Housing, hate and the pursuit of happiness! Are dual mortgages needed to buy a home? What will happen with the latest UK-Ireland immigration spat over Rwanda? Is the rise of hate in the country about to boil over?
Do you need to have a partner or significant other to buy a home? We examine the rise of dual income mortgages and has there been correlation or causation to higher house prices in Ireland and across the world. With asylum seekers reportedly heading to Ireland en masse because of the UK’s ‘Rwanda Bill’, which has earmarked the country as safe for deportation, we look at where does the spat go from here – is it a bun right or something much bigger? And finally with the abuse of politicians ever increasing (including the former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar this week), we examine where our political system goes from here and will anyone young want to get involved in politics anymore.

Referendum Rewind - From Family definitions to asylum trends. Is corporate welfare here to stay? Can our politicians wake up to our generation's needs? And the Gen Zs are richer (but are having a lot less fun).
What did the government know before proposing to widen the definition of the family at the March referendums? We look ahead to what asylum applications might do in the coming quarters, and how it feeds into politics. As Paschal Donohoe takes to Instagram to share the latest business grant, we discuss if corporate welfare is the new norm in the Irish economy. We respond to a listener who asks if politicians have woken up yet to Ireland’s rising population and the need for the infrastructure to match it. Finally, we discuss an Economist article on Gen-Z and their economic and social prospects.
