Podcast appearances and mentions of Leo Varadkar

William Hampton was a nomadic millionaire famously described by Leo Varadkar “a vagabond who lived in a caravan”. Hampton left most of his fortune to Sinn Fein. Unsurprisingly – the party were happy to take the money, and equally unsurprisingly their rivals were quick to criticise that, especially given that the money went north. Now Sinn Féin is set to take in over £80k after a derelict cottage in County Carlow was found to belong to Hampton. Ciarán Dunbar is joined by the Belfast Telegraph's Andrew Madden. Hosted on Acast.

Leo Varadkar is the former Taoiseach and former leader of Fine Gael. Under his tenure at the top of government, the most substantial climate policies in the history of the state were implemented, but will they enough to bring Ireland from being a "climate laggard" to a climate leader?    For his policy changes, Varadkar chose to reform the Common Agricultural Policy to incentivise more sustainable farming, to make Ireland a leader in Sustainable Aviation Fuel, and to build more electricity interconnection.   For his personal changes, he spoke about repairing his clothes to get a longer life out of them, and reducing food waste at home. 

Host Hugh Linehan is joined by Harry McGee and Jack Horgan-Jones to look back on the week in politics:· The budget was somewhat overshadowed this week by stories with far less cost involved, but no shortage of outrage – not least the final cost of Government Buildings security hut hitting €1.4 million and the row over the announcement of new sports capital grant funding for local clubs. · Sinn Féin's alternative budget has many worthy pledges but is ultimately futile without the party's hands actually being on the levers of power.· And the controversy around a letter of congratulations President Michael D Higgins sent in July to Iran's new president Masoud Pezeshkian was reignited at a United Nations event in New York last Sunday.Plus, the panellists pick their favourite IT reads of the week:· Michael McDowell on the Government's advanced administrative sclerosis.· Mark Hennesy wrote of former taoiseach Leo Varadkar's contention that immigration numbers have risen too quickly here.· And Mary Carolan's piece on the use of ‘inappropriate' slang and cultural references in a judgment concerning a Co Clare wind farm.Produced by John Casey.

Micheál Lehane, Political Correspondent on budget leaks and Labour's Ivana Bacik reacting to Leo Varadkar's comments

Former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said the level of immigration to Ireland has been too high in recent years. He made these comments on a visit to the US last week when speaking to the University of Notre Dame's college newspaper The Observer.He joined Andrea on Lunchtime Live earlier and doubled down on his comments. Kieran is joined by David Quinn, Sunday Independent Columnist and People Before Profit TD, Brid Smith to discuss.

Leo Varadkar has called for all parties to make pledge on Irish unity. The Former Taoiseach says new ideas like the Dáil sitting in Stormont at times or British passport-holders in cabinet need to be considered. We get reaction from Doug Beattie, Ulster Unionist Party Justice Spokesperson and MLA for Upper Bann.

"All trends point towards Irish unification in the next few decades". The words of Leo Varadkar who has called for all parties running for election to include a call for a United Ireland in their manifestos. We get reaction with Amanda Ferguson Belfast based Journalist and also Gary Murphy Professor of Politics, Dublin City University.

Host Hugh Linehan is joined by Jen Hogan and Cormac McQuinn to look back on the week in politics:· Political parties are eagerly pitching eye-catching measures ahead of Budget 2025 with 50 per cent of respondents in the latest Irish Times / Ipsos poll saying they want the Government to prioritise ‘immediate help' with the cost of living. · Has Simon Harris reached peak popularity? The Taoiseach's surging personal approval ratings mirrors that of his predecessor Leo Varadkar who enjoyed similar peaks, but endured troughs not long after - could Harris be in for similar? · The Dáil resumed this week with Sinn Féin going on the attack during leader's questions, highlighting children with scoliosis and spina bifida awaiting surgery, and the “gold-plated” pension pots of the well-heeled that are set to get a boost. Plus, the panellists pick their favourite IT reads of the week:· Miriam Lord on the extremely expensive bijou bike shed on Leinster lawn.· Carl O'Brien wrote about new research from Maynooth University that showed the benefits of much shorter homework tasks.· And Emer McLysaght swapped tales of air fryers and steam mops on a group holiday to Spain.Produced by John Casey.

I'm pretty sure that you will not have heard an interview with Tánaiste Micheál Martin quite like this one before. The man is great craic, full of funny stories and banter – it's a side to him that we rarely get to see in the Dail and on current affairs shows, but we certainly get a taste of it in this episode. We talk about his love of impressions, and he even does a few for us! He tells me what he thinks of my Gift Grub caricature of him, he also talks about his relationship with Leo Varadkar behind the scenes, time he spent in the north trying to understand the unionist perspective, the return of Bertie and his rumoured bid for the Presidency, getting into bed with Sinn Fein, and and lots more. We actually stayed in studio chatting for over an hour and a half and so we've decided to break the conversation up into two parts, the first of which you're about to press play - and if you'd like to hear part 2 afterwards, jump back to Oct 2023 on this menu. I hope you enjoy what I think is a very different kind of interview with one of Ireland best-known politicians.

