You don't tend to hear nice things about referees but I for one will only have good things to say about my guest today!

David has been a ref for years and is one of the most respected in GAA.

And he won the respect of the LGBTQ+ community when he publicly came out in 2015 in the campaigning for the Marriage Equality Referendum.

Since then, he has been fighting for Pride in the GAA and in sports. This week a documentary aired on TG4 with David at the helm, called Misneach: Bród sa Spórt, which looks at our sports and if they are a safe place for gay players.

You can watch it back on the TG4 player.

In this chat we discuss everything from doorknocking for permission to get married, to why it's harder to ref a small club game than a full house at Croker.

We also talked about how she got into acting, starting her career as a teen, and leaving to do live theatre, and why hearing Jaysus Christ in an Irish audience made her feel she was doing something right!

And we also talk about how a DM slide can sometimes be a good thing, and lead to love...

I have missed recording weekly for you all so I brought an amazing guest along! The wonderful Glen Power from The Script is here to talk about how he got into music and the band, the highs and lows of being on the road, shunning fame and of course, losing Mark Sheehan last year.

Glen often stayed in the background in the band so it was wonderful to hear his thoughts, his gratitude, his fears and his feelings on so many topics.

This is one that #TheScriptFamily will love but even those who are not huge fans.

In this episode of Tis Yourself, I sit down with dual-code Galway GAA star Alan Kerins to discuss his legendary sporting career and his transformative humanitarian work in Africa.

From winning an All-Ireland football medal to the physical and mental toll of playing both inter-county hurling and football simultaneously, Alan shares the highs and lows of life on the pitch. Beyond the stadium, Alan reveals the deeply personal inspiration behind the Alan Kerins Project and the Plant the Planet Games, an initiative that has seen over 50 GAA stars travel to Kenya to plant one million trees and support local livelihoods.

Topics Covered in This Episode:

• The Dual-Player Challenge: Alan discusses the immense pressure and "mentally draining" reality of playing both senior hurling and football for Galway.
• The Power of the GAA: How the GAA provides an "informal social support network" and a vital sense of identity and belonging.
• From Physiotherapy to Philanthropy: The "trigger" moments—from childhood memories of Live Aid to a life-changing encounter in a hospital ward—that led Alan to Zambia and beyond.
• Plant the Planet Games: The story behind the historic 2022 and 2023 trips where 50+ inter-county players, including stars like Dan Morrissey and Jane Adams, traded boots for shovels to combat climate change and poverty.
• Building Resilient Children: Alan’s guiding philosophy: "It’s far easier to build strong children than to fix broken adults."

Whether you're a GAA fanatic interested in the grit of inter-county sports or looking for an inspiring story of how one person can ignite global change, this conversation is a must-listen. Donate to Alan's cause here: https://selfhelpafrica.org/ie/plant-the-planet-games/

Not only is he a Pieta ambassador, but he is also a survivor. Someone who had his battles with his mental health but he made a huge step- he asked for help.

While he was lifting the Sam Maguire, inside he was sinking, but reaching out gave him help, guidance, tools and a love for living again.

A very important chat.
