Podcast

On today’s podcast, Niall is joined by journalist Fatima Gunning from Gript Media to discuss a deeply sensitive and divisive situation sent in by a listener. A mother has contacted the show after discovering that her 15-year-old daughter is pregnant by her 17-year-old boyfriend. While the young couple have reportedly been together for two years, the parents are now sharply divided on what to do next. The father believes the only responsible course of action is to go to the Gardaí and report the boyfriend.

Following developments in the UK, where MPs have voted in favour of tighter restrictions that could effectively ban under-16s from accessing social media platforms, many are now asking whether Ireland is next.

Today on the podcast, Niall is joined by Jackie Flannery from the Irish Rural Farmers Association to discuss the growing backlash from family carers following a major move by the Revenue Commissioners.

Today on the podcast, Niall is joined by financial commentator and public policy analyst Karl Deeter to tackle a provocative legal and social question: Should Ireland introduce a statute of limitations on certain criminal prosecutions — excluding murder and rape?

In this episode, Niall is joined by Daragh Cassidy of Bonkers.ie to unpack the relentless rise in car insurance costs — and the real-life consequences for ordinary families.

In this episode, Niall is joined by David Quinn, journalist and spokesperson for The Iona Institute, to discuss a stark new paper warning that Ireland is on the wrong course when it comes to marriage, family life, and population growth.

On today’s programme, Niall is joined by Eilís Mulroy, pro-life campaigner and commentator, to revisit one of the most consequential decisions in modern Irish history — the repeal of the Eighth Amendment.

This week on the show, Niall is joined by John McGuirk of Gript Media to tackle a question that goes right to the heart of Irish diplomacy — and Irish pride. If Taoiseach Micheál Martin is invited to the White House for St Patrick’s Day, should he refuse to go?

Today on the show, Niall opens the phone lines to callers to debate major new changes to Ireland’s rental laws coming into force from March 1st. Under the new rules, landlords will no longer be able to end a tenancy simply because they wish to sell their property. While landlords can still sell, any sale must now take place with tenants remaining in situ, and buyers must accept the property as an active tenancy rather than a vacant home.
