GoLoud
Opinions Matter is the brainchild of award-winning broadcasters Adrian Kennedy and Jeremy Dixon. On each episode the lads will debate the big stories of the day, highlight listener concerns, local issues and discuss the weird and wacky stuff going on in their lives
A listener called Killian gets in touch after his friend — a Dublin-born black Irish model — appears in an ad for a well-known Irish company… and the trolling that followed is absolutely vile.Adrian and Jeremy ask the question straight: why do some people get so triggered by a black person representing an Irish brand? Is it just plain racism, or is it being dressed up as “DEI” and “not representative”?
It’s the weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” episode, and Adrian and Katie are in full chaos mode from the White Sands Hotel in Portmarnock.
It kicks off with Adrian arriving in like a hero with two 99s… only to discover Katie can’t stand ice cream. From there it turns into a full-on listener pile-on: curry haters, coffee haters, trifle slander, ghetto food rows, and all the weird stuff everyone else loves but you can’t.
Then Angry Darren “boils my piss” over roundabouts, Katie admits to bus-lane behaviour, and the pair swap the biggest lies they’ve ever told… including a Garda escort to Fitzgibbon Street.
Michael O’Leary regularly calls for a two-drink limit in airports to tackle the rise in drunken disorder on flights. Adrian says it’s terrifying being trapped in the air with aggressive passengers… while Jeremy reckons if you “need” a few pints before boarding, you’ve got a problem.
Then Terry rings in and detonates the whole debate: he says his holiday starts in the airport, he can put away 7 or 8 pints before take-off… and he even admits he threw punches mid-flight after a disgusting comment about his missus.
Is a drink limit common sense, or punishment for normal people because of a few eejits?
A Bray mam gets in touch after her 6-year-old daughter comes in crying… because the little lad from across the road called her a “stupid, useless bitch”, told her “men are in charge”, and even threatened to “teach her a lesson”. All while she can regularly hear the parents roaring and tearing strips off each other at home.
So what do you do when you’ve no “proof”, only a seriously disturbing warning sign? Ring the guards? Call Tusla? Knock in to the mother… or mind your own business?
Daryl is planning his wedding… but his fiancée is “losing the plot” over one thing: his super-close friendship with a female colleague that everyone calls his “work wife”. They text most days, swap memes, and she even rang him late at night in bits after a row with her boyfriend — a call he answered while in bed with his fiancée.
Is his fiancée a jealous “bunny boiler”… or is Daryl crossing lines and emotionally cheating without realising it?
Can men and women be 'platonic friends' or is it always doomed to failure?
Ireland hands out €2.35 BILLION a year in foreign aid — and in the studio, Adrian is buzzing with pride that we’ve gone from “beg, borrow and steal” to helping poorer countries.
Katie isn’t having and of it. With homelessness, hospital trolleys, families stuck in hotel rooms and kids growing up with no stability, she says charity begins at home and that money should be spent here first.
Callers pile in on both sides: is cutting aid “heartless”, or is it common sense when Ireland has it's own problems? And how much of that aid actually reaches the people who need it most?
It’s the special weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” episode — where Adrian, Katie and Jeremy are just talking shite and letting the listeners in on the madness from the week.
Could you do a full digital detox holiday… phone in the safe for the whole trip, no pics, no posting, no nothing? And then there’s the Tooth Fairy debate: is €20 for a first tooth completely mental… or just the going rate when you’ve no cash in the house?
Plus, we ask you to finish the sentence “I hate people who…” and the answers are brutal. And yes, Jeremy’s “crush” gets a mention too!!
Aoife got in touch after a conversation with her boyfriend of almost two years left her completely speechless. He told her he wants to “spice things up” by trying bondage — tying each other up and dominating each other — and she says it’s made her feel really uncomfortable.
Her friends called it a “huge red flag” and warned that any man into that could be dangerous… even though he hasn’t pressured her at all.
So is she overthinking it, or should she run a mile? Adrian and Katie clash big time, and callers are sharply divided on kink, consent, boundaries, and whether this relationship is simply sexually incompatible.
Today on Opinions Matter, we asked a question that always divides opinion... Are psychics genuinely gifted, or are they simply preying on vulnerable people?
We heard from a woman who says she's a spiritual healer with a genuine gift, but many listeners were quick to say they didn't believe a word of it.
The debate became even more interesting when Katie shared her own recent experience of seeing a psychic. She admits she went in as a skeptic, but says some of what she was told was difficult to explain.
So, are psychics the real deal, or is it all just clever guesswork? Listen back now and decide for yourself.
On today's episode of Opinions Matter, we heard from a woman originally from Africa who is living in Balbriggan and says her family has been subjected to persistent racist abuse in their neighbourhood. She told us her children have been repeatedly targeted and that she no longer feels safe in her own home.
Believing the situation has become unbearable, she's calling on the council to urgently transfer her family to another house.
Should families facing serious racist abuse be prioritised for a council house transfer? Or are there other solutions that should be explored first?
Listen now and let us know where you stand.
Today on Opinions Matter, we spoke to a woman who was left questioning her relationship after her boyfriend made a shocking confession.
The couple had been together for five months and were talking about moving in together when he told her there was something she needed to know.
He admitted that, on a stag weekend a few years ago, he had a drunken sexual encounter with one of his male friends. He insists it was a one-off, says he's not gay, and has never been with a man since.
The confession has left her wondering if she can continue the relationship.
Was she making too much of something that happened years ago, or can you understand why she was so upset?
The debate had our listeners completely divided.
It’s the special weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” edition of Opinions Matter — completely unedited, completely chaotic, and full of the stuff Adrian and Jeremy ramble about while the live show is building on Facebook.Jeremy gets compared to Andrew Ridgely… and a full-blown row breaks out over whether it’s “Wham” or “Wam”.There’s a “first world problems” session, including Jeremy expensing a Dolby Atmos soundbar and then getting complaints about the bass from the management company.And wait until you hear what he did on his wedding night… it’s filthy, weird, and somehow all about money.
Today on Opinions Matter, emotions ran high after we heard from a woman who says she's being vilified for having an affair with a married man – insisting she's done nothing wrong and is just as much a victim as anyone else.
The topic sparked one of the most explosive debates yet, with Adrian and Katie taking completely opposite sides. Is the "other woman" to blame... or should all the responsibility lie with the married partner?
There was a lot of anger on this podcast today!!!
