Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CorkToday 26th March 2026
Q: What's the main challenge with the Warmer Homes Scheme right now?
Delays in borough assessments and a shortage of assessors are causing lengthy wait times, particularly for the elderly, which hampers timely energy upgrades.
CorkToday 23rd March 2026
Q: What is the Right to Be Forgotten legislation about for cancer survivors?
Emma Hart explains that it removes cancer history from being a barrier to obtaining financial products, such as mortgage protection, after five years of remission, and that the government has committed to this five-year standard.
CorkToday 20th March 2026
Q: What can be expected from the government on fuel price relief next Tuesday?
The guest explained that measures would depend on policy decisions, noting that six days' notice can create demand spikes and that a sustained, strategic approach is needed rather than short-term fixes.
CorkToday 10th March 2026
Q: What is Rosie O'Donnell's perspective on living in Ireland and her personal journey here?
She describes moving to Ireland as a turning point for her identity and mental health, emphasizes her pride in Irish heritage, and discusses her experience raising an autistic child in a new country.
CorkToday 5th March 2026
Q: How long does it take to qualify as a paramedic and what changes are being made to contracts?
Paramedics complete a three-year training program and are typically offered permanent contracts, but a recent change has given 76 newly qualified paramedics only 16-week temporary contracts, creating uncertainty and potential staff losses.
