El Niño’s ‘Doomsday’ warning: What’s coming?

This week, the World Meteorological Organisation has warned that a potentially exceptional El Niño is firmly established in the Pacific and is expected to strengthen significantly, increasing the risks of extreme heat, flooding, and drought around the world. While El Niño is a natural phenomenon, it is arriving on a much warmer planet, so, what should we expect and does a warming climate mean that naturally occurring weather events like this are becoming increasingly dangerous? Joining Pat to discuss is Peter Thorne, Director of the ICARUS Climate Research Centre at Maynooth University.

Same Irish butter, two prices: What’s going on?

Two Irish butters are battling it out on US shelves and it’s more complicated than it looks. Kerrygold is the premium brand at a premium price, while a cheaper grass‑fed butter has landed in Costco under the Kirkland label. Pat Kenny is joined by Pat O’Toole of the Irish Farmers Journal to unpack how both products trace back to the same co‑op family, and why Irish dairy is now under pressure to sell bigger volumes at different price points.

Postpartum mental health: Where are we failing mothers?

The Lindsay Clancy case has raised very difficult questions about the intersection of motherhood, postpartum mental health, and the criminal justice system. It also raises a question closer to home: how well do we actually recognise and respond to serious mental health problems after women give birth here in Ireland? Because for all the focus on the baby and the birth itself, the postpartum period can present a range of physical and psychological challenges, some of which can be very difficult to see, and even harder to talk about. Joining Pat to do just that is Aolish Gormley, Founder of Árdu, a maternal mental health initiative based in Sligo and leading the Year of Care campaign