A listener in the UK, Andy, is raging after a 10-year-old girl with autism and ADHD told his 8-year-old that Santa, the tooth fairy and “all that” aren’t real — leaving his daughter in bits and the magic ruined.When Andy confronted the girl’s parents, he says they got defensive, refused to address it, and used the diagnosis as an excuse. Andy’s reaction (and language) sparks a huge debate.Callers clash: should parents be teaching autistic kids what’s appropriate, or should everyone else show more understanding? And is it ever ok to tell your child to stay away?
After the horror in a Tramore church, a listener called Megan asks a question that’s been driving her mad: why are people instantly more obsessed with an attacker’s nationality and skin colour than the victim?
Adrian and Jeremy dig into the online speculation, the “send them home” pile-ons, and the way social media rage-baits tragedies before any facts are known — even when the person charged turns out to be Irish.
Should back-to-school allowance be for every family… or only those who pass the means test?
Adrian and Jeremy tear into a message from James, a Dad of four who says it’s “all or nothing”: if low-paid families get the Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance, why shouldn’t everyone? Jeremy reckons working families are being punished, while Adrian says it’s there for people who genuinely need it.
E-scooters won’t be banned outright, says the government… but the new rules are about to get very, very tough. So on this episode Adrian and Jeremy ask the blunt question: should e-scooters be banned completely?
With shocking injury stats from Temple Street, callers clash over whether these things are “death traps” or a vital way to get to work — with Jeremy fighting his wife’s corner as a responsible rider.
From helmets, high-vis, registration and licensing, to “yup-bros” flying around estates and parents “not giving a fuck”, the debate gets heated fast!
It’s the weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” episode — uncut, unedited, and full of the most random ramblings you won’t hear on the weekday debates.
Jeremy goes into full Karen mode over “invaders” having cans on his precious Dublin 18 green… and somehow it turns into a row about Satzenbrau, class snobbery, and whether you should be allowed drink in public at all.
Then he takes aim at young people “living their best life” in Thailand, Patagonia and Indonesia — and claims that’s why they’ll never afford a house.
And finally: are holiday brochures still a thing… or are you stuck in 1992?
New figures show more than 6,300 people have been on Jobseekers Allowance for 10+ years — at a cost of around €800 million. So Adrian and Jeremy ask the blunt question: is there any excuse on God’s earth for staying on the dole that long?
The debate takes a turn when a “chef” claims he can’t get work because “invaders” took the kitchen jobs!!!
A listener from Drimnagh says she confronted a local man in Brickfield Park who was allegedly taking photos of teenage girls — and she wants parents warned, and daughters “covered up”!
Is this straight-up victim blaming… or just common sense in a world where everyone has a camera phone and “weirdos” are out there?
A Dublin City Councillor has gone on Fox News and told Americans “don’t come to Ireland… it’s not safe” — and it’s sparked a massive row.Adrian and Jeremy tear into Gavin Pepper’s comments, the Jamie Carney murder investigation, and the controversy over Gardaí not releasing a “person of interest” photo.Is Ireland actually unsafe… or is this just anti-immigration politics and social media fear-mongering?

Italy has just passed new laws that would ban sex education in primary schools and make it opt-in (with parental consent) in secondary school — and it’s sparked a massive debate: should Ireland do the same?
Adrian and Jeremy ask if parents should have the final say on lessons covering homosexuality, gender identity and trans issues… or if that’s a dangerous “slippery slope” that lets people opt out of anything they don’t like.
Callers Jess, Chloe, Anthony, Amy and Aine go head-to-head on “trans ideology”, tolerance, social media influence, misinformation like the “furries in schools” claim, and whether schools are educating kids… or “pushing an agenda”.
It’s the special weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” episode – completely unedited, totally random, and full of the kind of nonsense you’d never get away with on normal radio.Katie admits she’s convinced she’ll die alone and be eaten by her cat… before the gang launch into the great cats v dogs war, and a surprisingly heated row over the most vile word in the English language.Then it’s brand snobbery at its finest: Heinz vs Chef ketchup, HP vs YR brown sauce, Lyons vs Barry’s – and why some people deserve jail for “red sauce”.And finally, Katie commits the ultimate sin… she buys her daughter pink Crocs.
A loyalist bonfire in Moygashel, Co. Tyrone has sparked outrage after a mock-up mosque was placed on top with the slogan “secure our borders, end the threat of radical Islam” — and it was set alight early when police moved to remove it.
Adrian and Jeremy ask: is this pure sectarian, hate-filled carry on… or “just a bonfire” making a political point?
One gay listener says he struggles to feel sympathy because of Islam’s attitude to LGBTQ people, while others rip into the hypocrisy of “patriots” down south cheering on the same loyalists who burn tricolours, the Pope and the Virgin Mary.
On todays podcast, a wife and mum caused uproar when she revealed what she told her daughter.. the exact reason why mammy and daddy broke up!

It’s a follow-on to the Ballymun dog story episode — and this time the focus is on the fallout: the viral claim that “three Somalians” were caught cooking a dog in a public park… despite no video, no photos, and no proof.
A listener says the people spreading it should be arrested for inciting hatred. Adrian and Jeremy tear into how easily social media turns a made-up rumour into “fact”, and what that does to an entire community.
Callers clash over freedom of speech vs defamation, accountability for influencers, and whether forced retractions (or worse) are the only way to stop dangerous fake news.
A horrific video from Ballymun sparked a rumour that “three Somalians were spit-roasting a dog in a field" — and the story exploded across social media and even into the UK.
In this episode, Adrian and Jeremy call it out as “absolute bollocks”, asking one simple question: where’s the proof? With the NSPCA confirming they investigated burnt remains, and eyewitness Keith describing melted wheelie-bin plastic and an axle — not a barbecue spit — the lads dig into how Chinese whispers turn into “facts”.
Live callers react, tempers flare, and the bigger issue is hammered home: a dog was killed, and fake news is distracting from justice.
It’s the weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” episode — totally random, completely unedited, and just Adrian and Jeremy waffling in the studio.From carpets and saunas to who’s “dead” (or not) in the music world, Jeremy has a full-on meltdown discovering Barry Manilow is gay… and somehow Meatloaf’s death becomes a conspiracy.Then it’s a full-blown row over Father Ted: is it comedy gold or absolute shite?And wait until you hear the story of why Jeremy wore the same underwear for three days… and ended up buying women’s boxers in Brussels.
