    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.

#631 Loan Shark Loans — Help or Horror?
Q: Do you think they provide a service or are they preying on vulnerable people?
People consider their options limited and often decide to go for these high-interest loans out of desperation, which raises ethical concerns about whether these lenders are truly providing a service or taking advantage of those in need.
#628 Social Media Bans: Are Parents Failing?
Q: Are the generation of parents failing in properly managing their children's exposure to technology?
Some callers agree, highlighting that parents need to lead by example and restrict children's access to inappropriate content, while others argue that parents face challenges due to the fast-paced evolution of technology.
#623 Seven Years On: Was Ireland Ready for Abortion?
Q: If the referendum on the Eighth Amendment were held again tomorrow, how would you vote?
Many individuals might reconsider their vote due to the significant increase in abortion rates since legalization and possibly the belief that they were misled about the implications of their vote.
#626 No Time Bar on Crime: Is Ireland Out of Step?
Q: Should we have a statute of limitations on criminal cases?
Yes, especially for minor crimes, but not for serious offences like murder and rape.
#629 Daughter Pregnant at 15. What Would You Do?
Q: Is the father right to want to report the 17 year old boyfriend to the police?
