Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

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.

On today's episode of Opinions Matter, we heard from a woman originally from Africa who is living in Balbriggan and says her family has been subjected to persistent racist abuse in their neighbourhood. She told us her children have been repeatedly targeted and that she no longer feels safe in her own home.
Believing the situation has become unbearable, she's calling on the council to urgently transfer her family to another house.
Should families facing serious racist abuse be prioritised for a council house transfer? Or are there other solutions that should be explored first?
Listen now and let us know where you stand.

Today on Opinions Matter, we spoke to a woman who was left questioning her relationship after her boyfriend made a shocking confession.
The couple had been together for five months and were talking about moving in together when he told her there was something she needed to know.
He admitted that, on a stag weekend a few years ago, he had a drunken sexual encounter with one of his male friends. He insists it was a one-off, says he's not gay, and has never been with a man since.
The confession has left her wondering if she can continue the relationship.
Was she making too much of something that happened years ago, or can you understand why she was so upset?
The debate had our listeners completely divided.
