Our search for the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein takes us this week to the island of Little Saint James. We search the coves and submerged coral for his spectral emission, but to no avail....So we moored up and began talking some politics. In this episode we discuss the recent vote of no confidence against Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy, the impending British election, and the movie Joker. We finish up as always by letting our resident Anomie Aunt empty his mailbag on our poop deck. Enjoy!

Planning permission is the first stumbling block to building or extending your home. This episode Patrick O'Reilly, Managing Director of niplanningpermission.co.uk and irelandplanning.ie, gives us the low down on how the planning process works in NI and ROI and how to increase your chances with your local authority. We also discuss which projects are exempt from planning permission, how to check that they are, and a reminder that not needing planning permission does not mean you are exempt from Building Control. Patrick has a BSc in Environmental Planning & MSc in Urban and Rural Design from Queen's University Belfast, and is a full corporate member of The Irish Planning Institute. This episode we're also joined by Sean Armstrong, Senior Advisor at the Department of Housing to chat about the new NZEB Building Regulations that came into force on the 1st of November 2019 (ROI) and what appears to be loopholes in relation to the Major Renovations requirement. Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy also gives us an update on the "locals only" provision currently in place in many County Development Plans in ROI.

Today's guest is Senator Lynn Ruane, the author of an excellent new memoir, who insists there is no such thing as 'reverse snobbery'. Or at least it's not something that a well-heeled person like (say for example) Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy needs to worry about, not in the way someone from Lynn's own neighbourhood needs to worry about the real, oppressive thing. With Political Editor Pat Leahy and Hugh, she discusses housing , educational opportunities and the lack of working class voices in the Oireachtas.

Ireland's housing crisis is complex and multifaceted, but one key element that the government must address in seeking a solution to it is the social housing sector. Two-thirds of all social housing in Ireland is now privately owned, while funding for the sector was cut by 82% during the last recession. Experts say the system is broken and reforming it needs to be prioritised by government. Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy has said his policies aimed at tackling the housing crisis are working, but with homeless figures continuing to rise, his critics say otherwise and there are rumblings of a motion of no confidence from the opposition benches. Joining Hugh on today's podcast: UCD professor and chair of the Housing Finance Agency Michelle Norris, head of policy at Clúid Simon Brooke and Sinn Féin housing spokesperson Eoin O Broin.

Last month we went to the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis for a close look at that party's policies, politics and personalities. This weekend it was Fine Gael's turn for their annual get-together, so Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy and TD for Dublin Rathdown Josepha Madigan joined Hugh, Harry McGee and Fiach Kelly for another live recording of the podcast. They discussed the style and substance of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar's speech, the new policy proposals outlined in the "first iteration" of their "rolling manifesto", and the remaining doubt over how far we are willing to go to secure a a frictionless border with post-Brexit Northern Ireland.
