In this episode, Niall talks to financial commentator Karl Deeter about whether TikTok and social media are fuelling a new and deadly wave of joyriding, or whether politicians are looking for a convenient scapegoat following the horrific M9 tragedy.

Five teenage boys died after the BMW they were travelling in was driven the wrong way along the M9 near Moone in Co Kildare and collided head on with a Hyundai carrying three women and a seven year old boy. Gardaí are continuing to investigate all of the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Limerick Women’s Prison was operating at approximately 161% of capacity. The overcrowding crisis has renewed calls from penal reform advocates for greater use of community service, probation and other alternatives to short custodial sentences, particularly for offenders who do not pose a serious threat to the public.

Dear Editor, History tells us that centuries of ethnic history cannot be changed into a “one size fits all” identity. It also tells us that time does not eliminate cultural differences. We only have to see the 12th of July Celebrations in Northern Ireland to recognise this. Spending vast amounts […]
The main idea behind “Working from Home” was originally to give workers a better work-life balance and, at the same time, save on long commuting times to and from the workplace, which in many cases meant a worker spending hours in their car, causing traffic congestion in all our major cities.
Dear Editor, When Ireland transposed this Directive into Irish law, it tipped the scales in such a way that it protects civil servants, hinders the public interest, and places a blindfold over the Freedom of Information laws that were already in place. It ignored Section 6(e), which relates to the […]
Dear Editor,
Danish CPR number (Det Centrale Personregister) is a lifelong identification number essential for living, working, and accessing services in Denmark. It serves as a national ID for taxation, banking, healthcare (yellow card), and public authority communication.
It is typically issued when registering residency for over three months. It gives Danes their vote automatically when they reach 18, and others when they get Danish citizenship in real time. It is mandatory to keep one’s permanent address updated.
Dear Editor,
Ireland has between 33,000 and 34,000 registered Non-Governmental Bodies or charities, mostly funded by the Government in one way or another. Along with this, we have a Housing Crisis, despite billions of euros being poured into Social Housing through 438 Registered Approved Housing Bodies and the expensive HAP (Housing Accommodation Scheme).
On a recent trip to Dublin I was mulling over the obsession some politicians nowadays have over changing the names of roads and parks which according to them are not reflective of the Irish Republic. Then I came across the statue of William Smith O’Brien on O’Connell St.
Denmark is one of the most successful countries when it comes to the uptake of cycling. In Copenhagen there are miles of cycling lanes covering the whole city. Cycle lanes are divided by a kerb or marked which ensures the safety of pedestrians and separates the cyclist from motorists.
Dear Editor Danish Dan Jorgensen, Commissioner Dan Jorgensen for The Environment & Housing, has stated at present in the EU there are 1,000,000 people homeless, 75,000,000 living in overcrowded accommodation circumstance and 45,000,000 cannot afford to heat their home. While the EU gives funding towards Housing as a rule it […]
23/02/26 Dear Editor, We hear a lot about the Local Authority Housing List, but few people ever get to see this list. Data Protection in this case has led to the lack of transparency. So, how transparent can this list be if only a select few see it? To my […]
