Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Reeling In The Queers - The History of Pride In Ireland
Q: Who founded the movement in Ireland and how did it start?
The movement emerged from a coalition across Northern Ireland and the Republic, with key groups forming in the 1970s, culminating in the Irish Gay Rights Movement and related organizations that established social spaces and advocacy work.
"I would rather vote for Hitler than a Tipperary man" - The Trouble with Redrawing Constituencies
Q: What are the constitutional constraints governing how many TDs there can be per constituency?
The constitution specifies a TD for every 20,000 to 30,000 people, which drives the number and size of constituencies and creates a need to adjust as the population grows.
Still No Public Inquiry Into The Sallins Train Robbery
Q: What would justify a public inquiry today, given the time that has passed?
They argue that fundamental questions about the integrity of investigations, the treatment of suspects, and the potential misuses of state power remain unanswered and deserve transparent exploration to safeguard citizens' rights.
Still No Public Inquiry Into The Sallins Train Robbery
Q: Why has there not been a formal government inquiry into the Sallins case?
The host and guest discuss political and governance factors, noting repeated refusals by ministers to order an inquiry, and suggest that a combination of procedural hesitations and political considerations has stalled accountability.
Still No Public Inquiry Into The Sallins Train Robbery
Q: What physical and psychological consequences did the alleged abuse have on the defendants over the years?
