Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

Buses being “bricked out of it” in places like Killinarden has people raging — and today Adrian and Jeremy ask what can actually be done to stop it before someone is seriously injured.

Is the only solution to permanently pull Dublin Bus services from areas where the Number 27 keeps getting attacked… even if that means punishing the whole community, including elderly passengers and kids? One Father had the next to defend their behaviour of teenage vandals/

It’s the weekend edition of Opinions Matter… and there’s no “main topic” at all — just Adrian and Jeremy letting rip with the most random studio chat you’ll hear all week.

Are slices of bread getting smaller? Have Cadbury’s Fingers secretly turned into “pinkies”? And why is Jeremy convinced companies shave a millimetre off everything every year to “fuck us over” without us noticing?

Then it gets even more unhinged: Jeremy reckons he wants another baby (after the snip), admits he’s lying to his kids about an island holiday having “no beaches”… and somehow the conversation ends up in prison cells, Liverpool supporters, and “I couldn’t whack one out with you in the same cell as me.”

A viral video sparks today’s debate: should someone on the social housing list be allowed to demand a house in the exact estate they grew up in — near their mam for babysitting — or is it pure entitlement and “beggars can’t be choosers”?..... Expect a lot of angry exchanges in this episode!

Omar, an Irish-born Muslim with Iraqi parents, got onto Adrian and Jeremy after seeing a headline warning that “Islamist terrorism” is a significant concern for Ireland — and he says it’s pure scaremongering that only fuels Islamophobia.

Should reports like this name a religion at all… or should it simply be called “terrorism” without tarring ordinary Muslims with the same brush?

From callers quoting crime and terror “stats”, to others admitting they profile people on planes and at gigs, the debate turns fierce fast — with rows about immigration, radicalisation, “thought police”, and how quickly we forget Ireland’s own history of being labelled terrorists abroad.

Gardai have set up “incident rooms” around the country to hunt down anyone who broke the law during the recent fuel blockades — and it has people raging.

Adrian and Jeremy go head-to-head on the big question: should the Gardaí be tracking down truckers, farmers and protesters after the fact… or is it a massive waste of resources that’ll only rile people up again?

Callers are split. Some say “the law is the law” and want prosecutions to set a precedent. Others argue the protests helped bring fuel prices down and that going after people now is political policing.

And as always… it gets heated.
