Jerry spoke to former Minister of State, Deputy Michael Healy-Rae, in his first in-depth interview since his dramatic resignation from Government. He told Jerry that “a fire was lit on this programme, Kerry Today, [when his brother fellow independent Danny Healy-Rae called for the removal of Mícheál Martin and Simon Harris on Kerry Today] and try as I might I couldn't put it out." This is Deputy Michael Healy-Rae’s explanation as to the events that led to his resignation as Minister of State and voting no confidence in the government.
The Tánaiste Simon Harris has announced plans for a major overhaul of rural housing rules, describing it as the most significant change to planning policy in over two decades. The proposed reforms aim to ease restrictions on rural development, including rules around ribbon development and housing on family farm holdings, with the goal of making it easier for people with a social or economic need to build homes in the countryside. The changes are expected to go before Cabinet early next month. To discuss this further, Derrick Lynch was joined by Clare Fine Gael TD, Joe Cooney and Ogonnelloe architect & lecturer at the Department of Architecture at the South East Technological University, Garry Miley.

Barry Lenihan, Political Correspondent, reports on comments from Tánaiste, Simon Harris that the government is preparing to overhaul planning rules for one off housing in Rural Ireland.
Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport Patrick O’Donovan will not attend the UEFA Nations League game between Ireland and Israel in October. Jerry also asked him about Tánaiste Simon Harris’s announcement that the government has plans for the biggest overhaul of rural housing rules in decades. Minister O’Donovan also discussed funding he announced recently for so-called grassroots venues that provide platforms for emerging musicians, artists, and other talents.
Le dearcadh an ghrúpa ar an méid a thug an Tánaiste Simon Harris le fios, go bhfuil athruithe suntasacha le déanamh ar na rialacha a bhaineann le tógáil tithe faoin tuath le go mbeidh sé níos fusa feasta tithe aonaracha a thógáil.
Tánaiste Simon Harris has told the Fine Gael parliamentary party that the Government is preparing the biggest overhaul of rural housing rules in two decades.The changes will allow those who have a social or economic need to live in a rural area, or those who have lived in a rural area for a defined period of time at any point in their life, have a reasonable expectation they can get planning.Joining Shane to discuss this is Independent Ireland TD for Roscommon and Galway, Michael Fitzmaurice, and Professor of Economics at UCC, Frank Crowley.
Transfers from the eliminated Fianna Fáil candidate Cillian Keane helped Fine Gael's Seán Kyne edge ahead of Independent Ireland's Noel Thomas in a tightly contested Galway West by-election. Simon Harris called the result a “victory for centrist politics,” but questions remain over why the right failed to benefit from transfers.Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency warns Ireland is set to fall significantly short of its 2030 emissions targets, with critics accusing the Government of sidelining climate ambition in favour of energy security.Plus, in RTÉ, new figures show €230,000 was spent on chauffeurs since 2021, raising fresh questions about spending culture and reform within the broadcaster.Guest Presenter Shane Coleman was joined by:James Geoghegan TD, Fine Gael Michael Collins TD, Independent Ireland John Lee, Executive Editor, Irish Daily Mail Sadhbh O'Neill, Climate Journalist Hosted on Acast.

