Episode Details

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.
