  • Not very objective

    Very pro US editorial line, could do with more balance for an Irish public service current affairs show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Disability supports
Q: What do you say to that minister?
The government acknowledges the concerns raised but insists previous payments were not targeted and emphasizes ongoing payment increases as a more sustainable solution.
Disability supports
Q: What had you been promised or what had you been expecting from government, given what was said in the run up to the election?
Initially, there were promises to prioritize disability issues, but in the actual budget, only 10% of the disability population accesses services, leaving many without adequate support.
What next for the taxi protest?
Q: Do you support their cause?
Yes, absolutely. The fixed fare model isn't part of the regulations as they stand, making the current regulations redundant.
Man jailed for life for murder of John Mackey
Q: How difficult was it for you to read out the victim impact statement?
It was very difficult, but I was determined to represent my family and share who John was beyond the tragedy.
Man jailed for life for murder of John Mackey
Q: Can you bring me back though, Pat, to that really horrific day when you learned of the brutal attack?
It was absolutely awful; I received a call from Stephen thinking it was just a fall and was devastated to learn of John's attack.
