Damien what an amazing speaker your doing incredible work ...i wish yourself ,wife & family all the best ...well done on turning your life around and sharing your story it will help many .

Good to hear Damien speaking about drug induced psychosis. This is not mentioned often enough.

Very good talk Damien on addiction well done

3 gents, fantastic episode. A commitment to changing the process of vetting sounds brilliant.Well done Gillian girl!! So proud to b from cork when listening 👏👏

Young people need to hear this. Getting into situations even down to toxic relationships that inevitably will end up getting most likely the fella convictions. I agree with what ye say about the vetting system. When you serve your time and have proven commitment to change people have to be given a chance of employment and to better themselves and the lives of their families. Great talk guys

The utmost of respect to all an inspirational hour again ... there should be a reform of some description to help people recover from mistakes of youth which result from a variety of causes .... people are still too quick to judge and stigmatise and unwilling to forget or give credit where it is due ..... So many Prisoners of Birth in this world not allowed to break free of a life sentence due to a postcode or family circumstances..... Damien is another brilliant example of humanity and determination I advise everyone to watch the podcast ..... James, and Timmy along with Lynn Ruane after her appearance here have become my heroes of lockdown and I cannot forget Gillian who’s story was incredible, honest and sincere.... after sharing a coffee recently I was honoured and blessed to listen to such gratitude for life but listening to the struggle and obstacles to move beyond the past is as much a crime of which society is guilty of denying others freedom ... Congratulations on your achievements to date and I’m sure things will get better by the day for you all ...

What a shame it would of been if this guy didn't eventually get a chance. Well done Damien... Brilliant podcast as always lads, keep up the great work!!

3 years for a kilo of Cannabis, if only the drug courts understood shit!! Sending blessings to Damian. Well done again lads and Gillian 🙏🙏

Well done damien sham, your doing deadly, thanks too the two norries

Very raw courageous interview from Damian. Fair play. Should be visiting every school in Ireland talking about his experience. Convictions should absolutely be expunged after a period of constructive behaviour.

Well Damiem fair play to ya glad to see your doing well keep up the great work your doing & well done lads 👌

Great story , well done to Damien 👏👏 Another great podcast guys 👏👏

Well done lads related to almost everything...loved what you said about the peace ye had inside... At one point in my life after another sentence I once said to a few people the only time I was free was when I was locked 🔐 up sad but very true...

Lovely chap, great content as always team.

Well done Damien. Keep up the good work.

Brilliant podcast 👌

Weekly fix got, can't wait for the next one. Yet another GREAT podcast. Well done lads, AND Gillian. Good man Damien - God love him. "Judging" people by their PAST criminal records and them not getting jobs based on them would be enough to most definitely push some, if not most, over the edge and back into a life of "crime" - I would assume it would be a thought pattern of "that's all I'm ever going to be seen as, so I may as well continue to be just that" - terribly self destructive behaviour. Good on Timmy, and others, for reintergrating "criminals" back into the workplace without judgement. In my very humble opinion, there needs to be a serious mindshift around people's pasts, in general. PS: Sound relationship advice 😁

Well done Damien.

keep up the fantastic work...

Great interview lads as always 👌👌

Fairplay Damian

great podcast. great work. great role models.

I wonder how I can link in with Damien? I'm interested in the RPL for myself and others as I am a Smart Recovery facilitator and many of the peers have reintegration and unverified skills issues. I am very interested in setting up a halfway house/retreat/re-education ctr for recovering addicts esp those who had traumatic childhoods which as we know can lead to addiction. Great podcast, full of hope and a brighter future for society's scapegoats ❤

Hi Sharon thank you 😁 you can contact me on 118227456@umail.ucc.ie would love to link in with you guys on this 😊

Hes cool man

This falla made me laugh yet he nearly made me cry also. I couldn't cry because I was driving a bus.. I met a few guys like him over the years. Hair cut and all. Very intelligent and interesting man. Keep up the good work lads.

there is a first for everything taking a weekend off from a prison sentence >lol . I really enjoyed listing to Damien he spoke really well however is it a sad state that a person is focused and determined to seek a road of recovery has to be haunted by there convictions , the powers that are yak on about mental health yet there are so many needless obstacle's that could be fixed , a more insure and vulnerable e person could easily head back down the wrong path to addiction because the life they are trying to exist from keeps getting thrown back at them at every opportunity to help themselves. politicians please listen . i had a similar experience where i had to take my name of the council list so my girlfriend and son could be housed because of my convictions .

Lads want to go in to give theres heads a rest from addiction and been torment for money

Wouldn't it b a great little island if we looked after r own, but sure look we lost the civil war all down hill from there,☘️🍀💉💉🐑🐑