Today on Opinions Matter, we heard from a Garda in North Dublin who said he is fed up with members of the public branding Gardaí as "traitors" simply for policing anti-immigration protests. He insisted that Gardaí are just doing the job they're sworn to do, regardless of the issue.
But during the programme, everything changed when another person claiming to be a Garda sent us a message that stunned both the presenters and listeners. In it, they made explosive comments about the Irish public, praised foreign nationals as being "far nicer to deal with," and said they "hate dealing with" Irish people.
This week on Opinions Matter, Adrian and Jeremy tackle the huge verdict in the Parnell Square case: Riyadh Bouchaker has been found guilty of the attempted murder of three children.
With the comments section exploding, the question is simple — should he serve his sentence in an Irish prison, or should his Irish citizenship be revoked and he be deported to Algeria?
Live callers don’t hold back: outrage, talk of the death penalty, the cost to the taxpayer, and fears about “out of sight, out of mind” if he’s sent abroad.
The government is considering introducing five days paid leave for women who suffer pregnancy loss before 23 weeks — and most people agree that’s long overdue for miscarriage.But a lot of listeners got onto us about one key detail: the same paid leave would also apply to women who’ve had a termination. Should it be treated the same as miscarriage leave, or is it a “choice” that shouldn’t be “rewarded”?With live callers taking both sides, the debate turns fiery fast — from “it’s healthcare” and compassion, to accusations of “murder”, shaming, and whether employers should even know the reason. Strictly over 18s.
Amy from Co. Meath says what she witnessed in a piercing parlour was “nothing short of child abuse”: a baby, only a couple of months old, screaming while getting her ears pierced. She wants it banned in Ireland.
Adrian argues it’s quick pain a baby won’t remember, and some say it’s cultural and best done young in a reputable studio. Jeremy isn’t having it, calling it unnecessary and not the baby’s choice.
In this special episode, Adrian and Jeremy sit down to give their opinions on McGregor's appearance on Jimmy Fallon.. They don't hold back on what they think of him
A listener got in touch after her friend booked a family break in a hotel in Waterford… only to arrive and find the place “full of immigrants” (as she called them). So we ask the question: should hotels have to tell paying guests if part of the hotel is being used to house asylum seekers?Adrian says it’s nobody’s business who else is staying there, while callers argue about safety, “unvetted men”, privacy, and the reality that a third of Irish hotels are involved.From boycott threats to claims of entitlement, the debate gets heated, messy, and very honest. Strictly over 18s.
It’s the weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” edition.. Sometimes a bit rude... but always funny! On this episode... Jeremy is not happy with the waiting room of his Doctors surgery... And Katie has disgusting nails.. Allegedly! Strictly over 18's

It’s the weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” edition — the most random corner of Opinions Matter where literally anything can come up… and it does.
Adrian and Jeremy swap regrets, from giving up the smokes too late to Jeremy’s heartbreak over never going to his Debs (including the brutal reason why). Then it gets even weirder when he discovers, via old wallpaper, that he once had an imaginary friend called Eugene.
Katie rings in in a blind panic because she can’t figure out a self-service petrol station, there’s a proper row over Michael Jackson’s innocence, and the lads taste the new candy floss flavour Tayto… and nearly vomit.

Casper is raging after discovering his 8-year-old son’s best mate has been signed up to a boxing club — he said “moron parents” are turning kids into “little hard men”.
Adrian and Jeremy ask the big question: is kids’ boxing about discipline, confidence and fitness — or are we literally teaching children to punch someone in the head?
Angela says it’s “disgusting” and far more dangerous than people admit, while parents, coaches and callers hit back with talk of headgear, strict rules, point scoring and self-defence.
And then Joseph goes nuclear, branding boxing a “scumbag sport” and setting off a proper row.
Sabrina got in touch after her 10-year-old daughter asked could they bring her to next weekend’s Dublin Pride Parade — her auntie is gay and marches every year. Sabrina thought it was a harmless day out… until friends started warning it would “brainwash” kids and claiming “everyone goes naked”.
Adrian and Jeremy debate whether Pride is just like the St Patrick’s Day parade — or if it’s changed into something that's no place for children.
Niamh emails in raging about the amount of people taking “fat jabs” like Ozempic and Mounjaro, calling them the “lazy way out” and saying weight loss should be done the old-fashioned way — diet and exercise.
Adrian argues it’s nobody’s business how someone loses weight, once they’re healthier. Jeremy isn’t having it, saying people don’t deserve praise if “the jab did the work”.
Stay listening for the awkward moment when Jeremy is called out by a colleague.
A Nigerian mother living in Ballyfermot is furious after her young son was subjected to an alleged racist remark during a disagreement with another child over the weekend.

Plus: Bounty bars, coconut stuck in your teeth, popcorn choking in the cinema, Lilt being “gone”, and the big question—what words would you never use in front of your ma?
A Deliveroo driver is ambushed outside a Subway on the Malahide Road — two teenage scrotes try to rob his €2,500 electric bike with an angle grinder, and he ends up fighting to get his bike and phone back.
Adrian & Jeremy speak to Allencar (from Brazil, here on a student visa) about what happened, and ask why people stood and watched instead of stepping in.

Plus: “danger area” maps, scrambler bikes, Garda powers, and callers tearing strips off each other.
On this episode of Opinions Matter, Adrian & Jeremy take on the backlash after the Belfast riots — and the bizarre sight of people down south praising loyalists “like we’re all united now”, while the same gangs will be burning tricolours on 11th night bonfires in a few weeks.
They ask how anyone calling themselves a “patriot” can cheer on riots that saw homes targeted and families terrified.

Should he come clean now, or stay quiet to protect his kids from embarrassment and bullying?

Then it’s onto marriage rows, takeaways, “wrong spice” Nando’s disasters and the big question: what toppings should be illegal on a pizza? (Pineapple, sweetcorn, olives and even fried eggs get it.)
And finally, the conversation goes completely off the rails with dinosaurs, chemtrails, and Katie’s wild theories that leave the lads speechless.
€123 million of taxpayers’ money has been set aside for free legal aid this year… and Jeremy is raging. After hearing about a career criminal with 129 previous convictions back in court, he asks: why are we funding repeat offenders’ defence, again and again?Adrian argues it’s a constitutional right — access to justice and a fair trial, no matter who you are or what you earn. Jeremy wants a “three strikes and you’re out” rule… while some callers go even further and say scrap legal aid altogether.From family law horror stories and massive legal bills, to “scrotes in tracksuits” and court translators, this one turns into an explosive, no-holds-barred debate.
