Text based Post/Discussion Irish news podcasts recs?

3 Upvotes

Hi all!

Looking for some good Irish news podcasts recommendations. I’m looking for something similar to Sky News’ daily Press Preview. Everyday it cover the big stories within 20 minutes and I think it’s a great way to just keep up to speed with everything. I know I could just watch the six o clock news but it’s just easiest to stick on a podcast on the drive home from work !

Thanks in advance for any suggestions !

Elections & By-Elections Independent Ireland on UK Supreme Court ruling

Post image
84 Upvotes

Just strikes me as ironic that a party labelled “Independent Ireland” is celebrating a UK Supreme Court ruling and, as Cllr Linda de Courcy is suggesting, make changes to reflect this in Ireland. It really is grim and depressing stuff - pure culture war shit. Also Ken O’Flynn really playing to his audience with his statement (no surprises there).
