  • RTÉ's funding fight, the hare coursing row and is a border poll in our future?

    RTÉ's funding fight, the hare coursing row and is a border poll in our future?
    Jul 10 2026

    As the Dáil breaks for summer, Kevin Doyle and Maeve McTaggart assess the political winners and losers of the past six months. They examine RTÉ's growing funding gap, the fierce battle over hare coursing, Sinn Féin's push on Irish unity, and ask who's heading into the EU Presidency with momentum.

  • Zelensky hits Dublin as EU Presidency begins

    Zelensky hits Dublin as EU Presidency begins
    Jul 3 2026
    Ireland’s EU presidency officially began this week and welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Dublin. However, things became a little awkward from the outset when President Zelenskyy raised concerns about Ireland’s ties to Russian alumina. Zelenskyy was forced to cut short his visit due to an imminent attack on Kyiv, once again raising questions about European defence and Ireland’s role within it. And with Budget Day fast approaching, will defence spending receive a larger share of the national budget? On the subject of foreign affairs, Independent Ireland TD Ken O’Flynn’s attendance—or lack thereof—at meetings of the Foreign Affairs Committee came under scrutiny this week. And as the Dáil term draws to a close, what legislation is the Government hoping to get finalised before the summer recess?

  • The Triple Lock: Starmer, Burnham and Oireachtas on drugs

    The Triple Lock: Starmer, Burnham and Oireachtas on drugs
    Jun 26 2026

    As the UK's Labour Party reconfigures in the wake of Keir Starmer’s resignation, we hear about potential new leader Andy Burnham's proud Irish roots, what his northern sensibility might mean for UK politics and how he might deal with a push for a United Ireland. We also discuss the growing pressure on Irish neutrality, the recommendations made in a report from the Oireachtas committee on drugs and why the EU presidency hasn't resonated with the public.
