  • Tuesday 16th December - RELEASED: The Long-Awaited Fianna Fáil Presidential Campaign Report
    Dec 16 2025

    The long-awaited report into Fianna Fáil’s presidential campaign has finally been published. It confirms that senior party figures were warned on two occasions — just days before the selection vote — about concerns involving Jim Gavin and a tenant issue. He was asked about it and professed no recollection. The report states: “Nothing further was done.”


    Joining the discussion are Fianna Fáil Minister of State Niall Collins, Sunday Times columnist Alison O’Connor, and public affairs consultant and former Fianna Fáil adviser Derek Mooney. Gavan Reilly, Virgin Media News Political Correspondent, reports from Leinster House where a special party meeting is underway.


    Also covered: the Government has approved plans for a new hospital with its own emergency department for the Midwest, following serious concerns about patient safety at University Hospital Limerick highlighted in a HIQA report.

  • Tuesday 9th December - Russian Drones, Rural Drug Gangs & Storm Bram
    Dec 10 2025

    A senior EU official has linked last week’s drones over Dublin Bay to “hybrid attacks from Russia”, marking the first public accusation of its kind. With Ireland set to host the EU presidency next year, how secure are we? John Mooney, Investigations Editor with The Sunday Times, former TD and retired Army Officer Cathal Berry, and Euronews Europe Correspondent Shauna Murray join the debate.

    Later, the panel examines the rise of violent drug gangs in rural Ireland, following the tragic deaths of four-year-old Tadhg Farrell and his grand-aunt Mary Holt in an arson attack linked to Midlands drug intimidation.

    Plus: Storm Bram batters the country, leaving thousands without power. We get the latest from Alan O’Reilly of Carlow Weather.
