Gift Grub: Who CAN Manage The Irish Football Team?

As we all know, there are Irish people dotted all over the world, and thousands of them still tune into Today FM every day for a little taste of home. Well, Ian is doing something very exciting this Christmas - he will be flying one lucky listener who is living abroad (and up to three of their friends or family members) to spend the festive period at home here in Ireland. The lucky winner will be chosen on the 15th of December and Ian will be catching up with all 5 of the finalists between now and then. This morning, he spoke to Ciara Maguire from Cork, who is living in Australia. Click the play button above to hear Ciara's chat with Iano.
