In this gripping episode, Niall reads out a real email from a listener caught between loyalty and legality. The listener's brother—already sitting on 9 penalty points—was caught speeding again and is now begging him to take the fall by accepting the penalty points on his own licence.

“He says he was only doing 135 km/h on the M1 and can’t afford to lose his licence with work being so far away,” the listener writes. “My wife says I’d be mad to take the points—he’s always speeding and has no respect for the limits.”

Niall opens the lines to callers, and the country weighs in.

Some say family comes first:

“It’s only three points, and he said he’d cover the insurance cost—of course I’d help my brother,” says Kevin from Louth.

Others warn against crossing the line:

“It’s illegal, plain and simple,” argues Lisa in Cork. “You could both get into serious trouble, and for what? So he can keep speeding?”

Callers debate the pros and cons:

✅ Pros:

Helping a loved one avoid losing their job

Maintaining family harmony

Brother promises to cover financial impact

❌ Cons:

It’s illegal and could result in criminal charges

Higher insurance premiums and personal risk

Enabling reckless behaviour

Niall guides the conversation with humour, insight, and fairness as the nation reflects on just how far they’d go for family—and where the line should be drawn.

In this episode, Niall dives into one of the most heated discussions in Ireland today: Should the Constitution be changed to guarantee every citizen the right to housing?

Broadcasting live, Niall opens the lines to callers from across the country—and the opinions couldn't be more divided.

Some callers strongly support the idea:

“Housing should be a basic right, not a privilege,” says Mary from Galway. “People are living in tents while buildings lie empty. It’s time the government was held accountable.”

Others warn of unintended consequences:

“If you write this into the Constitution, you’re opening the floodgates,” argues Declan in Dublin. “It’ll lead to endless legal battles and strain public finances even more.”

And some are torn:

“I believe everyone deserves a home, but I’m not sure a constitutional change is the best way to fix a broken system,” admits Aoife from Cork.

Through respectful debate, passionate views, and tough questions, Niall guides listeners through the legal, moral, and practical sides of a constitutional right to housing.

Whether you’re firmly for it, completely against it, or just trying to make sense of it all—this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, Niall dives into the heated debate over children's access to social media following the rollout of a new age verification system under Ireland’s Online Safety Code.

He’s joined by Eric Nelligan, school teacher and spokesperson for the political party Aontú, to explore what this new code means in practice, how effective age checks might really be, and whether social media platforms can ever truly be safe for children.

Later, Niall opens the phone lines and hears from the public, sparking a lively and divided conversation.

Some callers argue that social media is toxic for kids, exposing them to harmful content like cyberbullying, eating disorders, and dangerous challenges. One caller says, “There’s no real benefit for kids being on these apps — it’s just a breeding ground for anxiety and peer pressure.”

Others see it differently, highlighting that social media can help teens stay connected, learn new skills, and express themselves creatively. As one parent puts it, “My daughter learned photography and video editing through TikTok — she’s more confident because of it.”

Tune in as Niall unpacks both sides of this complex issue — and asks: Do the risks outweigh the rewards when it comes to kids and social media?
