There are fears for the wrecked boat known as "Bad Eddie", made famous by Bono and Clannad. And the young women who avoid getting smear tests because they're too embarrassed.

Clannad and Bono made the remains of a boat known as "Bad Eddie" famous by featuring it in their video for "In a Lifetime". The vessel washed up on the beach at Magheraclogher in West Donegal in the 1970s. It's become one of the most photographed images of the whole county. Now there are fears the deteriorating wreck could be removed from the beach.

And young women are avoiding getting smear tests because they're too embarrassed, a survey suggests. The charity Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust surveyed more than 2,000 women. A third said embarrassment caused them to delay getting a smear test, which can prevent 75 per cent of cervical cancers. We hear from Christina Glenn, whose daughter Sorcha died of cervical cancer.
