Hi, I’m Dee and this is Politea with Dee, the show where I try to make sense of Irish politics so you don’t have to. Think of it as the gossip column for the Dáil: who’s arguing with who, what the government’s actually up to, and why it all matters (kind of). I’ll break down the big issues like housing, climate, referendums, scandals and put it in plain English, with a few jokes along the way. If politics usually feels like watching paint dry, this is the fresh coat you’ll actually want to listen to.

    Happy Valentines day! This week I interviewed Oisín O'Connor the green party councillor from the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Council. We speak all things green party, how local politics work, and the problem with public transport.

    Lobbyists and TD's caught, Bord Bia Conflict of Interest, and What's in the Epstein Files?

    This is a tea heavy episode so strap in! This week, I discuss People Before Profit calling out TD's for bowing down to lobbyists. The chair of Bord Bia is in some hot water with farmer for alleged conflicts of interests. Catherine Connolly stands her ground during an intense encounter with DUP MP Gregory Campbell. There's finally some information on the by-elections this year. I outline how we're mentioned in the Epstein files, and Micheal Martin confirms he will be going to the White House this year.

    Storm Chandra, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil TD's beefing, and Scramblers

    This week on Politea with Dee, I get into the political football that is Storm Chandra. I also give you guys the tea I got from a conversation with my local councillor. Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael TD's are getting messy in the media over potential favouritism of certain constituencies. In the wake of the tragic death of Grace Lynch, I discuss the laws surrounding scrambler bikes. There are also quick updates on the Social Democrats disabilities emergency winter payment motion, the triple lock, and new rent laws.

    Counselling notes, Housing, and International Politics

    This week I give updates on the Grok AI controversy and the Mercosur deal. I also delve into a new crime bill being protested by therapists and victims due to updates that retraumatises sexual violence victims by using counselling notes. Lastly, I get into some international politics as the World Economic Forum comes to an end and countries receive invitations to join the 'Board of Peace'.

    Grok AI, 3 Bill Proposals, And Ministers Being Messy with Money

    Welcome back to Politea with Dee! The government took no time getting right back into the swing of things after the holiday break. This week I explain the whole Grok AI controversy, and upcoming bills. Also ministers have been messy with money! From Paschal Donohoe giving the world bank an unwarranted extra 10 million euro to government ministers not paying back money they owe the state.

    Jim Gavin's Failed Campaign, Fox Hunting, and Christmas is Here

    In the last episode of the year, recorded as the Dáil heads into its Christmas recess, I reflect on a week of weighty debates and decisions. From the review into Jim Gavin’s election campaign to Jim O’Callaghan’s remarks on social cohesion. The rejection of the abortion order paper and the shutting down of the fox hunting bill led to some heated interaction in the Dáil . Meanwhile, Rory Hearne raised urgent concerns about the rising number of homeless children in Ireland.

    Secret Bills, Puppies, and a Super Flu

    Welcome back to The Politea with Dee! This week I give an update on the government considering a social media ban for Under 16's. I also have a little chuckle (rant) over the department of housings' social media video blunder. This week a new grassroots organisation launched. Lastly, I discuss what went on in Leinster house from a secret passing of a bill at 1am to a TD being called a muppet by another TD!

    This week on The Politea with Dee I discuss Zelensky’s historic visit to Ireland which sparked a debate on neutrality, senators clashing over defamation laws, energy credits vanish despite advice, and the government unveils yet another “big plan” for housing and transport. Plus, talk of banning kids from social media and Labour pushing for better trans healthcare.
