The Steen Across the Water

The President who never was? With two days to go until polling, Gript's LAURA PERRINS is joined on the podcast by Maria Steen, to discuss her career, family, activism, beliefs, and the Presidential Campaign that very nearly was.

As Fine Gael targets Catherine Connolly's work as a barrister, Jason and Ben breathe a sigh of relief that the presidential race is nearing its end. That's followed by a sigh of despair as they examine 'Official Ireland's' commitment to gender ideology and France's inability to stop thieves breaking into its national museums.

John and Sarah ask: Is Judge Martin Nolan unfairly maligned or justly criticised? Also, Independent Ireland backs Simon Harris; The Deposit Return Scheme humiliates voters; and Fine Gael flounders towards humiliation.

Gript's Laura Perrins sits down for a riveting hour with ex-Presidential candidate Nick Delehanty. On the agenda: Running for President; Exposing the IPAS racket; Running the numbers on the deposit return scheme; and reacting to international developments.

This week John & Sarah turn their attention to the most popular topic with Irish pols and media and ask: What's with the Gaza obsession? Also, reflections on Barbie Kardashian and ten years of Gender Recognition. And the latest from the boring boring election:
