Published 2 months ago
Description
European Defence Ministers meet in Ireland as questions grow over the country’s limited defence capabilities and reliance on its nearest neighbour for security. With closer NATO ties also under discussion, how much pressure is Irish neutrality under?
Plus, as cost-of-living pressures mount, how long can Government continue deferring carbon taxes and reversing excise cuts to shield households from rising prices?
Presenter Shane Coleman was joined by:
Timmy Dooley TD, Minister of State
Matt Carthy TD, Spokesperson on Justice, Sinn Fein
Suzanne Lynch, Brussels Bureau Chief, Bloomberg
Fionnan Sheahan, Ireland Editor, Irish Independent
