If that's not enough, they also unpack Budget 2026 and the bizarre quotes coming out of the UK party conferences.The first of the Irish citizens who were on board an aid floatilla headed for Gaza have returned after being held by Israel and Aoife and Colm discuss the importance of these protests which have been dismissed by some as 'publicity stunts'.And in the North, Belfast City Council has made the historic decision to introduce bilingual signage and logos.As ever, get in touch on [email protected]
