    Why was stronger action on scrambler bikes not taken sooner?


    Following Colette Fitzpatrick’s Big Interview with Siobhan Lynch, whose daughter Grace died after being struck by a scrambler in Dublin, our panel examines gaps in public safety enforcement and what changes may now follow.


    And as US authorities reject appeals on behalf of Irishman Seamus Culleton, we speak to his attorney about what comes next in his detention case.


    Guest presenter Richard Chambers is joined by:

    • Joe Neville TD, Fine Gael
    • Jennifer Whitmore TD, Social Democrats
    • Harry McGee, Political Correspondent, The Irish Times

  • Tuesday 10 February - The Detention of Seamus Culleton
    2026/02/10

    Guest presenter Richard Chambers begins tonight’s programme with the story of Seamus Culleton — an Irish citizen detained in a Texas ICE facility for five months despite having a valid US work permit and no criminal record.

    Amid growing concern over the conditions he describes as “absolute hell,” there are increasing calls for Taoiseach Micheál Martin to intervene.

    Joining the discussion are Fianna Fáil TD Paul McAuliffe, Labour TD Duncan Smith, journalist Aisling Moloney, and US-based immigration lawyer John Foley.

  • Wednesday 4 February - X A No Show At The Oireachtas as Pressure Grows to Rein In Social Media
    2026/02/04

    X was a notable no-show as executives from major social media platforms faced tough questioning before the Oireachtas Media Committee. The Taoiseach branded X’s decision not to appear as “concerning” and “disrespectful” — but how far is the Government really willing to go in standing up to Big Tech?

    John Lee is joined by Fianna Fáil TD Seán Fleming, Sinn Féin TD Louise O’Reilly, and Elaine Burke, host of the For Tech’s Sake podcast, to debate political accountability, regulation and the power of global platforms.

    The discussion then turns to growing momentum across Europe for an under-16s social media ban, as the European Commission warns Spain that new national rules on digital platforms may breach the EU’s Digital Services Act. Olga Cronin, Senior Policy Officer with the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, joins the panel.

    Finally, the programme looks to the US, where deep cuts at the Jeff Bezos–owned Washington Post are affecting around a third of its workforce, including hundreds of journalists. Former Washington Post fact-checker and author Glenn Kessler reacts to the impact on journalism and media independence.