Bertie Ahern has found himself in the eye of a storm after secretly-recorded comments about “Africans”, the Congo, Muslims and fears about the “next generation” were leaked from a doorstep canvass — and now Ireland can’t stop talking about it.Adrian and Jeremy break down what he said, whether he was led into a “gotcha” moment, and the big question: should he apologise, or is this just free speech?Callers are split down the middle — from claims Ireland is being “destroyed” by immigration, to others saying you can’t tar people with the same brush, and that fear and online rabbit holes are fuelling hatred.

He says it was standard Friday prayers, plus a condolence for a cousin who died back home — about 20 men, no threat, no “mosque”, just five minutes to pray.Then the phones light up: fire safety, fear of the unknown, racism accusations, and one big question… where are they supposed to pray?
Jeremy reckons he’s cracked the secret to happiness: get on the dole and every weekend is basically a bank holiday. From 5.08am alarms and level crossings to laying out clothes for the full week like a man possessed, the lads go off on one about work, routines and “planning” your life.
Then it takes a hard left into pure madness: bedside lockers, celebrity crushes, and the very awkward question of why Jeremy’s wife has a framed photo of her draped over Max George from The Wanted.
And if you thought that was as weird as it gets… wait until you hear what one of the last keeps in a mini-fridge beside the bed.
Jeremy drives through Ballygall in Finglas East on a weekday afternoon and says he spots “dozens” of young lads (18–30) hanging around doing nothing — and it kicks off a furious debate.His argument is simple: if you’re under 30, able-bodied and not a carer or on disability, there’s “no excuse” for being on the dole… so cut it off. Others hit back with questions about mental health, addiction, education, and whether some people are genuinely “unemployable”.Callers don’t hold back, with suggestions ranging from tougher sign-on rules to mandatory courses and community work.
Gender-neutral toilets in schools… harmless modern design, or a step too far?Adrian and Jeremy dig into the outrage after a photo of toilets in Harold’s Cross Educate Together went viral — sealed cubicles, but shared sinks in the middle. Some callers say it’s “woke nonsense” and a threat to girls’ privacy, especially around periods, while others argue it’s no different to planes, festivals or swimming pools.The debate gets heated fast: fears about assault, bullying, supervision, and whether parents are focusing on the wrong problem altogether.Plus: want to win an Opinions Matter travel mug? WhatsApp “mug” to 085 825 2626.
Michael O’Leary says airport bars shouldn’t be serving alcohol at 4am — and it sparks a savage row on Opinions Matter.
Jeremy reckons early-morning pints are “pathetic” and fuel bad behaviour in the air, while Adrian argues it’s holiday mode and most people can handle one or two without causing trouble.
Callers from Wexford to Chicago weigh in: nervous flyers who swear by a glass of wine, others calling pre-flight drinkers “losers”, and plenty saying the real problem is airlines not refusing drunk passengers at the gate.

Today on Opinions Matter there was outrage when we received a picture from a listener of 2 women who came into the shop she works in in North County Dublin over the weekend in their pyjamas... she says this needs be banned!!!
There was war then when the women in the picture saw their photo online and they contacted us demanding that we remove the photo immediately... This all lead to a very lively debate about people wearing pyjamas in public!!!!
A listener has been going out with a woman for 4 months… and she’s just told him she’s pregnant. He reckons he’s been “trapped!... one called claimed that "working class" women are deliberately getting pregnant just to get moved up the housing list
It’s the weekend “Opinions Matter Extra” — the totally uncut version where Adrian and Jeremy chat absolute rubbish while the live audience builds… and somehow it turns into one of the most random episodes yet.Jeremy reveals he’s “living in hell” thanks to Communion season prices (a €440 dress… and a request for a cage of doves to be released), then the lads spiral into slugs with 27,000 teeth, gym nonsense, and whether people who show up hours early for gigs are just odd.Plus: Pitbull’s “number” in Jeremy’s phone, hugging strangers at gigs, and a “scary noise” in the middle of the night that nearly ended him.
A row has kicked off in a private housing estate in Swords after the management company emailed residents giving them three days to remove eight Irish tricolours hanging from lampposts.On this episode, Adrian and Jeremy ask: do management companies have every right to enforce the rules… or should people be allowed fly their own flag with pride wherever they want in their estate?Callers are furious, arguing it’s “our flag, our island” and claiming the tricolour is treated differently to other flags. Others say it’s simple: you don’t own the lamppost, and flags on poles look tacky and can cause division.Plus: another Opinions Matter travel mug winner.
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?
Plus, another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway at the end.
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.”
A viral video sparks today’s debate: should someone on the social housing list be allowed to demand a house in the exact estate they grew up in — near their mam for babysitting — or is it pure entitlement and “beggars can’t be choosers”?..... Expect a lot of angry exchanges in this episode!
Omar, an Irish-born Muslim with Iraqi parents, got onto Adrian and Jeremy after seeing a headline warning that “Islamist terrorism” is a significant concern for Ireland — and he says it’s pure scaremongering that only fuels Islamophobia.Should reports like this name a religion at all… or should it simply be called “terrorism” without tarring ordinary Muslims with the same brush?From callers quoting crime and terror “stats”, to others admitting they profile people on planes and at gigs, the debate turns fierce fast — with rows about immigration, radicalisation, “thought police”, and how quickly we forget Ireland’s own history of being labelled terrorists abroad.
Gardai have set up “incident rooms” around the country to hunt down anyone who broke the law during the recent fuel blockades — and it has people raging.
Adrian and Jeremy go head-to-head on the big question: should the Gardaí be tracking down truckers, farmers and protesters after the fact… or is it a massive waste of resources that’ll only rile people up again?
Callers are split. Some say “the law is the law” and want prosecutions to set a precedent. Others argue the protests helped bring fuel prices down and that going after people now is political policing.
And as always… it gets heated.
Things got very heated on this latest episode after listener Tracy gave out yards about the amount of "guady" and "tasteless" gravestones near her husbands burial plot. Callers were furious with her over her opinions
A mum messaged Opinions Matter after her autistic daughter was left heartbroken when she couldn’t attend a joint birthday party in a trampoline centre that wasn’t “sensory friendly” — even though the venue runs sensory sessions.Should the parents have planned the party around one child’s needs… or is it unfair to expect everyone else to change their child’s big day?Adrian and Jeremy row over whether the invite was “inclusion” or “a dud invite”, with callers split right down the middle — including autism parents and an autistic caller who says exclusion like this still happens.Plus, a kids’ play centre owner rings in with a surprising offer to make it up to the little girl.
