  Outrage When Caller Suggests Immigrants Shouldn't Have To Pay For Irish Citizenship 10.09.2026 54min

  The government is planning a major shake-up of Irish citizenship rules — including stretching the residency requirement from 5 years to 8, bringing in an English (or Irish) language test, and tougher checks around “self-sufficiency”. So is it fair… or just political optics? We hear from a New Zealander married to an Irishman, six months pregnant, working full-time as a solicitor — worried maternity and child benefit could count against her application. Callers clash over “welfare holidays”, deportations, and whether the €1,200 citizenship fee is a disgrace or just the price of a privilege.

  Caller Digustingly Blames Victims of Bullying "You Only Have Yourself to Blame" 08.09.2026 59min

  Should you be able to sue a school for bullying — even years later? Adrian and Jeremy dive into the idea of “historic bullying” cases, after hearing that some US states are moving towards laws that would let victims take action if the school knew and did nothing.Callers share emotional stories: being physically assaulted on school grounds, kids left suicidal, and parents being fobbed off with “we’ll look into it” while the bully is protected. Others argue suing would only punish today’s pupils and that you should “stand up for yourself” — sparking a furious on-air clash.

  Anti-Vax Mum Goes Into Meltdown With "Wild Conspiracies" 07.09.2026 57min

  Measles cases are soaring across Europe and the US — and Adrian and Jeremy are blaming one thing: falling MMR uptake fuelled by anti-vax “research” on Facebook, TikTok and YouTube. So should Ireland follow Italy and bring in consequences for parents who refuse routine childhood vaccines? No MMR, no creche… fines… even bans from school? Callers don’t hold back. One says it’s child neglect. Another says it’s personal freedom and nobody’s business. We hear from parents who refused every vaccine, others who are pro-vax but against “blackmail”, and a full-on shouting match about autism, trust, and conspiracy rabbit holes.

  "Foreign Born People Deserve Social Housing As Much As Those Born Here" 04.09.2026 53min

  Reform UK say social housing should go to British-born workers first — and foreign nationals should be pushed down the list. So Adrian and Jeremy ask: should Ireland copy it? Should being Irish-born matter more than citizenship, tax paid, or years spent here? The calls are messy, heated and brutally honest. From “House the Irish First” and claims the system is being manipulated… to the Croatian/Polish examples of people who’ve worked here their whole lives and could still be treated as “blow-ins”. Is it common sense prioritising locals… or discrimination dressed up as housing policy?

  "My Two Kids Were Out of Control Teenagers...But There Was Nothing I Could Do" 31.08.2026 55min

  Up to 1,000 children in Ireland have been flagged as “prolific offenders” — so what do we do with the parents? After the M9 tragedy, a Fianna Fáil TD says mums and dads should be fined for their teenagers’ crimes, with money taken straight from wages or the dole. Jeremy says it’s the only way to force responsibility. Adrian says it’s pointless — punish the offenders, not the parents, because some families are already begging Tusla and the system for help. With raw calls from Jackie, Mick, Grace and Joanne, the chat spirals into house arrest, boot camps, and even vigilante “punishment beatings”. Where do you draw the line?

  Caroline (not her real name) says she’s sick of the judgement: four first dates in five months… and she slept with all four lads. She’s single, she likes sex, and she reckons it can build intimacy — so why is everyone calling her “easy” and claiming she’s wrecking her chances of a proper relationship?

With live callers sharing raw, personal stories — parents battling schools, adults diagnosed years ago, and a massive row over medication, “zombie” kids, self-diagnosis, and whether ADHD is actually overdiagnosed.

  Five young men dead after a stolen car crash on the M9… and suddenly everyone’s asking the same question: is TikTok helping fuel “joyriding” for likes, fame and that dopamine rush? Adrian and Jeremy go head-to-head over whether social media platforms are simply hosting content… or are they complicit, enabling dangerous behaviour by letting these videos stay up. With live callers sharing everything from a car being recovered thanks to TikTok and Snapchat, to a former Facebook content moderator lifting the lid on what actually gets taken down. And then a message that stops the show: a mum admits her 18-year-old son is still out in stolen cars… and she blames TikTok.

  War On Air When Dublin Mum Admits How She Disciplines Her Child 24.08.2026 55min
