Pirate Predator: 06 - Duplicity

Will Andy Burnham make it in Makerfield?

An election on Thursday in the UK could ultimately determine who leads the country.

Don't Go Far

A multi award winning doc. And still one of our most popular ever docs! It's 1985, and two Dublin children, with a knack for bunking off school and fare dodging, embark on an unbelievable adventure. On a warm summer's day in 1985, they hop on a Dart and skip out to Dun Laoghaire, nothing much to be doing there, so they sneak on the ferry for Holyhead and make it all the way to London Heathrow where they board a plane to NYC. (First broadcast 2011)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Social media ban for under 16s in the UK and new search for missing women

Children under age 16 will soon be banned from social media in the UK under proposals announced by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer today. It comes as Tánaiste Simon Harris said Ireland should follow suit with the UK – but added that he hopes “this is an issue that Europe can arrive at a consensus on”. Work and Technology Correspondent Brian O'Donovan joins Fran to discuss why there are so many variations of bans around - and how they're not as airtight as some people would like. Brian also talks about Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to Ireland and why he missed his country's World Cup game. Later, Crime Editor with the Irish Sun Stephen Breen discusses the latest search for missing women Deirdre Jacob and Jo Jo Dullard amid hopes for a breakthrough.
