  • Lost it's way

    It might be unfair, but I was expecting a much more progressive show from Ciara and that hasn't happened, for whatever reasons. It's just not for me.

  • So So

    Ciara is often wonderful in highlighting certain issues, particularly around health related issues and housing. But the recent slide to the economic right and punch down rhetoric is not great. I don't think that's representative of Ciara's beliefs, more Newstalks editorial leanings.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Those dealing with the aftermath of Storm Chandra

Ciaran Daly advised to remove damaged items, retain photographs for insurance, and consider appointing a loss assessor.
How to find a therapist suited to you.
Q: How do you find the right therapist?
Look for one that is associated with an accredited professional body and feel comfortable to interview them, asking questions to ensure a good therapeutic relationship.
How to find a therapist suited to you.
Q: How accessible is therapy for the average person?
It's still quite expensive, ranging from 70 to 120 euro for a session, which can be a lot for individuals dealing with budgets. Health insurance may cover some costs, but there are lengthy waiting lists for public services.
Ask the Expert Mortgages
Q: Is it worthwhile overpaying my mortgage?
Yes, it can significantly reduce the interest you pay and shorten your mortgage term, though individual financial situations must be considered.
Ask the Expert Mortgages
Q: Should I switch and lock in at a 3% rate?
It depends on individual circumstances, but it's generally advisable to investigate cheaper options.
