    What I don’t understand is why when it was happening in Calais you were all fundraising and donating to help for Calais, now it’s sorted by closing the camps a d letting them go wandering and Ireland has the problem you’re aghast. Total NIMBY. Cannot send them back to UK as UK send them to France-Germany-Italy etc. it’s not a problem that can be sorted. Get on with it. Maybe it’s the cost Ireland have to pay for the EU backing u up re Brexit

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#872 Does the Leaving Cert Reward Memory Rather Than Intelligence?
Q: Do exam results truly measure intelligence and potential?
The host and Cleo explore how exams assess a narrow set of skills, not overall intelligence or future success, sharing experiences that many high-performing students still struggle to find their path.
#854 Is Being A Traditional Wife Now Politically Incorrect?
Q: Brenda Power, what is your take on why this strategy is being perceived as anti-family or anti-women's traditional roles?
Brenda Power contends that the strategy overemphasizes career paths and downplays family and motherhood, suggesting the policy could alienate women who value homemaking and parental roles.
#854 Is Being A Traditional Wife Now Politically Incorrect?
Q: What is the essence of the anti-tradwife criticism in the strategy, and why is that seen as a problem by your side?
David Quinn argues that the plan leans toward pushing women into full-time work and away from traditional homemaking, which critics see as a misalignment with diverse personal choices and potential long-term demographic impacts.
#854 Is Being A Traditional Wife Now Politically Incorrect?
Q: David, okay, maybe you could explain this report to our listeners just in simple terms and what it actually means.
David Quinn explains that the plan is a five-year action framework following a national strategy for women and girls, including education campaigns to tackle harmful gender stereotypes and gender budgeting requirements for government departments.
#859 Hate Speech Laws: Brussels Wants to Police What You Say (With Tomas O Reilly)
Q: What is the role of the European Commission and the Digital Services Act in shaping national policy on hate speech?
