#343 Violence in Ireland A Threat to Us All?

In this episode, Niall investigates whether Ireland is a safe place for both men and women. According to media reports, 26 women have died since the tragic murder of Ashling Murphy, sparking concern that violence against women is escalating. However, recent data from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) also shows that men make up a majority of homicide victims in Ireland, suggesting that male victims often receive less attention and support despite facing significant risks.Niall speaks with John McGuirk to discuss the reality of violence in Ireland and whether enough is being done to protect people of all genders. Are official efforts skewed toward certain groups? How can we ensure fair coverage and care for all victims?Some callers argue that Ireland doesn't feel as safe as it once was. They point to near-weekly reports of violent incidents, underscoring the need for more visible policing, tougher penalties, and better social policies. While many focus on women's safety, they acknowledge that men are also subject to street violence and random attacks.Other callers emphasize that conversations about violence often overlook men's experiences. They note that although rising homicide rates for women are horrifying, men are statistically more likely to be murdered or assaulted in public spaces, yet receive less social support or media focus. In their view, Ireland must address violence affecting every demographic, rather than spotlighting certain victims over others.Niall concludes by highlighting the importance of addressing violence holistically. While shocking stories of harm toward women rightly spark outrage, it's also crucial to recognize that men are at risk and often under-served by existing systems. The question remains: How can Ireland protect all its people and ensure no one's safety concerns go unheard?

In this episode of the Niall Boylan Podcast, Niall is joined by John McGuirk, Senior Editor at Gript Media, and Michael Walsh, a political commentator and author. Together, they explore the intricate dynamics of the American presidential race, weighing the prospects of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in a conversation that is both insightful and contentious.Niall kicks off the show by setting the stage, noting the unique political landscape with Biden stepping aside, leaving Kamala Harris to challenge Donald Trump. The episode offers a robust discussion on the implications of this match-up, providing a variety of perspectives on both candidates.John McGuirk provides a critical analysis of the situation, describing the election as a "Hobson's choice" where neither candidate presents an ideal option. McGuirk, known for his nuanced views, expresses a desire that the left's dire predictions about Trump would come true, hoping for significant changes in the American political landscape. He points out the fundamental problems facing the West, including demographic issues, national debt, and the overwhelming influence of progressive culture.McGuirk is particularly scathing in his assessment of Trump's tenure, highlighting his failure to pass significant legislation and his chaotic governance. He portrays Trump as a short-term fix with potentially negative long-term consequences, arguing for the need for a competent candidate who can enact real change. McGuirk advocates for the right to focus on building a competent movement rather than relying on Trump's polarizing leadership.Michael Walsh, on the other hand, offers a more supportive view of Trump, despite acknowledging his flaws. Walsh describes Trump as an imperfect vessel for conservative hopes, citing his past as a Democrat and a New York social figure. He critiques the left's media influence, emphasizing how political narratives are shaped and transformed, often to the detriment of public perception.Walsh stresses the importance of the electoral college in American elections, predicting a close race with the outcome heavily dependent on key swing states. He highlights the strategic nature of the election, noting that the Democrats' get-out-the-vote efforts are likely to be formidable. Despite his criticisms, Walsh sees Trump as the better option compared to Harris, emphasizing the potential dangers of her presidency, particularly her leftist policies and perceived lack of political acumen.Throughout the podcast, Niall steers the conversation towards critical questions about the future of American politics. He challenges McGuirk and Walsh on their views, prompting them to articulate their positions on the significance of the upcoming election. The discussion underscores the broader issues facing Western democracies, including the cultural and political challenges that have become increasingly pronounced.Both guests agree on the high stakes of the election but differ on the best course of action. McGuirk's call for a more competent conservative movement contrasts with Walsh's pragmatic support for Trump as a necessary, albeit imperfect, choice. The episode encapsulates the divided nature of current political discourse, reflecting the deep-seated tensions and divergent views that characterize the modern political landscape.This episode provides a compelling examination of the American presidential race, offering listeners a thoughtful and spirited debate on the prospects and pitfalls of Trump versus Harris. It is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intricacies of contemporary politics and the future direction of the United States.