Applications are now open for the September 2026 cohort of the Digital4Business Joint Professional Master's Degree in Advanced Digital Technologies for Business. For this intake, successful applicants will pay no tuition or registration fees, thanks to co-funding from the European Union and the Digital4Business consortium. The programme gives learners the opportunity to complete a fully online, internationally accredited Master's designed around the digital skills businesses need most, including artificial intelligence, data science, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and digital transformation. Digital4Business has a strong Irish connection. National College of Ireland is one of the four higher education institutions delivering the programme, alongside Linköping University in Sweden, NOVA IMS in Portugal, and the University of Bologna in Italy. NCI is also overseeing the validation and accreditation of programmes, while Professor Horacio González-Vélez of NCI is the overall Digital4Business coordinator. Irish organisations Skillnet Ireland and Digital Technology Skills are also members of the consortium. Apply now for Digital4Business online master's The project was originally launched at National College of Ireland, with Irish Government representatives welcoming the initiative and its role in developing advanced digital skills for Europe's workforce. At the launch, then Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris, addressed the event by video message, welcoming the collaboration of higher education institutions, research centres, training providers and industry partners. "We are always stronger together, especially when we harness pan-European cooperation," he said. Dara Calleary, then Minister of State for Trade Promotion and Digital Transformation, also attended the launch at NCI and highlighted the importance of digital technologies for Ireland's economic progress and talent development. Study built around real life Digital4Business has been designed for recent graduates, managers, and ambitious professionals who want to build advanced digital skills without stepping away from work. While the programme follows a full-time structure, classes take place in the evening, making it a realistic option for people balancing full-time jobs, family life, and other commitments. Learners complete a 60 ECTS Master's over two semesters in one academic year, fully online. Career support built into the programme Alongside academic delivery, Digital4Business places a strong focus on community, career progression, and practical support. Students have access to employability webinars, one-to-one coaching, mentoring, peer exchange, and career-focused sessions covering CV development, networking, interview performance, communication, and leading through digital change. Wider support also includes industry engagement, work-based learning, and networking opportunities, helping students feel connected to both peers and the professional world. Student experience Current student Grace Rubinger said: "Balancing the programme with work and family life takes structure and consistency. I usually watch lectures twice a week and set aside additional time for readings and assignments. That steady rhythm helps me stay engaged without becoming overwhelmed." Current student Luis Pereira said: "Between the introductions and discussions, you quickly realise everyone comes from different backgrounds but is dealing with the same challenge of balancing work, life, and study. That shared experience makes it feel more like a group than studying alone." Supporting strategic digital careers The combination of academic learning, practical application, and career support is central to Digital4Business. The programme was developed to help learners build technical knowledge, confidence, and the strategic perspective needed to apply digital technologies in real business contexts. For graduates, professionals, and managers lo...

It's time once again for the annual Summer Movie Wager! Our friends Peter Sciretta, BJ Colangelo, and Germain Lussier return to the show to stake their claims along with the Filmcast crew, on this summer's box office. Come back at summer's end to find out who will take the prize as the winner of the 2026 wager. You can play along at thesummermoviewager.com. To be considered for the leaderboard, you must enter by April 29, 2026We're making video versions of our reviews! Be sure to follow us on the following platforms: YouTube Tiktok Instagram Threads The Summer Movie Wager is a game that we play during the summer of each year. You can find the history of the game and play along at thesummermoviewager.com (thanks to Dennis for putting that site together). The general goal of this game is to predict the highest grossing films of the summer in terms of domestic box office, in the correct order. The closer you get to the final ranked order, the more points you get. This year, the summer movie wager will begin on April 30, 2026 (with the release of The Devil Wears Prada 2) and last through September 7, 2026, Labor Day, as usual. Each of your 13 picks (10 movies and 3 dark horses) gets a single score assigned to it by using the following rules: -If your picked movie for #1 OR #10 is correct, you score 13 points for it. -If your picked movie for 2-9 is correct, you score 10 points for it. -If your picked movie is only 1 spot away from its actual placement, you score 7 points for it. -If your picked movie is only 2 spots away from its actual placement, you score 5 points for it. -If your picked movie is placed inside the Top 10, you score 3 points for it. -If your picked movie is not placed inside the Top 10, you score 0 points for it. -For each of your picked dark horses placed inside the Top 10, you score 1 point. If two or more rules apply to a single pick, only that single rule will be applied which assigns the highest point value to that pick. For example: If your pick for #1 is correct, you don't get 16 points for it because it is #1 and because it placed inside the Top 10; instead you only get 13 points for it.Germain's Top 101.

The Government is being urged to pay contractors directly to increase energy retrofits in Clare. It comes as Tánaiste Simon Harris has instructed senior officials to draw up plans to help households struggling with soaring gas and electricity bills. It's understood the measures will include one-off payments for heat pumps and electric vehicles. Ennis Environmental Action Spokesperson Bridget Ginnity believes there are simpler and more cost effective solutions.
Today we're looking at the Government's Spring Economic Statement and asking a simple question: has the “rainy day” already arrived—and if so, is enough being done for the so-called squeezed middle? Ministers, led by Simon Harris and Jack Chambers, are warning of global uncertainty, rising energy costs linked to conflict in the Middle East, and even the risk of stagflation. Yet at the same time, the message from Government is that the economy will keep growing—and that budget surpluses remain essential to protect Ireland's finances. But with households and businesses already feeling the pressure, is that the right balance? To discuss this more, Alan Morrissey was joined by Bodyke Fine Gael Td Joe Cooney and Sinn Féin Cllr. Tommy Guilfoyle. Image © Money in a glass jar by Felicia Manolache's Images via Canva