It’s Opinions Matter Extra — the uncut weekend ramble where Adrian and Jeremy go completely off the rails before they even get near a “topic”.
Jeremy is raging about having to rent a tux for a black-tie wedding in a “kippy” Clayton, and declares he doesn’t do second weddings… so no present. Then it’s golf talk, caddies “rubbing balls”, and a row over using the word “birds” in 2026.
But the real chaos kicks in when Jeremy admits the school barely recognises him at pick-up — and he refuses to put his kid’s “art” on their Smeg fridge!!!
A fed-up listener “Patricia” says her neighbour has just had baby number five — and claims neither parent has ever worked. She’s raging that working families are making sacrifices while the taxpayer “foots the bill”, and she wants child-related welfare supports capped after the second child.
Our Katie backed her up and said that nobody should have children if they cant afford them.... and then the phones light up!!
Ciara from “posh” Leopardstown says her family and friends are judging the fella she’s seeing… purely because he’s from Coolock and “sounds a certain way”. She likes him — they don’t — and the snobbery is doing her head in.Adrian and Jeremy tear into class, accents and the unwritten rules of who you’re “supposed” to date… before Jeremy admits he couldn’t go out with someone with a “junkie voice”.Then the calls explode: one dad proudly admits he judged his daughter’s boyfriend for his accent, his job in Tesco and even liking MMA — and gets absolutely slaughtered for it.Reverse snobbery, council estates, and “standards” all get dragged into it.
A listener from Dublin 15 gets in touch about his neighbour who’s a Garda — and says he’s been getting dogs abuse in public, even when he’s off duty with his wife and kids, over the fuel protests.Adrian and Jeremy ask: are Gardaí fair game for abuse just because they wear the uniform… or should off-duty officers be completely off-limits?Callers clash hard. Some say it “comes with the territory”, others argue guards are only following orders, and a few insist they should refuse and walk away. The debate also hits heavy-handed policing, fake news about the PSNI, and that shocking off-duty Snapchat video doing the rounds.
Foreign national nurses in Ireland are now travelling to and from work in groups because of racially motivated abuse on the streets — and Adrian and Jeremy are furious.They react to the INMO warning, ask why so many people are demanding “proof”, and tear into the excuses, the whataboutery, and the “it’s just words” attitude.Callers argue back hard: one claims it’s exaggerated and “woke”, while others share what they’ve seen in hospitals and on the streets. Mo, who grew up in Ireland and later left, explains why she’d tell any doctor or nurse of colour: don’t come here.
Lauren joins Adrian and Jeremy to tell the terrifying story of being abducted after hailing what looked like a legitimate taxi in Dublin city centre — complete with roof sign, stickers and licence details — only to discover it was a fake.
She describes how the attacker drugged her, assaulted her and how the case later exposed a pattern of “copycat” offences linked to the same Romanian national, who had a previous conviction abroad. He was jailed for 17 years by the courts here.
The conversation turns to women’s safety getting home, the risks of hailing taxis, using apps for traceability, and whether Ireland’s vetting and information-sharing systems are fit for purpose.
It’s the weekend “Opinions Matter Extra” uncut edition — where Adrian and Jeremy leave the serious stuff at the door and let the pre-show rambling run wild.From the mystery of Chinese menu numbers to Jeremy’s legendary “69” order (and the IBS that ruined it), the lads go off on one about food, fortune cookies, and why peas and sweet corn should be banned from fried rice.Then it gets even more unhinged: a “wouldn’t be tolerated today” childhood photo discovery, Mosney memories (including the filthy pool), and the burning question — is darts a sport?And to top it off: the most disgusting bruised banana you’ve ever heard being eaten.
Dean says he was sacked from his job during probation after using the word “kn**ker” about himself — and insists it wasn’t aimed at Travellers. A settled Traveller colleague reported him, and now he says you “can’t say anything” anymore.
The fuel protests have entered a new phase — Gardaí say they’re now “blockades”, not protests, and the Defence Forces could be brought in to clear key routes and fuel depots. With the M1 and even the M50 being shut down, are the protesters after going too far… or is this the only way to get the government to listen?Adrian and Jeremy take live callers from both sides: small business owners being “crucified” by costs, families missing flights, and one caller saying her child’s medication is being delayed.Tempers flare, opinions split, and the debate turns to how long public support will really last.
Dublin city centre is brought to a standstill as farmers, truckers and others hit the roads over soaring fuel prices — and the Taoiseach warns there “will be penalties” for turning O’Connell Street into a car park.Adrian and Jeremy ask: do you fully support these protests… or have they gone too far?Natasha tells a shocking story of being stuck on the M7 for nearly two hours on the way to a serious medical appointment, with no Garda presence and the hard shoulder blocked. Callers are fiercely divided: “short-term pain for long-term gain”… versus “you’re only hurting ordinary people.”
Becky got in touch with Adrian and Jeremy with a dilemma that’s wrecking her head: should she expose her former school bully… who’s now a secondary school teacher with a decent social media following, dishing out “holier-than-thou” advice to parents and students — including videos about bullying.Becky says this woman made her life hell for six years, and seeing her play the perfect educator online turns her stomach.Callers are split straight down the middle: “ruin her” and name-and-shame her publicly… versus “message her privately”, give her a chance to show remorse, and don’t turn it into cancel culture.Then, a twist at the end leaves the lads stunned.
It’s Opinions Matter Extra — the uncut, totally unedited weekend episode… and it goes completely off the rails.Adrian and Jeremy kick off with a “studio scandal” involving a can of 7Up and a certain someone’s lipstick (yes, it’s as disgusting as it sounds), before somehow ending up in a full-blown argument about beetroot on a turkey roll and why everyone seems to hate it.Then it’s onto Jeremy being called out (again) over his Leaving Cert timeline, a chaotic chat about swearing and “God forgive me”, and a surprisingly serious dream: Jeremy landing a job doing Tube announcements in London… “Ding dong… next stop, Cockfosters.”
Valerie (not her real name) hasn’t seen her dad in nearly 38 years — no birthdays, no school days, no contact. Now it’s eating away at her, especially knowing he went on to have other children and seems to be part of their lives… while she feels like a “dirty little secret”.She tells Adrian and Jeremy why she wants answers, why she’s afraid to ask her mam, and what happened when she tried reaching out to half-siblings and was ignored.Then the listeners weigh in — some saying “don’t lower yourself”, others urging her to try before it’s too late… and warnings that a second rejection could destroy her.
