On this Heard Tell Good Talks, our guest Conor Duffy joins us from Ireland to discuss the historic elections there as Sinn Féin becomes the dominant political party. So, how did that happen, that the long billed "political wing of the IRA" went from being banned in media and investigated and suspected to political power and a generational change 20 years removed from The Troubles? Conor talks the history, the present, and what might be coming next in Ireland, the increasingly chaotic mess in Northern Ireland as the UK's government is focused elsewhere, and whether current events mean the long discussed dream of reunification is closer now that it has been before.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/heard-tell/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

University could be about to get a lot more expensive, depending on what you want to study. From next year, under a government proposal, it would cost 113% more to go to uni for an Arts degree, and 28% more to study law or commerce, while the cost of studying agriculture, maths, nursing, teaching and languages would fall significantly. So what's the rationale behind the change? And if it goes through, will it change enrolment trends? Today on The Signal we ask why the Government has decided that certain subjects are more worthy of funding than others, and what it might mean for you.
