Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Relatives of people who died in nursing homes during pandemic say covid inquiry ignoring bereaved families
Q: Majella, can I begin by asking you why you've been so critical of this inquiry?
She explains they have advocated for a full statutory inquiry from the outset and criticizes the current evaluation for lacking powers to compel records or testimony, arguing it prioritizes listening sessions over real accountability.
Meath Senator Bravely Opens Up About Suffering Miscarriage as 'Certificate of Loss' Set to be Introduced -
Q: Okay, so who would issue this certificate of loss? Where would it come from?
The proposal involves cross-party collaboration with the Department of Social Protection, drawing on examples from Northern Ireland and Scotland where similar certificates exist, and contrasting the Irish policy with stillbirth certifications after later gestational ages.
Meath Senator Bravely Opens Up About Suffering Miscarriage as 'Certificate of Loss' Set to be Introduced -
Q: So tell me then, Linda, about this certificate of loss. It wouldn't be a birth cert per se. What exactly would it be? And how would this operate?
Senator Murray explains it would be a voluntary, commemorative certificate issued in collaboration with the Department of Social Protection, allowing parents to record a pregnancy loss for personal remembrance, with the option to retroactively apply it to past losses. It is intended to acknowledge a baby grew inside but did not come to term, helping with grief and memory.
"Fox Hunting Makes People in Rural Ireland Look Like Savages”, Says Meath Farmer - 30/03/2026
Q: Why do you think the public opinion doesn't translate into political change?
Despite broad public support, party discipline and the whip in the Dáil constrain MPs from voting freely, preventing the passage of the bill.
"Fox Hunting Makes People in Rural Ireland Look Like Savages”, Says Meath Farmer - 30/03/2026
Q: What can be done on the ground to influence the outcome?
Farmers should act by denying access to their land for hunts and by placing signs to make it clear fox hunting is not welcome, creating a groundswell of local resistance.