Leo Varadkar, Fine Gael TD for Dublin West and former Taoiseach

Ireland and Spain are to grant formal recognition to a Palestine state as soon as this month. The move puts Dublin and Madrid at odds with most other EU states and with the United States. Sweden is the only other state to have recognised Palestine during its membership of the EU, and that was a decade ago. In this episode, Tony Connelly, the Europe editor for the Irish public broadcaster RTE, describes the historical and political backdrop to Ireland's decision. Reasons include pressure from the left-wing party Sinn Féin, the former political wing of the Irish Republican Army that had operational ties with the Palestine Liberation Organisation. Recognition is a way to give moral support to Palestinians particularly in Gaza where the Israeli military has killed around 35,000 people in response to the attack by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7 that killed around 1,200. Recognition also marks a significant break with the long-established view that Palestinian statehood only should come after a two-state agreement with Israel. But who Dublin would recognise as the representatives of a Palestinian state remains an open question, and there's little expectation of any immediate impact on the Gaza conflict. The move also adds to bad blood between Dublin and Tel Aviv that's been aggravated by recent spats involving former prime minister Leo Varadkar and the Eurovision performer Bambie Thug. While a shared struggle for independence helps explain Irish readiness to lend Palestinians support, how modern Irish history maps onto Palestine is far from straightforward. During the 1920s some 700 Irish police were deployed to British-administered Mandatory Palestine to support a mostly British police force with a reputation for brutality, the Black and Tans. And in the 1940s Jewish militants fighting the British in Palestine actually identified with the IRA and its leaders like Michael Collins. An ambiguous Irish relationship with Zionism can be seen in novelist James Joyce's masterwork Ulysses. Joyce's protagonist Leopold Bloom proclaims unity among "all, jew, moslem and gentile" even as he must contend with virulent antisemitism in Dublin. Read Tony's recent reporting from the West Bank and watch the trailer for his TV documentary about his grandfather.Support the Show.

It time to recognise the State of PalestineIn 2014 Sinn Féin brought forward a Dáil motion calling on the government to “officially recognise the State of Palestine, on the basis of the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as the capital …”I was part of this initiative. It got support from other TDs from other parties and none. It was not opposed by the Government at that time. Following a two day debate the motion was passed. This meant that ten years ago both Houses of the Oireachtas supported the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination - to a Palestinian state. This was a positive development. The Government should have acted on this imperative. It refused to do so. I raised this refusal regularly with successive Taoisigh. Every Taoiseach since then refused to deliver on the will and direction of  the Oireachtas. They would not  act on this imperative. Instead they argued that recognition  of a Palestinian state remained contingent on a deal with Israel to a two state solution. In reality Enda Kenny, Micheál Martin, Leo Varadkar gave the state of Israel a veto over the right of the Palestinian people to a Palestinian state.Seán Mackel and the County Antrim Memorial. Following my tribute last week to Seán Mackel Dr Tom Hartley has written to me about Seán's role in designing the County Antrim Memorial in Milltown Cemetery. This memorial  is under the care of the National Graves Association, Belfast. There are thirty four IRA Volunteers buried in this plot. It was originally called the Tom Williams plot, because money raised by the Tom Williams Gaelic Athletic and Camogie club bought the plot. The club was founded by republican prisoners in A Wing, Crumlin Road Jail who wanted to reserve a grave in this plot for the remains of Tom Williams, a young republican hanged in Crumlin Road Jail in 1942. Rights in a New IrelandThe issue of rights is at the heart of the conversation on a new Ireland. Sinn Féin's Commission on the Future of Ireland which has been holding successful Peoples Assemblies across the island over the last 18 months, will host ‘Rights in a New Ireland' on Friday 3rdMay, in St Comgall's – Ionad Eileen Howell, Divis Street, between 11.00am – 1.00pm

Mary Regan, political reporter and Gerard Howlin, Public Affairs Consultant, discuss the political priorities outlined by Fine Gael leader Simon Harris over the weekend as Leo Varadkar undertakes his final day in office as Taoiseach.

Vincent Kearney, Northern Editor, looks ahead to Leo Varadkar's final engagement as Taoiseach.

