Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

The Social Democrats want to scrap Ireland’s mandatory three-day “cooling off” period before an abortion — and on this episode Adrian and Jeremy ask: is it a sensible safeguard… or a patronising barrier that drags out an already traumatic decision?

Callers clash hard. Some argue women have already “thought long and hard” before they ever walk into a GP, especially in crisis situations. Others insist the wait protects women, offers support, and could prevent regret — with heated debate over statistics claiming thousands don’t return for a second appointment.

Plus, another Opinions Matter travel mug winner… and a new mug giveaway question at the end.

Anthony thought he was doing the decent thing — stopped at the lights on Pearse Street and dropped 50 cent into the cup of an elderly Roma woman begging. Seconds later, an Irish passer-by roared at him: “Don’t give her any fucking money… give money to your own!”

On this episode, Adrian and Jeremy ask the question: are you encouraging organised begging and scams… or are you just showing basic humanity?

It’s Communion season… and Breda is raging. She says if you never go to Mass, don’t believe in God, and only show up for the photos, the money and the big day out… then you’ve no business letting your child make their First Holy Communion.

Adrian and Jeremy get stuck right into it — is it pure hypocrisy, or has Communion just become “a traditional thing” in Ireland?

Callers clash over tradition, Catholic schools, “plastic Catholics”, and whether it’s actually offensive to treat the Eucharist like an excuse to party!

Plus, there’s another Opinions Matter travel mug up for grabs at the end.

Buses being “bricked out of it” in places like Killinarden has people raging — and today Adrian and Jeremy ask what can actually be done to stop it before someone is seriously injured.

Is the only solution to permanently pull Dublin Bus services from areas where the Number 27 keeps getting attacked… even if that means punishing the whole community, including elderly passengers and kids? One Father had the next to defend their behaviour of teenage vandals/

It’s the weekend edition of Opinions Matter… and there’s no “main topic” at all — just Adrian and Jeremy letting rip with the most random studio chat you’ll hear all week.

Are slices of bread getting smaller? Have Cadbury’s Fingers secretly turned into “pinkies”? And why is Jeremy convinced companies shave a millimetre off everything every year to “fuck us over” without us noticing?

Then it gets even more unhinged: Jeremy reckons he wants another baby (after the snip), admits he’s lying to his kids about an island holiday having “no beaches”… and somehow the conversation ends up in prison cells, Liverpool supporters, and “I couldn’t whack one out with you in the same cell as me.”
