Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Families Demand Answers Over "Despicable" Treatment of Older People During Covid Pandemic - 08/07/2026
Q: What would you hope would come out of a full public inquiry?
The guest explains that relatives want the right to speak about their loved ones, have their stories recognised, and see accountability pursued through cross-examination and a thorough examination of policies that affected families.
Shocking Investigation Launched As Remains of Burned Dog Discovered in Ballymun - 07/07/2026
Q: Can you explain to listeners how you know for certain that migrants didn't burn the dog for a barbecue?
The host clarifies that there is no video or photographic evidence supporting the claim, and the authorities have not confirmed any involvement by migrants; they stress the need for evidence before drawing conclusions.
Heated Debate On Air as Local TDs Disagree on Abortion Waiting Period - 18/09/2026
Q: What concerns do opponents raise about removing the waiting period?
Opponents contend that the waiting period serves as a necessary reflection time, protecting vulnerable women and ensuring informed decisions, and they question the evidence base of any benefits claimed by removing the delay.
Heated Debate On Air as Local TDs Disagree on Abortion Waiting Period - 18/09/2026
Q: What is the core reason behind supporting the removal of the three-day waiting period?
Supporters argue that removing the waiting period reduces barriers for women, allows more time for careful consideration, and aligns with the findings that the three-day delay can be unnecessary for many, especially given barriers in accessing timely GP services.
Louth TD Calls for Tougher Penalties Following River Glyde Fish Kill - 16/06/2026
Q: What is the maximum penalty that somebody could face for this kind of pollution?
The guest explains that penalties at present are insufficiently deterrent, with district court fines typically ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand euros, and there is a strong push to raise sanctions and modernize legislation to match the ecological harm caused by fish kills.
