Niall is joined by social commentator and podcaster Elaine Mullally to discuss the controversy surrounding the will of legendary Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld. His relatives are reportedly challenging his decision to leave a French home, garden and a multimillion bank account to his housekeeper — partly to ensure care for his beloved Birman cat.
Today Niall sits down with social commentator and restaurateur Paul Treyvaud to tackle one of the most contentious digital debates right now — protecting children online versus protecting personal privacy. While polls suggest most people support banning under-16s from social media, there’s far less agreement about how that would actually work.
On today’s show, Niall opens the phones to tackle a debate that’s clearly striking a nerve. A recent Irish Daily Mail poll suggests more than half of respondents agree with a Circuit Court judge who described cyclists on our roads as “a nightmare.” But cyclists argue motorists often fail to respect them — and that they have just as much right to the road as anyone else.
In this episode, Niall sits down with Columist David Quinn to unpack two stories stirring strong debate on both sides of the Atlantic. First, they discuss the latest report from the US House Judiciary Committee examining what it calls “foreign censorship” and its claims about Europe’s regulation of online speech — including Ireland’s role in shaping digital policy and the broader questions around free expression, politics, and regulation in the digital age.
On today’s show, Niall reads a powerful and deeply honest email from a woman married for 20 years, with three children all under 16. On the surface, her life looks stable — no rows, no drama, no big blow-ups — but underneath, she feels stuck, disconnected, and quietly unhappy.
This week on the podcast, Niall is joined by two voices who never shy away from a straight answer.

On today’s episode, Niall is joined by Cathal Leavy from P.A.W.S. to discuss a case that shocked the internet long before “going viral” became routine — and which has now resurfaced, reigniting fierce debate about punishment, cruelty, and justice.
In this episode, host Niall is joined by journalist and columnist Ian O’Doherty to tackle one of the most uncomfortable questions resurfacing in public life: are we now too quick to assume guilt by association?
Ireland is in the midst of a housing emergency — rents and homelessness are rising, while tens of thousands of homes sit empty. According to the 2022 Census, there were over 160,000 properties recorded as vacant across the State — nearly 8 % of all housing stock
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?”

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.
