The study found that children are 82 per cent more likely to die if they are struck by an SUV. Pedestrians and cyclists are 44 per cent more likely to die if hit by an SUV than if they were stuck by a traditional car. Anluan Dunne from Tralee is a cyclist and environmentalist.

In this episode, Niall engages in a captivating conversation with Larissa Nolan, a seasoned journalist from the Irish Daily Mirror and Irish Sunday Mirror. The topic at hand stems from a recent article featured in the Irish Mirror that has sparked debate across the nation. The article in question sheds light on a Dublin primary school where third-class pupils, aged 8 and 9, have been instructed to refer to their gender-neutral teacher using the pronoun "they." This unusual request came as a surprise to parents, who learned of it on the children's first day back at school. The teacher has made it clear that they prefer to be addressed by their first name or the pronoun "they." While it remains uncertain whether the teacher identifies as non-binary or gender-fluid, what's unprecedented is the school's attempt to adapt classroom dynamics to accommodate the teacher's gender identity. Parents were not consulted before this change was implemented, and it has raised various concerns. On one side, there are those who believe that such requests are confusing for young children, asserting that students should not be corrected for using traditional pronouns like "he" or "she" at such a young age. Psychologist and campaigner Stella O'Malley points out that this move might put the teacher's needs ahead of the children's welfare and questions its compliance with the HSE's Children First guidelines. On the other side, proponents argue that it's a positive step towards acknowledging and respecting an individual's preferred pronouns. People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy sees this as a matter of basic decency, respect, and politeness, suggesting that children are capable of adapting to these changes seamlessly. Educate Together schools in Ireland often encourage students to address teachers by their first names rather than traditional titles like Miss or Mister. However, the request for children to use non-gendered pronouns towards a teacher introduces a novel aspect to primary education in Ireland. The school's stance on this matter, along with its principal's perspective, remains undisclosed as they did not respond to inquiries from the Irish Mirror. Importantly, there have been no formal complaints from parents regarding this development. As the conversation on gender identity continues to evolve, join us as we delve into the intricacies of pronoun preferences in the classroom, exploring the perspectives and concerns of parents, educators, and society at large.

In part-two of a three-part series, People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy makes the case for neutrality and against an enhanced military capacity. Ireland has no capability to control or even police the state's skies and has an extremely limited maritime capability. The cost-of-living crisis has seen hundreds of service personnel leaving and not being replaced. Some argue that the Defence Forces need investment, modern equipment, and more members. However, some others that more call for more military spending is warmongering and will lead to NATO membership.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The mass murders and disappearances of suspected communists in Indonesia in the mid-1960s became the blueprint for smashing the potential of socialists gaining power in countries across the Third World during the Cold War, ensuring the maintenance of American capitalist hegemony. This week, Rupture's Michael Coleman and People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy sit down with journalist Vincent Bevins to discuss his recent book, the Jakarta Method, which dissects the Indonesian mass killings of 1965–66, the CIA's complicity in the Indonesian atrocities and how these tactics were later implemented by right-wing authoritarian governments in South and Central America with US approval. -- Rupture Radio is a weekly podcast looking at news, politics and culture from a socialist perspective.

Since its introduction in its current form in 1972, the Special Criminal Court in Dublin has denied defendants the right to a jury trial. Introduced as an 'emergency' measure, it has become a permanent part of the repressive apparatus of the southern Irish state. This week, Cian Prendiville sits down with People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy and Irish Council for Civil Liberties Executive Director Liam Herrick to discuss the Dáil's recent renewal of the laws underpinning the court, Sinn Féin's decision to leave the Dáil chamber rather than vote against this legislation and the case for the abolition of the non-jury court. --- Rupture Radio is a weekly podcast looking at news, politics and culture from a socialist perspective.