A simple poster for Trans Day of Visibility goes up on the Opinions Matter Facebook page… and within minutes the comments turn vicious. Adrian and Jeremy end up pulling it down, shocked at the level of hate aimed at the trans community.Babs from Knocklyon tells them about her niece — a trans dental nurse — who had a patient refuse treatment just because she’s trans. So where does this bigotry come from, and what is it actually based on?Live callers lay it all bare: misinformation, “agenda” claims, sport and toilets, drag shows, mental illness labels, and one caller whose views leave the lads raging. A heated, messy debate about tolerance, fear, and letting people live.
A Garda has been hit with a two-year driving ban after a judge ruled his attempt to chase two illegal scrambler bikes amounted to dangerous driving — mounting kerbs, flying down a busy road, and all in the middle of heavy traffic and kids heading to school.
So should Gardaí be allowed to chase scramblers and e-scooters, or is it just too risky for the public?
The debate explodes. Some callers say the judge has handed “scrotes” a green light and the guard should get a medal… others insist rules are rules, and a patrol car can’t become a weapon.
A Dublin taxi driver from Pakistan, Mohammed “Atti”, went viral after a shocking video showed an Irish passenger roaring abuse at him over the Sunday starting fare of €5.40… an argument over about 60 cent.In this special episode, Adrian and Jeremy speak to Atti exclusively about what really happened before the recording started, why he stayed so calm while being threatened and racially abused, and why he turned back to the pub for CCTV.Atti also opens up about life as a taxi driver in Dublin, the abuse some foreign drivers face, and how tech like recordings and dash cams can keep drivers safer.
April Fool’s Day brings out the worst pranks on social media… and today Adrian and Jeremy debate one that’s everywhere: the fake pregnancy announcement.A blogger is pleading with people to stop posting “positive test” pics and scan photos for a laugh — because for anyone dealing with infertility, IVF, miscarriage or stillbirth, it can be genuinely triggering and cruel.Callers are split right down the middle. Danielle and Sarah share heartbreaking fertility journeys and ask for basic mindfulness… while others, including Jude, insist “offence is taken, not given” and tell everyone to toughen up.It gets heated, fast.
On this episode we hear Katie’s voice note from the car that gets played… and it exposes a level of road rage that has Adrian questioning everything he thought he knew about their “work wife”. Then it turns into a full-blown debate: voice notes or phone calls — which one is the real violation?
Plus: filthy studio glasses, court stenographers vs. just recording the whole thing on your phone… and Jeremy’s story about a suppository that you genuinely won’t forget.
Fiona (19) says she’s finally happy… but her dad has “gone psycho” because her boyfriend is 40. He won’t let him near the house, makes her get picked up around the corner, and has even threatened to “beat the shit out of him”.So is the father just protecting his daughter, or interfering in an adult relationship? Adrian argues that once she’s being treated with respect, age shouldn’t matter — while callers say it’s “creepy”, “predatory” and a massive red flag.Plus, a twist when a message comes in from Fiona’s mother claiming they actually started dating when Fiona was still in school.
Sky have just gotten a High Court order forcing Revolut to hand over the names, addresses and bank details of 304 “dodgy box” subscribers — and for the first time ever, they’re not just going after the sellers… they’re coming after the users.So is it fair? Should people be worried… or is it just a scare tactic? Adrian and Jeremy get into the legality, the GDPR confusion, VPN “workarounds”, and the big question: is streaming Sky/Netflix/Disney for free actually theft, or just people trying to survive ridiculous prices?Callers are raging, shameless, split down the middle… and it gets very heated. Plus, another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway.
Clodagh from Santry is in bits after a visit to her GP. She told him she and her boyfriend are trying for a baby… and he told her to lose weight first — at 19 stone, he said she should drop “at least seven stone”. She left the surgery in tears and even talked about reporting him.
So was the doctor bang out of order for giving advice she didn’t ask for… or was he just doing his job and looking out for her (and the baby)?
Callers are absolutely split — from “facts don’t care about feelings” to “there’s a way to say it”. Plus, another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway.
A young Irish “influencer”, Kyle Carroll, is going viral for a simple message: get the family back to church… and Ireland (and the world) might be a better place. Adrian and Jeremy ask the question a lot of you are thinking: is that faith… or just indoctrination?Callers are split right down the middle. Some say Mass brought community, morals and a “compass” that kids are missing now. Others say you don’t need religion to raise decent children — and that Ireland has a very dark history with the Church.And just when you think it can’t get more heated… a listener texts in with a “fiery pits of hell” message that proves Jeremy’s point about “Christian hate”. Plus, another travel mug giveaway.
A racist “content creator” calling himself The Irish Viking filmed a selfie video in Millennium Park, Blanchardstown — with kids clearly in the background — ranting about “foreigners” in a children’s playground. Adrian and Katie ask the obvious question: who the hell thinks that’s acceptable?Callers are furious, the debate gets heated, and the conversation moves into immigration, Islam in Ireland, Eid celebrations in GAA clubs, and whether social media platforms should be removing this kind of content (or leaving it up to be ridiculed).Plus, stay to the end for your chance to win an Opinions Matter travel mug.
It’s the weekend “Extra – The Uncut Version”… and as always, it’s completely unedited, totally chaotic, and all over the place.This time the gang go down a rabbit hole about “non-PC” expressions you supposedly can’t say anymore — from “as mad as a box of frogs” to “as black as the ace of spades” — and somehow it turns into a full-on debate about English, daffodils, and why people can’t tell the difference between “his” and “he’s”.Then there’s cocktails in public (with umbrellas), “Turkey teeth”, “Turkey tits”… and Jeremy’s wild idea to set up a GoFundMe for a hair transplant in Turkey. Would you donate?
Today on Opinions Matter we heard from a Finglas mother who is upset that the local school wont remove an autistic child from the classroom who has allegedly been hurting many children in the class... This really divided opinion and things got very heated on air!!
On this episode, Adrian and Jeremy ask: was it “dark humour”, or something far more dangerous? Should the people involved be named and shamed… arrested… or educated?.... We also spoke to a man who didn't see the harm in it and even admitted to have a "giggle"
Racist abuse aimed at Irish rugby debutant Edwin Adogbo has now been handed to the Gardaí — and we ask the question: what should actually happen to the people posting this filth online?
