  • Too many ads

    This used to be my favourite podcast but it’s not the same anymore. The ads at the beginning go on for too long and now there are ads in the middle as well. The add-on extract at the end is annoying too.

  • Too many ads

    Used to enjoy this podcast, but it has become unlistenable. Selling ads in every available way & place, forced in the middle, massive section of selling the new paid content. Unlistenable.

Q: When did they start pushing forward with the project and why did they proceed despite refusals?
They bought land in 2005, consulted officials who reportedly found no issues, and moved ahead by filing for retention after initial refusals, choosing to build a much larger house than approved, driven by financial capacity during the Celtic Tiger era.

Influencer Chloe Koyce gets 'justice' as Dublin man convicted of stalking
Q: How does this case illustrate the practical impact of Ireland's new anti-stalking legislation?
