The UK government will intentionally break international law with new legislation designed to let it off the hook for certain aspects of the Northern Ireland protocol, a part of last year's Brexit deal. It's a move that would have been unthinkable not long ago, but it shows just how much the Conservative party has changed under Boris Johnson, says Denis Staunton. From Brussels, it looks as though the UK abruptly decided to stop playing chess and begin wrestling, says Naomi O'Leary. Plus, the appointment of Mairead McGuinness as EU commissioner and the worsening Covid-19 news.

Sinn Fein, the party best known as the political wing of the IRA, won more votes than Fianna Fail or Fine Gael. How and why did this happen, and what happens now? Andrew Mueller is joined by Naomi O'Leary, Pat Leahy and Siobhan Fenton.
Back in the good ol' days, if you wanted to travel to a different country you needed a piece of paper from your King which asked people to kindly not kill you. Luckily, things have progressed since then and now we have little book that asks people not to kill you.

Welcome to series 2 of Motherfoclóir! We've missed you something terrible so we have. An awful lot has been happening lately so to kick things off we're having a quick look at a topic that's likely to be looming in the background for the next few months. At the end of 2018, it was widely noted that the movement to repeal the 8th Amendment want from being a political football "too divisive to even talk about" to passing a referendum by a significant majority- all in 12 months. Could the same thing happen with a United Ireland? Could some unionists accept some version of a republic to stay in the EU? In this week's episode, Darach is revisited by Naomi O'Leary from the Irish Passport podcast. They talk about this very issue and what issues a new single state on this island might face and what possibilities might be created. --- Contact the show twitter - @motherfocloir and @theirishfor email - motherfocloir@headstuff.org
Naomi O'Leary, journalist and co-host of The Irish Passport, joins us to talk about maybe the bleakest book in children's literature, Marita Conlon-McKenna's famine classic Under The Hawthorn Tree. We talked about the unrelenting horror of the book, the historical accuracy, and how maybe it should be on the British school curriculum as well as the Irish one. There's also a whole load of talk about Brexit and we try to solve the mystery of forgotten Irish author Mary Regan's The Secret Of Yellow Island.
