Our show opened with a controversy surrounding Taoiseach Enda Kenny. Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams says the Taoiseach is 'making an eejit of himself' in the controversy over his claims the army was almost called in to protect banks during the financial crisis.
After an embarrassing week for the Taoiseach, who was forced to admit that he did not receive a “specific” briefing from the governor of the Central Bank that the army would have to surround ATMs after he took office, FG Senator Tony Mulcahy spoke to Gavin about the controversy.
Anne Dempsey of Senior Helpline spoke to Gavin of fears that older people can have around the season of Hallowe'en.
The issue of ladies' sport was also discussed. Sport Ireland says girls are most likely to drop out of sporting activities in their teenage years.
A conference in Dublin heard this week from organisations and female athletes about how to encourage more girls and women to get involved in sports.
The event in Dublin Castle, which was jointly hosted by the Department of Justice and Equality and the Department of Transport Tourism and Sport, was looking to 'level the playing field'.

Kevin Donoghue, President of USI, told Morning Focus of his organisation's opposition to the proposed student loan scheme.
Tim Hanley, School Programmes Administrator Concern, told Gavin that the organisation is looking for debate adjudicators in Clare.
