Niall sits down with veteran journalist David Quinn to unpack a Business Post poll that’s shaking up the social media debate in Ireland — one that suggests an overwhelming majority of people want Twitter/X banned in Ireland.

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.

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?
