    Wednesday, 11th March - Oil Crisis And Oval Office Politics: How Exposed Is Ireland?

    The International Energy Agency has agreed the largest release of oil reserves in history, while the EU is considering measures to subsidise gas prices. Yet oil continues to climb as the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked and Tehran threatens prices of up to $200 a barrel while targeting tankers. So how bad could the economic fallout become - and should the government cut energy taxes and suspend the carbon tax to protect Irish consumers? Plus, as the Taoiseach prepares to travel to Washington, reports suggest he is bringing a promise of $6.1 billion in investment to the Oval Office. But with tensions escalating globally, could Ireland’s foreign direct investment advantage face new risks? Guest presenter Shane Coleman is joined by: Naoise Ó Cearúil TD, Fianna Fail Sorca Clarke TD, Sinn Féin Aidan Regan, Professor of Political Economy, UCD Kevin Doyle, Group Head of News, Irish Independent Sean Bell, Military Analyst Hosted on Acast.

    Wednesday 25 February - Landlord Says Rents Could Rise 25% – What It Means for Tenants

    The country’s biggest landlord has told investors they’ll be able to raise rents by up to 25%, saying the regulatory landscape in Ireland has changed “for the better” ahead of new tenancy rules taking effect this weekend. The Taoiseach has defended the reforms — but what does it mean for renters? The Government unveils its first National Maritime Security Strategy, aimed at tackling hybrid warfare and Russian shadow fleets, with closer cooperation that could see British and French vessels patrolling Irish waters. And despite security concerns and calls for boycott, the FAI says it has “no choice” but to host Israel at the Aviva Stadium this October. Guest presenter Shane Coleman is joined by Seamus McGrath, Patricia Stephenson, Eimer McAuley, Conor Gallagher and Mark Mellett. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Wednesday 18 February - House Prices 20% Above Peak – Is the Affordability Crisis Here to Stay?

    House prices are now more than 20% above the 2007 peak. Demand is high. Supply is short. So where does that leave would-be homeowners? Crowds gather outside The Hoxton Hotel as a legal row over late-night DJs sparks a bigger question – is Dublin becoming a city for tourists first and residents second? And we break down the runners and riders in the Dublin Central by-election. With Mary Fitzpatrick, Rory Hearne and Fionnan Sheahan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Tuesday 17th February - SNA Review Backlash and the Future of Classroom Support

    Guest presenter Shane Coleman leads a lively Tonight Show debate. First, the minister for education pauses a controversial review of Special Needs Assistant allocations after backlash from teachers and parents fearing major cuts to classroom support. Fine Gael MEP Regina Doherty, Sinn Féin MEP Kathleen Funchion, and Irish Examiner Special Correspondent Mick Clifford share their views. Later, Moscow hits back at Irish proposals to board sanctioned Russian vessels, calling the move “piracy,” as tensions rise over maritime security. And we ask — should Ireland’s Nations League fixtures against Israel go ahead as planned, and where should they be played? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
