    #217 The Rwanda Bill What Effect Will It Have On Ireland?

    In this episode, Niall looks into the potential impact of the Rwanda bill on Ireland. The controversial UK legislation aims to deter asylum seekers by sending them to Rwanda. Tánaiste Micheál Martin suggests that the policy is already driving asylum seekers across the Border from Northern Ireland to the Republic.
    Some callers think Ireland has become a dumping ground for immigrants, and the Rwanda bill will only exacerbate the problem. We've already taken in too many immigrants, and our country is struggling to cope. There's a real risk that crime rates will increase and tensions will rise if we continue to accept more immigrants. We need to put the needs of our own citizens first and focus on addressing the issues we're facing at home before we consider taking in more immigrants. Ireland is already struggling to accommodate the immigrants we have, and we simply don't have the resources or infrastructure to take in more. Our social services are overstretched, and there's a risk that our communities will suffer as a result. We need to prioritize the needs of our own citizens before considering taking in more immigrants.
    Others believe that the Rwanda bill is a necessary step to address illegal immigration. They argue that Ireland cannot continue to absorb large numbers of asylum seekers without facing serious social and economic consequences. The government needs to take action to protect our borders and ensure the safety and security of our citizens. While it's important to show compassion for those in need, we cannot ignore the impact that uncontrolled immigration is having on our country. The Rwanda bill may be controversial, but it's necessary to protect Ireland's interests and ensure that our immigration system is fair and effective.
    Niall wraps up the discussion, urging listeners to consider the implications of the Rwanda bill and the impact it may have on Ireland.

    #216 Has The Government Lost Control Of Immigration?

    #216 Has The Government Lost Control Of Immigration?

    In this episode, Niall looks into Helen McEntee's proposed immigration legislation and discusses the alarming 50% drop in Irish staycations. The burning question of the day: Has the government lost control?
    Some callers are not convinced that Helen McEntee's proposed immigration legislation is the right approach. Instead of focusing on stricter enforcement, we should be looking for ways to improve our immigration system and make it more efficient and effective. This means investing in resources and infrastructure to process applications more quickly and fairly. We should also be exploring ways to integrate immigrants into our society and economy, rather than just keeping them out.
    Callers also believe the 50% drop in Irish staycations is a clear sign that the government needs to take action. People are clearly choosing to holiday abroad instead of staying in Ireland, and that's a problem. We need to make sure that our tourism industry is competitive and attractive to both domestic and international visitors. This means investing in infrastructure, promoting local attractions, and ensuring that prices are reasonable. The government needs to step up and support the tourism sector before it's too late.
    Niall wraps up the discussion, urging the government to address these pressing issues and regain control.

    #214 Does voting for change really make a difference to the outcome?

    As you all know Niall Boylan is running for the EU lections in Dublin and today hes asking does voting for a change really work.
    In democracies globally, a growing number of voters are losing faith in electoral processes. Numerous individuals express frustration, feeling their voices go unheard. Some are gravitating towards political factions with radical populist agendas. This discontent among voters could stem from worsening living standards in Western nations, particularly the steady decline of manufacturing jobs and escalating inequality.
    These trends contribute to a diminishing trust in democratic institutions. Additionally, the proliferation of mobile internet has played a role, enabling the dissemination of misinformation and bolstering populist movements. Furthermore, it's plausible that elections fall short in delivering the economic improvements voters seek, leading many to question the true impact of electoral participation on their well-being.
