Niall asks listeners for their views on one of the most divisive moral and social issues facing Ireland today, surrogacy. The debate reignited last week after an American commercial surrogacy company planned to hold an event in a Dublin hotel called “Babies and Bites”. The event was later cancelled following public backlash and questions surrounding the legality of promoting commercial surrogacy in Ireland.
Ireland decided last year to boycott the Eurovision Song Contest because of Israel’s participation. RTÉ has also decided not to broadcast the hugely popular song contest.

On this episode of the podcast, Niall debates the tipping culture row that has exploded online after a restaurant sign went viral.

Part two of the podcast where Niall talks to Eric Nelligan about growing outrage after parents at a new secondary school were informed that students will be using mixed-sex toilets. Some parents, particularly mothers of teenage girls, have described the decision as “disgraceful”, arguing that schools are ignoring privacy, dignity and safety concerns in the name of modern ideology. Critics say many parents are now afraid to speak up for fear of being labelled intolerant, while schools continue pushing policies that the vast majority of families are uncomfortable with.

Niall talks to John McGuirk about growing controversy over Government plans to potentially offer Ukrainian refugees a cash payment to voluntarily return home. Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan says no final decision has been made yet, but confirmed the Government is considering “mechanisms” to encourage Ukrainians who wish to return home, possibly with financial assistance.

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?

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.

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 […]
They say “All politics is local”, in the past it is how politics in Ireland worked. A politician who worked hard for his constituents was sure to have a long political career. But in recent years this does not seem to be the case in the sense that the “Local Interests” (interest of the Irish citizen) seems to be ignored Local Authorities in favour of Big Business, Developers and International Investors. Central Funds are only released following the various EU Directives and Regulations coming from the “EU” and Climate Change which at most times do not make sense from an Irish perspective socially or financially.
