Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

A Dublin mother claimed on this episode that "Foreign Run" shops in Dublin city centre are refusing to hire her son.... Because he's Irish and they only "hire their own"... Her Words.

The government is planning a major shake-up of Irish citizenship rules — including stretching the residency requirement from 5 years to 8, bringing in an English (or Irish) language test, and tougher checks around “self-sufficiency”. So is it fair… or just political optics?

We hear from a New Zealander married to an Irishman, six months pregnant, working full-time as a solicitor — worried maternity and child benefit could count against her application.

Callers clash over “welfare holidays”, deportations, and whether the €1,200 citizenship fee is a disgrace or just the price of a privilege.

A single dad who takes his child EVERY WEEKEND is demanding half the children's allowance that his ex gets. wait until you hear the reason why he thinks he deserves it!

Should you be able to sue a school for bullying — even years later? Adrian and Jeremy dive into the idea of “historic bullying” cases, after hearing that some US states are moving towards laws that would let victims take action if the school knew and did nothing.

Callers share emotional stories: being physically assaulted on school grounds, kids left suicidal, and parents being fobbed off with “we’ll look into it” while the bully is protected. Others argue suing would only punish today’s pupils and that you should “stand up for yourself” — sparking a furious on-air clash.

Measles cases are soaring across Europe and the US — and Adrian and Jeremy are blaming one thing: falling MMR uptake fuelled by anti-vax “research” on Facebook, TikTok and YouTube.

So should Ireland follow Italy and bring in consequences for parents who refuse routine childhood vaccines? No MMR, no creche… fines… even bans from school?

Callers don’t hold back. One says it’s child neglect. Another says it’s personal freedom and nobody’s business. We hear from parents who refused every vaccine, others who are pro-vax but against “blackmail”, and a full-on shouting match about autism, trust, and conspiracy rabbit holes.
