About this episode
The episode features a discussion on Ireland's antisemitism debate sparked by comments from Patrick Kielty, alongside various political topics including nuclear policy and abortion laws.
John Deasy and Brenda Power join Matt for a spirited exchange about Patrick Kielty’s Late Late Show comments and how they have sparked wider allegations that Ireland is antisemitic. Before that, they discuss why Ireland won’t ever go nuclear and why the country’s abortion laws are likely to remain unchanged. The impact of Gerry Hutch in the Dublin Central by-election and how Sinn Féin addresses his immigrant and race-baiting. How is the unity of the Left in the by-elections? Our pullback on Ukrainian support, character references from TDs for the convicted, and are student fee reductions the next Fianna Fáil/ Fine Gael split?
