Episode Details

The Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival gets underway with tens of thousands of people expected in the Clare village over the coming weeks. But while it's a time of fun and celebration for many, it can also be a difficult period for those experiencing loneliness, anxiety or other personal challenges. Samaritans volunteers were on the ground, and offered a listening ear, after supporting more than 150 people at last year's festival. To find out more about this year’s Samaritan involvement, Samaritans volunteer and Festival Director, Seán Breathnach joined Alan Morrissey on Monday’s Morning Focus. Image (c) Samaritans
