Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

“Most antisocial behaviour and crime happens in council estates”… and one listener says the solution is simple: stick CCTV on nearly every lamppost in every council estate.

Callers are split down the middle: some say only criminals fear cameras, others say it’s a disgusting invasion of privacy and a lazy substitute for real policing.

A follow-up to yesterday’s Ballymun row — and this time, the “proof” has landed. Adrian and Jeremy confirm they’ve seen the video showing a family (believed to be Roma) being brought to view the boarded-up council house in Shangan Green… and they ask the uncomfortable question: if they move in, will they be safe?

From “house the Irish first” to EU rights and the housing list, callers go at it from every angle — including homelessness, long waiting times, and whether Dublin City Council has a duty of care to rehouse families where they won’t be targeted.

A boarded-up Dublin City Council house in Shangan Green, Ballymun has become the centre of a major row after “Only Irish house our own” was spray-painted across the front — and a protest followed, fuelled by rumours about who might be moved in.

Adrian and Jeremy dig into where the story actually came from, why nobody can produce proof (or a video) of a family being “shown around”, and whether local residents have any right to object to new neighbours.

It’s Opinions Matter Extra (Episode 54) — the weekend episode made up of the random off-air waffle Adrian and Jeremy come out with while the Facebook Live is building.

This time they’re raging about the most insulting thing a listener can say in Spar (“I used to love listening to you”)...Jeremy floats the idea of dyeing his hair… only to get absolutely slated for it.

Then it’s onto religious relatives buying catechisms for “secular” kids, why people post videos back-to-front, and Jeremy’s meltdown when his 11-year-old’s mate shows up with a newer iPhone than he has.

All that, and plenty more nonsense!

Jeremy loses the plot after catching a gang of 11/12-year-olds swinging off (and basically destroying) newly planted trees in his local green… and he lets rip with a few choice words.

But was he right to “verbally reef” kids he doesn’t even know — or was the Dad dead right to tell him to mind his own business?

Adrian says you’ve no right to discipline someone else’s child (and definitely not with bad language). Jeremy says if people don’t call it out, areas get wrecked and kids learn nothing.
