  • Did the US Lose The War With Iran?

    19/06/2026 | 25 mins.
    A peace deal has been signed between the US and Iran.
    Donald Trump will hope that this solidifies what was a shaky ceasefire born of fraught relationships within the region and a resounding lack of confidence at home.
    But has the United States emerged as the loser of the war they started?
    Where does this new deal leave Iran and Israel?
    And, most importantly. Can it hold?
    Ciara is joined by Gina London, International Communications Strategist & Trainer, and a former Award-winning CNN correspondent and Borzou Daragahi, long time Foreign Correspondent and Founder of Badlands Newsletter.
  • "I would rather vote for Hitler than a Tipperary man" - The Trouble with Redrawing Constituencies

    18/06/2026 | 21 mins.
    New constituencies are due to be drawn and may jostle the political landscape many of us were already familiar with.
    The goal is to accommodate the population growth the country has seen.
    But with constituencies clashing and political lines growing jagged, is the prospect of a satisfactory solution unrealistic?
    Ciara is joined by Sean Defoe, Newstalk’s political correspondent.
  • Still No Public Inquiry Into The Sallins Train Robbery

    17/06/2026 | 20 mins.
    Fifty years ago, three men were convicted of carrying out the Sallins train robbery.
    Their convictions were based on confessions that had been obtained under duress.
    Two were later cleared, the third was pardoned, and all three received compensation.
    But the State has never apologised, and there has never been a public inquiry into what happened.
    So, why not?
    Ciara is joined by contributor to The Irish Times, Patsy McGarry.
  • Stop The Game - The Legal Route

    16/06/2026 | 20 mins.
    Ireland will play Israel in the Nations League.
    But the home game will no longer take place in Dublin.
    The FAI has moved it overseas, to a neutral venue, behind closed doors.
    This has, as imagined, not satisfied anybody really... Now the dispute may be getting to the courts.
    Ciara is joined by Stuart Gilhooly, legal adviser to the Professional Footballers’ Association of Ireland.
  • The Public Inquiry Into The Murder of Pat Finucane

    15/06/2026 | 22 mins.
    A public inquiry into the murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane began last week.
    He was shot dead in front of his family in 1989.
    For 37 years, his widow Geraldine, and their children, have campaigned for a full public inquiry into allegations of British state collusion.
    And finally, after all these years and campaigning, the hearing begins.
    Ciara is joined by Pat's son Michael Finucane
