The Regrets That Still Haunt Us. Episode 554

Niall sits down with social commentator Karl Deeter to unpack one of the most striking moments from the recent presidential debate — when both candidates revealed their biggest regret was how Covid restrictions were handled.

Catherine Connolly admitted she lost trust in the government’s approach and regretted not challenging the extension of restrictions, while Heather Humphreys reflected on the tragedy of allowing the elderly to die alone due to hospital and nursing home rules.

Together, Niall and Karl explore what lessons Ireland has — or hasn’t — learned from that time. They also open the phone lines to listeners sharing their own stories and regrets, from missed final goodbyes to small businesses that never reopened.
