On today’s episode of “Niall at Night”, host Niall opens the lines to listeners for a lively and thought-provoking discussion on a headline story that’s dividing opinion across Europe.

The move has sparked intense debate: is it a necessary step toward social cohesion and security, or an unnecessary intrusion into personal freedom?
On today’s show, Niall dives into one of the most talked-about government ads in years — a new TV campaign encouraging adult children to move back in with their parents.

On today’s show, Niall speaks with Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín following his fiery contribution in the Dáil yesterday — a speech that has already stirred intense debate nationwide.

Today, Niall opens the phone lines to tackle a dilemma many people quietly live with but rarely talk about openly.
We received an email from a man who has spent twenty years in the same job.

Some of his friends agree. Others tell him it would be reckless.
This week, Niall sits down with Cllr. Albert Deasy for a frank and timely discussion on a question many Irish households are quietly asking this winter: Why can the Government find another €125 million for Zelenskyy and Ukraine, yet refuse to fund energy credits for its own citizens—citizens who are facing some of the highest energy bills in the world?