Why I won't Condemn The Coolock Riots With John McGuirk

In this episode, Niall Boylan speaks with John McGuirk from Gript Media about the recent riots in Coolock. The government is planning to convert the old Crown Paints factory into an accommodation center for asylum seekers, leading to significant unrest in the area. John McGuirk explains why he won't condemn the riots, emphasizing the government's failure to engage meaningfully with local communities and the broader issues of immigration policy.John discusses the government's failure to properly consult with communities before implementing large-scale asylum centers. He cites a memo indicating that such actions undermine social cohesion and cause unrest. "They say they're engaging with locals, but if you believe telling locals it's happening whether they like it or not is actually engaging, well, I assume they're telling the truth," he states.The conversation touches on the different responses to protests based on the socio-economic status of the protestors. John points out, "Classism is the issue in Irish society that no one discusses. There is a huge difference between some college student called Finbar getting beaten by the Gardaí and somebody who comes from communities where drug problems are, speaks with a very thick Dublin working class accent, and protests migrants."John highlights the government's strategy of placing asylum centers in areas where they believe it will do the least electoral damage, often targeting working-class areas. "The government's approach has been to put these centres into areas where they feel that it's not going to particularly damage them electorally as much," he explains.The discussion also covers media bias and its impact on public perception. John criticizes the media for holding the public accountable instead of the government. "So many of these people in the media, these weasels, seem to think it's their job to hold the people to account on behalf of the state rather than the other way around," he asserts.Niall and John debate whether protests have any real impact, with John noting, "Protest only works to the extent that it generates political pressure that forces politicians to change their views."Join Niall and John as they explore the complexities surrounding the Coolock riots, the role of the government, and the challenges of discussing these issues openly in today's media landscape.

In our travels around the world, people from all places are quick to tell us how much they love Irish culture, but that all changed on October 8th. For the first time, locals were no fans of Ireland and that's because Ireland is the most pro-Palestine country in Europe. Our friend John McGuirk of Gript Media joins us to discuss how Ireland views the Israel/Palestine conflict through the lens of its own history of colonization, and why this lens doesn't hold up. But that logic won't stop the Irish establishment from formally recognizing Palestine as a sovereign state and flying the Palestinian flag above its parliament.

Editor of gript.ie John McGuirk and Tom McEneaney, Media Consultant and Founder of Effective Aid Ukraine joined Kieran Cuddihy on the show.

Young men could rebel against the rise of global feminism by voting to retain the Eight Amendment

Last debate on the 8th: Young men could rebel against the rise of global feminism by voting to retain the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution, a prominent Yes campaigner has warned. Fine Gael senator and chair of the Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment Catherine Noone said she is concerned young men, who feel threatened by feminist movements such as the #metoo campaign, will use the referendum to hit back. Speaking on a special referendum debate on Independent.ie's Floating Voter podcast, Ms Noone said: “It's something I am concerned about even in my own party there are young men who seem to be somehow aggrieved with women because we are exerting our position in the world a bit more nowadays and that somehow that's anti-men.” “It's not, it's just about equality and you know I think it has permeated this debate and it will inform a lot of younger men,” she added. Ms Noone said she was also encouraged by the “huge proportion” of young men voting Yes to support the “women who they love”. The Fine Gael senator went head-to-head with Savethe8th communications director John McGuirk in the final debate of the referendum campaign published exclusively on Independent.ie Mr McGuirk said he has encountered older voters who will vote to Repeal the Eighth Amendment as a “screw you” to the Catholic Church. However, he believes his campaign to retain the Eighth Amendment will be a success if older people vote in large numbers. “I believe the vast majority of older voters will tomorrow vote No. Whether they vote in large enough numbers to help us win the referendum is an open question,” he said. Mr McGuirk also revealed that his opposition to abortion stems back to an incident in college when a woman he was close to was forced by her parents to have a pregnancy terminated. He also said he would discourage a family member from having an abortion if they became pregnant as a result of rape. “I wouldn't condemn them if they did. I have a friend who was born as a result of a rape and I can't look him in the eye and tell him he shouldn't be here,” Mr McGuirk said. Mr McGuirk also called for Google to be brought before an Oireachtas Committee to be questioned on the tech firm's decision to ban referendum advertising. Google took the decision as part of its global strategy to protect “election integrity”. Mr McGuirk said this was the “single biggest act of corporate interference” in Ireland's election history and said it suggested “our electoral system is being compromised”. “In any other western democracy that would be a major story and politicians would want to know what was the risk to the electoral process. In Ireland there was a collective shrug and a ‘whoop-de-doo isn't this great for the Yes campaign,'” he said. Ms Noone said she would have “no difficulty” in calling Google before the Oireachtas to force the company to explain its decision. However, she said she had not given it a lot of thought as she is focused on the referendum campaign.
