Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show Live Broadcast from Currin NS!
We were absolutely delighted to welcome the Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show to broadcast live from our school this morning. The hall was full, the atmosphere was electric, and the excitement among the children was something we’ll never forget.
The entire event was so child-centred, and it was heart-warming to see how engaged and included the children were throughout. Ian, Mario and Shauna were absolutely fantastic with the kids — warm, patient, encouraging, and genuinely interested in everything they had to say. They helped make the morning truly special for every child involved.
A huge thank you to Ian, Mario, Charlie, Shauna, and the entire Today FM team for their professionalism, energy, and kindness. It was a pleasure to have you all with us.
We are also incredibly grateful to our fantastic Parents’ Association for organising refreshments on the day for the Today FM crew and the audience, and to our generous sponsors for supporting this special event including Lakeland Dairies, SuperValu Ballyconnell and The Lunch Bag. Thanks also to Karen Greene for all the photographs from the event.
