Newstalk Breakfast Highlights Newstalk

This week, Newstalk is partnering with Make-A-Wish Ireland to celebrate Wish Week. Join us all week as we talk to some incredible children and their courageous families, and hear how Make-A-Wish Ireland have been beacons of light for children facing the toughest battles of their lives. 
One of those children is 16 year old Adam Nagajek  and this morning we were joined by Adam and his mother Aleksandra.

The first criminal trial of US ex-president is underway as former President Donald Trump faces charges related to a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016. 
To discuss the significance of this trial with Shane was Matt Mayer, President of Provisum Strategies and Former Senior Official in the US Department of Homeland Security. 

The Emergency Department at University Hospital Limerick was “akin to a war zone” on the weekend that 16-year-old sepsis patient Aoife Johnston died there. That’s what Clinical Nurse Manager Katherine Skelly told the inquest into Aoife’s death yesterday. 
But more than a year after her passing, has anything been done to address the overcrowding crisis?  We heard from Professor Conor Deasy, President of the Irish Association of Emergency Medicine.

Clare Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe is calling for stricter regulation to be introduced around anonymised online bullying and abuse via the website Tattle. He joined Ciara this morning on the show.

Advanced works have begun on Dublin’s historic Iveagh Markets. But what should a future role for the old trading ground be?  We asked Máire Devine, local Sinn Féin Councillor.

Taoiseach Simon Harris will today make an official state apology to the families of the victims of the Stardust nightclub fire. The government has also indicated its support for a redress scheme to be introduced.  
But what would such a scheme look like in real terms? Speaking to Newstalk Breakfast Stuart Gilhooley, Solicitor and Senior Counsel.