This topic took a sinister turn when the team were contacted by a vile racist troll
Are parents today just paranoid, overprotective “helicopter” parents… or are they right to be cautious because you never know what goes on behind closed doors? One mother didn't hold back on this episode, warning parents not to every allow sleepovers.
It’s Opinions Matter Extra: the Uncut Version — Episode 55 — where Adrian and Jeremy ditch the usual format and spend 10–15 minutes “shooting the breeze” completely unedited.
This one goes everywhere: shout-outs (and a row over how to pronounce “Emma… Lee”), tapas menus, dessert obsessions and the dreaded pre-marriage course.
Then it gets properly manky as a home microscope reveals the horrifying “filth” living in your bedsheets — and somehow that turns into tog arguments, prostate confessions and dirty hands!!!
Plus: do racehorses have a “real” name when they retire, and would you actually holiday in Dubai right now with everything going on?
Siobhan is raging: her next-door neighbours are smoking weed non-stop in the front and back garden, and the stink is drifting straight into her house. The kids can smell it, and she says it’s got so bad they’ve had to leave the house at times. If you're a weed smoker or life next to one, this is the topic for you
A listener from Shankill says there’s a WhatsApp group doing the rounds where parents are buying stolen gear for their kids — jerseys, TVs, phones… the lot. So we ask the question: could you accept something “off the back of a lorry” if it meant saving a few bob?
Adrian and Jeremy end up in a massive row, with callers admitting they’d take the bargain all day long… as long as it wasn’t robbed from someone’s house.
“Most antisocial behaviour and crime happens in council estates”… and one listener says the solution is simple: stick CCTV on nearly every lamppost in every council estate.
Callers are split down the middle: some say only criminals fear cameras, others say it’s a disgusting invasion of privacy and a lazy substitute for real policing.
Plus: another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway question at the end.
A follow-up to yesterday’s Ballymun row — and this time, the “proof” has landed. Adrian and Jeremy confirm they’ve seen the video showing a family (believed to be Roma) being brought to view the boarded-up council house in Shangan Green… and they ask the uncomfortable question: if they move in, will they be safe?From “house the Irish first” to EU rights and the housing list, callers go at it from every angle — including homelessness, long waiting times, and whether Dublin City Council has a duty of care to rehouse families where they won’t be targeted.Plus: another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway question at the end.
A boarded-up Dublin City Council house in Shangan Green, Ballymun has become the centre of a major row after “Only Irish house our own” was spray-painted across the front — and a protest followed, fuelled by rumours about who might be moved in.
Adrian and Jeremy dig into where the story actually came from, why nobody can produce proof (or a video) of a family being “shown around”, and whether local residents have any right to object to new neighbours.
Plus: another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway question at the end.
It’s Opinions Matter Extra (Episode 54) — the weekend episode made up of the random off-air waffle Adrian and Jeremy come out with while the Facebook Live is building.
This time they’re raging about the most insulting thing a listener can say in Spar (“I used to love listening to you”)...Jeremy floats the idea of dyeing his hair… only to get absolutely slated for it.
Then it’s onto religious relatives buying catechisms for “secular” kids, why people post videos back-to-front, and Jeremy’s meltdown when his 11-year-old’s mate shows up with a newer iPhone than he has.
All that, and plenty more nonsense!
Jeremy loses the plot after catching a gang of 11/12-year-olds swinging off (and basically destroying) newly planted trees in his local green… and he lets rip with a few choice words.
But was he right to “verbally reef” kids he doesn’t even know — or was the Dad dead right to tell him to mind his own business?
Adrian says you’ve no right to discipline someone else’s child (and definitely not with bad language). Jeremy says if people don’t call it out, areas get wrecked and kids learn nothing.
Plus: today’s travel mug winner — and another giveaway question at the end.
Penneys posted a new range of kids’ pyjamas to celebrate Eid… and somehow it sparked nearly 2,000 comments, rows, boycotts and accusations that Ireland is being “taken over”. Penneys even had to delete loads of replies and put out a statement about inclusivity.Adrian and Jeremy ask the simple question: why are people so triggered by a pair of pyjamas? Callers clash over Islamophobia, “woke” brands, halal meat, Sharia law, and whether celebrating Eid is no different to Christmas or Paddy’s Day.Plus: today’s travel mug winner — and another giveaway question at the end.
Two Burke women — Martina and Ami, mother and sister of jailed teacher Enoch Burke — are being sent to prison for two weeks for contempt of court after “shouting and roaring” so loudly the judge said he couldn’t be heard. Are they being persecuted… or is it simply consequences for wrecking courtroom decorum?Adrian and Jeremy tear into claims of a “woke government”, arguments about proportionality, and whether jailing them just creates martyrs — with callers split right down the middle, from “lock them up longer” to “this is a family being silenced”.Plus: today’s travel mug winner — and a new giveaway question at the end.
Should parents let a 16-year-old drink at home… or is it “enabling” and totally wrong?
Claire (a recovering alcoholic) is furious at her sister-in-law for letting her newly-16 niece drink alcopops and wine in the house because “it’s safer than fields”. Jeremy is having none of it — and shocks everyone by saying he’ll breathalyse his own kids when they’re teenagers.
Plus: today’s travel mug winner — and a new giveaway question at the end.
Damo is raging after the courts ordered him to pay €740 a month (€170 a week) in maintenance for his two girls, aged 6 and 8 — even though he says his ex earns as much (if not more) and he has the kids every weekend.
Adrian says the amount sounds fair… but Jeremy sparked war by insisting dads should be entitled to “receipts” to prove the money is actually being spent on the children. Adrian calls that insulting and completely none of the father’s business.
Plus: another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway question at the end.
It’s the special weekend “Opinions Matter: Uncut” edition — and it’s as random as it gets as Adrian and Jeremy waffle while waiting for the live show to start.
First up: is it rude or fair enough to ban people from eating in your car… especially when Jeremy eats like the Cookie Monster!! Then the lads derail into “strings to your bow”, DJ gigs, wearing Under Armour is for people in council estates....and Jeremy admits he only learned what “redacted” means because of the Epstein files.
And just when the sad music comes out for a “diagnosis”… it turns out the real tragedy is bowling alleys (or are they?).
This Opinions Matter Episode is like the Jeremy Kyle Show!
A woman came on air to defend her extra marital affair that broke up a family...and was then upstaged by a man who's shagging his team-mates wife!!
Plus: travel mug winners, and the next giveaway question at the end.
