The Irish Question is back.

In our first episode after the summer break, Paul Treyvaud, Elaine Mullally and Nick Delehanty discuss the controversy surrounding Dr Ebun Joseph, critical race theory, migration across Europe, Ireland’s IPAS system and the influence of State-funded NGOs.

The conversation also covers the proposed male-lactation conference, climate policy, flooding and infrastructure, the debate over “tradwives” and the manosphere, tax individualisation, rising energy and fuel costs, and the latest movements in Irish politics.
