In this festive special, Niall sits down with renowned restaurateur and social commentator Paul Treyvaud for a no-nonsense, start-to-finish guide to cooking the ultimate Christmas dinner.
Today on the show, Niall opens the phone lines to debate a question that always sparks strong opinions at this time of year:
Should Christmas Eve be a public holiday in Ireland?
Today, Niall is joined by property expert Karl Deeter to unpack a family dilemma that’s struck a nerve with listeners. We received an email from a furious listener whose parents have decided to sell their €500,000 family home and downsize to a rental apartment, saying they want to enjoy the money during their retirement. The problem? The listener is still living with them along with her young child after a divorce — and she feels her parents are “robbing her of her home and inheritance.”
In today’s episode, Niall kicks off by talking about a tweet he recently put out stirring up debate on public-sector work and accountability: “Reform UK say they want to encourage public-sector workers to report colleagues who aren’t ‘doing useful work’ or who aren’t productive.
Many people believe civil servants and public-sector workers have it easier and with strong job security and little risk of being fired, compared to the private sector.
In this episode, host Niall speaks with TD Paul Lawless about the rejection of the abortion bill and the key arguments that led to its defeat in the Dáil. Paul shares his perspective on the vote, the concerns raised by TDs, and what the outcome means for future legislation.
This episode kicks off with an email that struck a nerve — and judging by the phones, a lot of listeners had opinions. Niall reads out a message from a wife who’s furious after her husband only mentioned his work Christmas party days before it happens — no partners invited, free bar involved, and all the usual “sure nothing ever happens” reassurances that nobody fully believes.
In this episode, Niall is joined by journalist Larissa Nolan to tackle a question that’s sparking heated debate around the world: Is college becoming pointless in the age of AI? The conversation is fuelled by controversial comments from Elon Musk, who claims universities are “for fun and proving you can do your chores — not for learning.” Musk argues that with a smartphone, internet access and AI, you can learn anything you need for free.
In this episode, Niall is joined by David Quinn, journalist and columnist with the Sunday Independent, for a challenging and wide-ranging conversation on Islamic extremism, public debate, and the growing confusion around what is, and is not anti-Semitism.
In this episode, Niall opens the phone lines after receiving an email that’s struck a nerve with pet lovers and budget-watchers alike. A listener says he’s literally in the doghouse after a blazing row with his wife — not over the kids or the mortgage, but over the dog.
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. Tóibín claimed that members of the Government have become “brainwashed by trans activists” and that not one of them is willing to answer what he calls a “simple question”: “What is a woman?”
Niall is joined by journalist and author Dr. Eoin Lenihan to discuss his provocative new book, Vandalising Ireland, which explores how Ireland has changed dramatically over the past 25 years — from the Celtic Tiger years to the political landscape of today.
In this episode, Niall tackles a controversial question: Should parents be fined when their children commit crimes?
On this episode, Niall dives into a question that’s dividing opinion: Has Ireland’s public transport gotten so bad that we now need a dedicated police force to patrol it?
In this episode, Niall opens the lines to discuss a hot-button issue: Child Benefit. Currently set at €140 a month per child and paid universally—regardless of income—this payment also increases for twins, triplets, and other multiple births. But should wealthier families earning over €100,000 a year still receive it? Or should that money be redirected to boost payments for low-income families instead?
In this powerful episode, Niall sits down with Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín to discuss the tragic case of nine-year-old Harvey Morrison Sherratt, who died at the end of July after waiting years for a scoliosis operation. Peadar outlines the failures in Ireland’s healthcare system that left Harvey without the care he desperately needed and explains why he is calling for then–Health Minister Simon Harris to resign over the tragedy.
When a distressed parent emails Niall about her 20-year-old daughter joining OnlyFans, the phone lines light up. In the studio, Niall is joined by Samaria — an OnlyFans creator and performer — to unpack the controversy.
