir leis an Irish Central, le Máire as BBC NY chomh maith le Dónall Mac Giolla Chóill agus iad beirt ag plé Trump agus é tar éis bata agus bóthair a thabhairt do James Comey, stiúrthóir an FBI.  

Pádraig Schäler's mother, Pat O'Byrne and his sister Maria Schäler, speak to Máire Bhreathnach about Pádraig's life-changing accident which resulted in Severe Acquired Brain Injury. They tell Máire about their efforts to develop the project, 'An Saol', which will be a pilot project for five people with brain injuries over a three year period.  Also, gorse fires around Ireland are wreaking havoc and one of the worst was at the 4,000-hectare forest in County Galway.  We speak to Edward O'Shea, station manager in Carraroe Fire Station in County Galway about their efforts to quench the fire. Journalists James Wilson, who joins us live from New York, and Dónall Mac Giolla Chóill speak to Máire about Trump and his firing of the FBI director, James Comey.