A public sector worker is facing disciplinary action for refusing to use a new colleague’s they/them pronouns — and Jay says it’s “bullshit” and a “disgrace”. Adrian and Jeremy ask: in a workplace, is it basic respect… or forced ideology?Live callers explode the lines. Some say they’d “lose my job first”, call it delusion and bad grammar, and even argue they wouldn’t hire someone who uses they/them. Others say work policies are about professionalism, not personal beliefs, and that it’s no different to respecting a name.Plus: another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway question at the end.
Social housing tenants in a brand-new Dublin 8 apartment complex say they’re being treated like second-class residents — because they’re blocked from the gym, sauna, cinema room and other “communal” amenities… while private renters paying up to €3,500 a month get full access.
Adrian says it’s nobody’s business what a council tenants pay and that this is pure segregation. Jeremy says “you pay for what you get” and calls the complaints pure entitlement.
Plus: a travel mug winner, and another mug giveaway question at the end.
Four years on from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has Ireland’s welcome worn out? Adrian and Jeremy read a message from Andre, a Ukrainian dad who fought for six months, now runs a coffee shop here, pays tax, and says the online “go home” abuse is getting worse.
Live callers are split: some say “keep the workers, send the rest back”, others argue refugees are being scapegoated while the housing crisis rages on. From ARP payments and “entitlement” claims to PTSD, jobs, and whether people should be forced home when the war ends — the debate gets heated fast.
Plus: another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway at the end of the episode
A SPAR shop in Cabra has had enough — staff say they’ve been racially abused, sprayed with drinks, and even had eggs thrown at them, and they’re begging parents to find out where their kids are at night.But the debate goes up a notch when we hear from “Des”, a Dublin 24 shop manager who posted CCTV-style photos of kids he says were robbing his shop… and then had furious parents at his door threatening to sue.So what’s the answer when Gardaí “won’t” (or can’t) act? Name and shame minors online… or is that completely out of order, no matter what they’re doing? Live callers don’t hold back.
This weekend episode of Opinions Matter is a totally unedited bit of madness you don’t hear on the main show.
Adrian, Jeremy and Katie go from debating the Angelus (how many “dongs” are there, and who even watches it?) to Jeremy’s very questionable altar-boy memories — bell ringing rules, “tabernacles”, trousers… and Father Thomas the drinker!!!!
Then it’s onto Katie’s MRI horror story (claustrophobia, panic buttons and being told to stay still), the great coffee-mug row, and the weird reality of being recognised in “the normal shop”.
Plus: lipstick marks on mugs, funeral “strangers”, and whether swearing in a eulogy is ever acceptable.
On this episode, a listener Slams "Braindead parents who are convinced that schools are trying to brainwash kids in LGBT Ideology"
A group of five Travellers say they were turned away from a Howth restaurant after booking a table – told their reservation was cancelled and “you’re not getting in tonight”. It raises a massive question: do pubs, bars and restaurants have the right to refuse anyone, anytime… or is that just discrimination dressed up as “management reserves the right”?
We spoke to Kathleen, a Traveller in her 50s who says she’s been refused her whole life. Others in hospitality argue venues are wary because of past trouble.
Gardaí are investigating a Limerick sting by “Justice Reborn” – a paedophile hunter group that confronted a man they claim was sexually messaging who he thought was a 13-year-old… and streamed the whole thing live on Facebook.
So do you support these groups taking the law into their own hands… or are they risking violence, getting the wrong person, and wrecking any future court case? Adrian’s main issue: why broadcast it live and potentially prejudice a trial.
Callers are split down the middle. Some say the guards don’t have the resources and the public needs to know who these creeps are. Others warn about entrapment, fair trial rights, and innocent people being destroyed online.
Racist abuse aimed at Irish rugby player Edwin Edogbo blows up online after the Six Nations win over Italy – so bad the IRFU had to shut off comments. Born and raised in Cobh, Co. Cork to Nigerian parents, the 23-year-old is Irish… so why are some people losing their minds over that?
Adrian, Jeremy and callers tear into the vile comments, the “heritage” argument, and the cowards hiding behind anonymous accounts. Angela (a Munster supporter who knows the family) and Aine (raising a mixed-race child in Ireland) bring it home in a powerful, emotional chat.
Plus: another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway question at the end.
A UK nursery abuse case sparks a massive row on Opinions Matter: should men be banned from working in crèches to “protect children”? One article claims 91% of child abuse is carried out by men — but is banning men logical safeguarding… or just ridiculous?
Callers are all over the place. Trevor says it’s “a woman’s job” and doesn’t trust male childcare workers, while others argue it’s discrimination, that vetting isn’t perfect, and that women can abuse too.
Plus: another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway at the end.
Welcome to Opinions Matter Extra – the totally uncut, completely random bit you normally don’t hear before the live show properly kicks off.
Jeremy tells the story of being pulled in by the Gardaí with his kids in the car… and the panic that followed, blue lights and all. Adrian, of course, turns it into headlines and takes the absolute piss.
There’s also a full-on row over “masticating” on mic, Jeremy’s buttonless ASOS cardigan (Katie is in stitches), a rant about people tagging dead people on Facebook… and an angry voice note from Vivienne that nearly breaks the internet.
Things took a weird and creepy turn today live on air during a topic about a strange and creepy message that a male listener (claiming to be Katies biggest fan) sent to Katie yesterday on her own private Facebook page...
Adrian was calling out the message and the man who sent it (and men who message women like this in general)... But when the guy himself phoned in to tell us why he sent the message and things got even weirder.... and listeners were both shocked and furious!!
At first we actually thought it was someone joking
Gerry “The Monk” Hutch says he’s running again — this time for the Dublin Central by‑election — and we ask the big question: would you want someone like him as a TD in Dáil Éireann?
Callers are absolutely split: some say “he can’t be any worse than what’s in there” and want to “give him a chance”, others say he has no policies, no plan, and shouldn’t be anywhere near power — especially with CAB still chasing nearly €800k.
Plus: another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway question at the end.
A petition with over 25,000 signatures is trying to stop a so-called “mega/super mosque” being built in Letterkenny, Co. Donegal — and we asked the simple question: what exactly is the problem with a place of worship?
With live callers and voice notes flying in, we hear everything from “it doesn’t affect your life, don’t go” to blunt admissions of not wanting mosques in “my country”.
Irish Muslim pharmacist Fadiya joins us with an honest, powerful perspective on growing up Muslim in Ireland, while others argue about planning, immigration, “Islamification” and fear.