More details have emerged about the Minister for Finance's new savings and investment idea which aims to unlock some of the €170bn Irish people are estimated to have on deposit and encourage them to become stock market investors instead.Simon Harris first floated the idea of a Government-endorsed savings plan in February but the details were sparse.The idea is now clearer, though the fine print has yet to be thought through and is likely to be announced around budget time in the autumn.The new Irish scheme will follow the popular Swedish one which sees people putting their savings into an ISK and paying a flat tax – currently about 1 per cent monthly – on their investment over a certain tax-free threshold.Investment products currently available in Ireland have a complex tax system based on capital gains.So is it a good idea? And will risk-averse Irish consumers who prefer to keep their cash at the ready be prepared to become investors?Irish Times economics columnist Cliff Taylor explains – and gives his view on the idea's likely success.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

April Fool's Day last week saw its fair share of joke headlines and social media pranks. However, some practical jokes have been criticised as being in poor taste. Most notably, an offensive joke social media post from the Wicklow GAA has been condemned by TD Jennifer Whitmore and Tánaiste Simon Harris.With all this in mind, Terry Prone, Columnist with the Irish Examiner, joins Seán to discuss when pranks go too far…
The Government's gone full wellness mode, with a brand-new sauna (and a very pricey plunge pool) installed at Leinster House — and Gift Grub has the exclusive.Micheál Martin and Simon Harris sweat it out “on behalf of the Irish people”, while Willie, Mary-Lou and Leo Varadkar make steamy guest appearances.

An méid a bhi le rá ag an Tánaiste Simon Harris le páirtí pairliminteach Fhine Gael inné.
The first question on everyones lips when we talk about a United Ireland is money. How much will it cost us and how will we pay for it? To give us an overview of what the economics of unity might look like we sit down with Stephen Kinsella Professor of Economics at the University of Limerick and member of the Irish Government's AI Advisory Council and an Economic Advisor to the Tánaiste, Simon Harris. In October 2025 BBC NI published a podcast series, Borderland, that tackled the question of Irish unity. While the series explored both sides of the argument on the question of unity, there was one clear agreement. It's time for the south to seriously engage with the Northern question if there is to be any real debate on the possibility of a united Ireland. Notre Dame University are also running a major research project investigating the constitutional future of Ireland called ARINS (Analysing and Researching Ireland North and South) that probs these questions. This limited series in an answer to this work and looks to further the conversation amongst ordinary young people in the south. Shockingly, only 22% of southerners have made repeat trips north of the border so what do we really know about life in the North? What would a United Ireland look like? Is it something we really want? What does a modern Ireland for all look like? What are the concessions we would have to make and can we make them? This series looks to engage with the question of the North beyond the romantic notions ask practical questions of the south. How do we go about building a united Ireland for all?

Ellen Coyne and Cormac McQuinn join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· In the Dáil on Wednesday, Taoiseach Micheál Martin issued an apology on behalf of the State to survivors of abuse in industrial and reformatory schools. Nobody doubts the sincerity of such apologies, but given the number of them over the years, perhaps their rhetoric should be matched with the practicalities and supports survivors need.· With the Residential Tenancies Bill comes into effect from March 1st, Sinn Féin finance spokesman Pearse Doherty was accused of “scaremongering and misinformation” by Tánaiste Simon Harris in the Dáil on Thursday. Doherty pointed to research carried out by I-Res Reit, the State's largest corporate landlord, which suggested a potential increase in rent returns of up to 25 per cent resulting from the new rent rules. The new rules are designed to attract new investors into the rental property sector, and what could be more attractive than charging higher rents?· The glacial speed at which vital infrastructure projects such as the Greater Dublin Drainage Project are delivered here could be accelerated by the establishment of a new Infrastructure Regulatory Simplification Unit in Minister for Public Expenditure and Infrastructure Jack Chambers's department.· And the upcoming byelections in Dublin Central and Galway West, with seats vacated by Paschal Donohoe and Catherine Connolly respectively, are looking increasingly hard to call.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?
