    Analogue Bertie Hobbled by a Digital World

    Matt is joined by Lise Hand and Shane Coleman to discuss the controversy involving former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and his views on immigration, as expressed to a voter who recorded and disclosed them. They offer a detailed assessment of the way in which Bertie Ahern operates and why he is an analogue 20th century politician in a digital world. Discussions on; the appropriate use of our national flag - the tricolour, how immigration will be a factor in next week's by-elections and whether constituency polls are accurate predictors of what will happen. They also discuss Jack Chambers attempts to impose fiscal discipline on his ministerial colleagues, Simon Harris’ obsession with savings plans for the well-off and Revenue’s approach to taxing sheds for beds.

    Crossing the Not So Great Divide

    Matt has two guests on this edition, starting with Larissa Nolan, former journalist but now in charge of communications at Aontú with whom he discusses her reasons for the move and the trend of journalists jumping into political jobs. They also discuss the decline of the print media and the appropriateness of state funding for an independent and commercial media. Stephen Walker, former BBC correspondent at Westminster, joins Matt to discuss why British prime ministers over the last decade have such short tenures. What is it that makes people in British political parties believe that changing the leader will change the party and the country’s fortunes? Does Labour really think that a change of leader from Keir Starmer will lead to a change of fortunes? And given Starmer’s keen interest in Ireland, what would we lose from his departure? They discuss the possibility of Nigel Farage in Number 10 and what it would mean for Northern Ireland. Even if he is an avowed unionist, would he be persuaded to run a border bill leading to a united Ireland? And given the incredible disclosures of how much money he has taken from donors, why have sections of the British media been so slow in covering the scandal surrounding this pound shop Donald Trump?

    Are You Paying Too Much Income Tax?

    Matt finds that economist Dan O’Brien remains relatively unconcerned about rising inflation; however, Dan remains very worried about Russian aggression in Eastern Europe and how it might impact us. He’s also concerned about the prospects for an EU-US trade war caused by Trump’s latest volatility. They engage in a major discussion about the equity of our personal income tax system, the thresholds at which people enter the higher tax rate, and debate the fairness of the USC. They talk about social partnership as a way of dealing with taxation and pay increases, and they also discuss the politics of taxation and populism, and when it comes to infrastructure, the rate of implementation deficit disorder.

    Nigel Farage and His Sugar Daddy

He joins Matt to discuss next week’s elections across Britain and why they might be very relevant to Ireland. They talk about the Peter Mandelson affair and the involvement of Cork’s Morgan McSweeney, and debate whether ‘real life’ issues are more important to British voters.

    Why Not a Mini Budget?

    Matt is joined by Danny McConnell and John Lee to discuss the changing government generosity towards Ukrainians and how this may have been influenced by the by-election in Galway West and Dublin Central. On the latter, they explore why a Sinn Féin win in Mary Lou's home constituency is not the slam dunk it should be, due to the presence of Gerry Hutch and possible voter confusion about what Sinn Féin stands for. They discuss the potential for Dara Calleary to become the leader of Fianna Fáil. Matt condemns the failure to get electric buses on the road and expresses bafflement at dust in the ducts at the National Children's Hospital, and they finish with praise for the financial generosity of former President Michael D. Higgins.
