Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín was the first to rule himself out - revealing earlier this week that he was previously offered a trip to Moscow including a stay in a five-star hotel and a chance to meet Russian president Vladamir Putin. Members of both houses of the Oireachtas have been quick to proclaim their innocence, and speaking in the Seanad, Tulla Fianna Fáil Senator Timmy Dooley has called for transparency from all TDs and senators. Senator Dooley's party colleague Senator Malcolm Byrne, meanwhile, says there's a strong case to support his innocence.

In this episode of the Niall Boylan Podcast, Niall is joined by Peadar Tóibín, leader of the Aontú party, to discuss critical issues surrounding the Irish care system, particularly its failings in protecting the country's most vulnerable children. The conversation begins with a deep dive into alarming findings from Freedom of Information documents, revealing the state's struggling child care system, including shocking statistics about the number of children referred to TUSLA, the Irish Child and Family Agency, and the rising concerns over unregulated emergency accommodations.Peadar highlights the harrowing truth that over 200 children known to state services have died in the last decade, some through tragic circumstances like murder, suicide, and drug overdoses. He sheds light on the grim reality of children going missing from state care, some falling prey to sexual exploitation by organized gangs. The discussion also covers the failures of the government, particularly the Green Party, in addressing these critical issues, with Peadar calling for the resignation of the Minister for Children, Roderic O'Gorman, due to his perceived lack of interest and action in resolving these grave matters.The episode also touches on broader societal issues, including the impact of COVID-19 on family dynamics and the rise of referrals to TUSLA, as well as the ongoing debates around gender ideology within the health service, where Peadar criticizes the HSE's (Health Service Executive) policies on gender identity, arguing that they undermine the essential focus on women's health.This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in child welfare, government accountability, and the intersection of politics and social issues in Ireland. Peadar Tóibín's insights provide a sobering look at the current state of affairs and the urgent need for reform.

#256 Ukrainian Welfare To Be Reduced: Is It Fair?

The Niall Boylan Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 25, 2024 95:28


In this episode, Niall asks, "Is it fair to reduce Ukrainian welfare coming into Ireland from €236 to €38?" This discussion stems from the recent Cabinet decision to reduce welfare allowances for Ukrainian refugees living in State-provided, full-board accommodation. The payments, which previously stood at €232 per week, will be reduced to €38.80 per week for adults and €29.80 for children starting September.Niall explores various perspectives on this issue, highlighting the arguments for and against the reduction in welfare payments.Some callers argue that it's fair to reduce the payments, citing the free accommodation, food, and other services already provided to Ukrainian refugees. They believe that the reduction will help deter economic migrants and ensure that resources are better allocated to those truly in need. They emphasize the strain on the economy and the need to prioritize Irish citizens who are also struggling.Other callers feel that reducing welfare payments for Ukrainian refugees is unjust. They argue that these refugees are fleeing a war-torn country and need comprehensive support to rebuild their lives. Cutting their financial assistance would exacerbate their struggles and undermine their ability to integrate and live with dignity. They stress that refugees deserve the same level of support as Irish citizens, especially given their dire circumstances.Niall also engages with Peadar Tóibín TD, Leader of Aontú, to delve deeper into the political and social implications of this decision, discussing how it aligns with broader immigration and welfare policies.