Although Simon Harris reportedly describes himself as an 'accidental politician', he has managed to make a career out of it. His interest in politics was sparked at the age of 15 when he set up a support group in his local town to campaign for better secondary education for autistic people after he saw his parents struggle to get help for his younger brother. From then on his path was set. After a brief dalliance with Fianna Fail he joined the youth wing of the Fine Gael party at 17. He gave up his degree studies in year three of a four year course to work as an assistant to the then leader of the opposition in the Irish Parliament. By the age of 24 he was elected to parliament with the nickname 'Baby of the Dail' and was a junior minister by the age of 27. Since then he's held two further ministerial posts. Now, after the shock resignation of former Taioseach, Leo Varadkar in late March, he was elected unopposed as leader of the Fine Gael party and now is expected to be confirmed as the new Taoiseach when the parliament returns after the Easter break. With a new nickname, 'The Tik Tok Taoiseach' because of his use of social media he's on track to break another record, set by his predecessor as the youngest Taoiseach in history to date. Kate Lamble finds out what makes him tick outside of Tik Tok and his rapid rise to the top job in Irish politics.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an séú lá de mhí Aibreáin. Is mise Niall Ó Siadhail. Beidh Simon Harris ina Thaoiseach Dé Máirt nuair a fhillfidh Teachtaí Dála ar an Dáil i ndiaidh shos na Cásca. Ós rud é nach raibh aon iarrthóir eile do cheannaireacht Fhine Gael tar éis do Leo Varadkar éirí as an ról, tá Harris ina cheannaire gan toghchán ach beidh vóta de dhíth sa Dáil chun é a dheimhniú mar Thaoiseach, an Taoiseach is óige i stair an stáit ag seacht mbliana is tríocha d'aois. Baineadh croitheadh as lucht polaitíochta an Tuaiscirt seachtain ó shin nuair a gabhadh Jeffrey Donaldson, ceannaire an Pháirtí Aontachtaigh Daonlathaigh, ar chúiseanna mí-úsáide stairiúla, ach roghnaíodh Gavin Robinson mar cheannaire sealadach an pháirtí agus táthar ag súil nach mbeidh aon drochéifeacht ar Thionól Chnoc an Anfa. Tá beagnach 40 ball den Pháirtí Daonlathach i Meiriceá, Nancy Pelosi ina measc, i ndiaidh impí ar Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe, Joe Biden, agus ar an Rúnaí Stáit, Anthony Blinken, stop a chur le díolacháin arm d'Iosrael. D'éiligh Biden féin sos cogaidh Déardaoin tar éis d'fhórsaí Iosraelacha seachtar oibrithe cabhracha a mharú. Tá súil ag an charthanacht World Central Kitchen go dtarlóidh fiosrúchán neamhspleách. Ghlac Iosrael freagracht as an eachtra, agus dúirt an Príomh-Aire nár tharla sé d'aon ghnó, ach níor gabhadh aon phardún faoi. Tá imní ann sa Mheánoirthear maidir le freagairt na hIaráine ar mharú seachtar oifigeach den Gharda Réabhlóideach i nDamaisc na Siria fosta. Cuirfear tús le Craobhchomórtas Sinsir na hÉireann sa Pheil an deireadh seachtaine seo agus foireann Londan ag imirt in aghaidh Chontae na Gaillimhe in Ruislip inniu. Beidh Maigh Eo ag imirt i Nua Eabhrac amárach agus roinnt cluichí ar siúl ar fud na hÉireann.

In this political update, Naomi and Tim sum up the background of the incoming new Taoiseach Simon Harris and discuss the sudden resignation of Leo Varadkar and the different factors behind it. One of them was Ireland's two recent referendums aimed at changing some of the more Catholic-influenced conservative language in the 1937 constitution, which ended in a resounding defeat for the government. What were the proposed changes and why were they rejected by the public? Finally, we look ahead to the bonanza of elections that are due in the coming year, and how the different parties sit in the polls. What are your thoughts on the resignation of Leo Varadkar and the incoming Simon Harris? A bonus episode where we take listener questions is coming soon for supporters over on Patreon.

Leading journalist Sarah Carey talks to Jim and Chris about Leo Varadkar's departure and Simon Harris' accession.'Harris needs to be much more than a good communicator'. The big test, one of many, will be his choice of cabinet. That will signal whether genuine change is on the way. 'The reshuffle will tell us if Harris is serious'Will any exiting FG TDs be tempted back?Why are so many voices of the centre so scared to speak up?Why do 'progressives' oppose building anything?Harris should ban his party from social media.Mainstream media ( we are looking at you Fintan and Una) is as responsible as Sinn Fein for painting Ireland as a failed state. All of the evidence, with full acknowledgement of all of the problems, shows emphatically that Ireland is the opposite of a dystopian hell hole.Sinn Fein have peaked. The electorate is waking up to the fact that they offer slogan without solutions. The ones to watch are the independents. Maybe some of them should be tempted into government via ministerial appointments - but only if they join the Party.Politicians take all of the blame and none of the credit. It's a cruel and thankless gig. Maybe FG need a spell in opposition? Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/the-other-hand-with-jim.power-and-chris.johns. Hosted on Acast.

What does the giddiness surrounding his departure tell us about the problems in Ireland today?

The Irish are awake, and they are done with progressive ideology.  They are done with forced immigration, they are done with the attacks on their culture and their thoughts, but most of all they are done with people like former Prime Minister Leo Varadkar.  They are fed with the people  like Leo who wants to control what they eat, how they think, what they say, where they live, how they live and what they say.  Mike Parrott reveals why Leo Varadkar resigned as Prime Minster and how the Irish people are reclaiming their country.  These actions are needed through out the world and especially in the United States.  Mike reveals this and more on this episode of Parrott Talk.
