In this episode, Niall is joined by Peadar Tóibín from Aontú to discuss predictions for Budget 2026. With a total package of €9.4 billion on the table — including €7.9 billion in extra public spending and €1.5 billion in tax cuts — the Government says it’s shifting away from once-off cost-of-living supports and moving towards more permanent measures. But where should that money really go?

In this episode, Niall talks to Senator Gerard Craughwell to discuss the upcoming presidential election, his views on the race, and what’s at stake for Ireland.

Host Niall talks with former election candidate Elaine Mullay and Finacial Expert Karl Deeter  about a developing trend overseas — in the Netherlands there’s a push to introduce laws that would give people a legal right to work remotely (or at least from home), under certain conditions.

Niall opens the lines for one of the most heated dilemmas yet: A wife admits to slapping her husband in front of her friends. She says it was “just a tap” in the middle of a row, and that she’s been apologizing ever since.

This week, Niall is joined by Jason Osborne from Gript Media to tackle one of the most morally gut-wrenching questions imaginable.

Last Friday, Niall applauded the actions of Matt Robinson—the father who restrained his own son, Tyler, and handed him over to police after the murder of Charlie Kirk. But not everyone agreed. One X user responded:

In this episode, Niall opens the phone lines to tackle a sensitive and urgent issue: childhood obesity in Ireland. A new UNICEF report shows that one in five Irish children is overweight or obese—twice the global rate—and in DEIS schools, that figure rises to one in four.
