Carbon, Commuting, and Corruption
Show notes
Matt is joined by former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Áine Kerr to discuss carbon taxes, whether they should go up in the budget and whether they should be there at all. They assess the public transport fare hikes and ask will the new buses ever leave the garage? They turn to pay for public-sector workers and wonder how we have reached a situation where there might be strikes. They examine the bad blood between Jennifer Carroll MacNeill and hospital consultants over weekend working. They debate the merits of the Simon Harris Savings and Investment Accounts. They assess President Catherine Connolly’s dilemma when her American counterpart, Donald Trump, comes to visit next weekend. And they ask if the latest grift scandal involving Nigel Farage will really have any impact at all.
