How strictly should we follow the hosepipe ban?
About this episode
Sinead Ryan discusses her views on the hosepipe ban and its implications for gardening and community interactions.
“I’m no Peter O’Mahony, but I’ll be damned if any clipboard-bearing official is going to stop me watering my hydrangeas... I’ve put blood, sweat and tears into my very modest patch, so watering is a must. And, while I get on well with my neighbours, if one of them rats me out, well, that’s the end of chit-chats over the fence.” So says Sinead Ryan, Irish Independent Columnist and Presenter of The Home Show on Newstalk in reaction to the hosepipe ban, in place until August 26. She joins Ciara to discuss.
