Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

Ireland hands out €2.35 BILLION a year in foreign aid — and in the studio, Adrian is buzzing with pride that we’ve gone from “beg, borrow and steal” to helping poorer countries.

Katie isn’t having and of it. With homelessness, hospital trolleys, families stuck in hotel rooms and kids growing up with no stability, she says charity begins at home and that money should be spent here first.

Callers pile in on both sides: is cutting aid “heartless”, or is it common sense when Ireland has it's own problems? And how much of that aid actually reaches the people who need it most?

It’s the special weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” episode — where Adrian, Katie and Jeremy are just talking shite and letting the listeners in on the madness from the week.

Could you do a full digital detox holiday… phone in the safe for the whole trip, no pics, no posting, no nothing? And then there’s the Tooth Fairy debate: is €20 for a first tooth completely mental… or just the going rate when you’ve no cash in the house?

Plus, we ask you to finish the sentence “I hate people who…” and the answers are brutal. And yes, Jeremy’s “crush” gets a mention too!!

A shocking scene in Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta sparks a massive row on Opinions Matter. Reports of 60,000+ migrants crossing the border in hours lead one listener, Keith, to send a furious voice note warning Ireland to “rise up” — but is it real concern or pure scaremongering?

Things got really intense when we heard from one caller who said: "we need show more compassion and less hate to people who are just seeking a better life"

Aoife got in touch after a conversation with her boyfriend of almost two years left her completely speechless. He told her he wants to “spice things up” by trying bondage — tying each other up and dominating each other — and she says it’s made her feel really uncomfortable.

Her friends called it a “huge red flag” and warned that any man into that could be dangerous… even though he hasn’t pressured her at all.

So is she overthinking it, or should she run a mile? Adrian and Katie clash big time, and callers are sharply divided on kink, consent, boundaries, and whether this relationship is simply sexually incompatible.

Today on Opinions Matter, we asked a question that always divides opinion... Are psychics genuinely gifted, or are they simply preying on vulnerable people?
We heard from a woman who says she's a spiritual healer with a genuine gift, but many listeners were quick to say they didn't believe a word of it.
The debate became even more interesting when Katie shared her own recent experience of seeing a psychic. She admits she went in as a skeptic, but says some of what she was told was difficult to explain.
So, are psychics the real deal, or is it all just clever guesswork? Listen back now and decide for yourself.
