Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

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.

It’s the weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” edition of Opinions Matter — no callers, no heavy debates… just Adrian and Jeremy having the craic and airing a few grievances.

First up: a trip down memory lane to Abrakebabra — including the legendary “rabbit food” burger saga, a man asleep in his burger, and a story that ends with a thrown meal and a bruised ego.

Then it’s Jeremy’s Mam and her love of “joints” ... then there's Jeremy's ultimate "ick" - a 42-year-old man who insists on calling his partner his “girlfriend"

Reform UK say social housing should go to British-born workers first — and foreign nationals should be pushed down the list. So Adrian and Jeremy ask: should Ireland copy it? Should being Irish-born matter more than citizenship, tax paid, or years spent here?

The calls are messy, heated and brutally honest. From “House the Irish First” and claims the system is being manipulated… to the Croatian/Polish examples of people who’ve worked here their whole lives and could still be treated as “blow-ins”.

Is it common sense prioritising locals… or discrimination dressed up as housing policy?

Kids as young as 10 in Ballymun allegedly killed a bird with a firework — and a Dublin councillor is calling for a major clampdown on illegal fireworks.

Adrian and Jeremy ask the big question: do we need tougher enforcement and more seizures… or should fireworks be legal here so responsible adults don’t have to “go up north” to buy them?

Is this about banning fireworks… or banning scumbag behaviour?
