A review of how the various parties did, or are doing, in the locals and the European elections.
As voters cast their ballots, John and Sarah review the election campaign, and stick their necks on the line with predictions for each of the Euro constituencies, and the local elections.
John McGuirk rounds up his series of interviews with candidates seeking election to the European Parliament by talking to accountant and businesswoman Michelle Smith, running an energetic but (according the polls) long shot campaign in Midlands North West
Senior Counsel UNA MCGURK talks to John McGuirk about what it was like to be "cancelled" for her views on the Covid 19 pandemic, why she's worried about national sovereignty, and why she's running on a shoestring budget for the EU Parliament.
Donald Trump is a convicted felon, but we'll see how long that lasts; the asylum process; and Gary and Michael give their predictions as to the likely winners of the upcoming European Elections. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/rapists-dodge-deportation-by-applying-for-asylum-in-prison-036jzs8p6
"Covid was a profound political shock for me.. that did change how I view the role of the state and politics" - Michael McNamara discusses his journey from the Labour Party to being one of Ireland's most outspoken Independents, and why he's now running for the European Parliament
John and Sarah discuss the implications of the surrogacy bill; The slow motion car-crash that is the children's hospital; Michael D. Higgins' continued abuse of his office; and the very very bad verdict on Sinn Fein from the doorsteps
In the latest in his interviews of EU candidates, John McGuirk talks to Niall Boylan about whether Independent Ireland is really a political party; Why he'd turn the boats in the Mediterranean around; Why he's for peace in Ukraine; and whether supporting farmers comes at the expense of Dubliners.

An election without an election campaign; polls show SF continuing to drop but FF are languishing; and yet another FOI drop shows the Government being warned about the consequences of their recent referendums passing.
John meets Stephen O'Rourke, an independent candidate seeking an EU parliament seat in Dublin, to talk about immigration, mental health, drug addiction, and what it's like being a small independent candidate trying to get a message out in a crowded field.
With two weeks until polling day, John and Sarah take stock of the state of the EU and local election campaign. Also: Will recognising palestine help the Government? And Sarah argues that young women are in "a crisis".
In the latest in his candidate interview series ahead of the June 7th local and EU elections, John McGuirk chats to Derek Blighe, leader of the new Ireland First party. They discuss what it means to be "far right", what to do about energy, and much more:
Ahead of the June 7th EU elections, John McGuirk talks to long-shot Independent candidate for Ireland South Mary Fitzgibbon about whether she has a real chance to win, why she says we all need to have more children, and why reversing emigration is important to her as a parent.
Ahead of the June 7th EU elections, John McGuirk talks Independent candidate Peter Casey about why Ireland isn't neutral; why he plans to seek the Presidency again if elected; and what he thinks he can achieve as an MEP.
PODCAST: Are Sinn Fein irretrievably done for with working class voters who feel betrayed? Did we over-react to the Dublin Portal hijinks? And Sarah explains why she'd always prefer a man to a bear.
In the second of a series of interviews with candidates ahead of the June 7th EU elections, John McGuirk talks to the Irish Freedom Party's Hermann Kelly about leaving the EU; Why he would let most EU migrants already here remain; and why he's "an ecologist, not a green".
In the first of a series of interviews with candidates ahead of the June 7th EU elections, John McGuirk talks to Aontu leader Peadar Toibin about immigration, candidates, war, peace, farming, Palestine, and why he's going to personally run in two elections less than a year apart.
RTE struggle to understand firearms; a new poll says Independents and Others are more popular than any party, at least in the European elections; and the Garda release new figures on hate crime, but it may shock you to hear that they don't really stand up.
John and Sarah discuss whether there's merit in chemical castration for paedophiles; What to make of Bambie Thug and Eurovision; Javier Millei's astonishing success in Argentina; and general European and Local election chat.

Contrary to what you said. The boats do broadcast to NGO boats and navies to pick them up.

38. Lads they are not gaining power and doing nothing with it. They are radically changing social policy and our demographics along with it.

Astounding podcast 're migration. Ye appear to be adopting the open borders talking points. 20% of the population being non national is more than an abstract talking point.

34 - It's about time you got around to migration. It's the most important issue on the Right and the most significant issue for our country into the future.

24 - Wise words. The open borders fanatics caused, and continue to cause, more deaths than any other policy. Australia shows the way forward 're boat migration. EU gradually coming around to that logical policy.

Interview 3. Twitter should be taken seriously. If journalists/politicians and NGOs do. Conservatives/liberals should too.

10- re direct provision. It is unfortunately necessary. Those in DP for a long time are there because their claims were rejected and they are allowed to submit endless appeals at taxpayer expense. The solution. Deport illegal immigrants sooner.

09 - The fawning over monarchy, in particular the British one, in Irish Conservative circles, is so irritating.

07 - Australia shows the way re boat migrants. Migration to Australia by boat has stopped. Even Labour in Australia now accept the policy and that it works.

I feel I must defend Gaelscoils. In Wexford where I live it's just the same mix of social classes as at all the other schools. Indeed there's a constant refrain from elites now to vilify them. It's probably more "white" but that's hardly surprising given they promote Gaelic culture.

Is "Community Care"/ primary health care centres not just a return to local small hospitals that were all shut down?
