he Tánaiste is leading tributes to former Minster of State and Clare TD Donal Carey, who passed away overnight, at the age of 88. The clarecastle native was first elected to Clare County Council in 1974 and served as a TD for the Clare constituency from 1982 to 2002, while he also served as a Senator for the Labour Panel from 1981 to 1982. In 1995, he was appointed by the Rainbow Government on the nomination of John Bruton as Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach with responsibility for western development and rural renewal and Minister of State at the Department of Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht with responsibility for the Gaeltacht, holding the posts until the change of government in 1997. His son Joe Carey was a Fine Gael TD for Clare from 2007 to 2024, while his daughter Leonora Carey ran for Fine Gael in last year's General Election. Fine Gael Leader, Tanaiste and Minster for Finance Simon Harris says Donal Carey's “legacy of service and his contribution to Irish public life and to the Fine Gael family will always be remembered”.

The lurch rightwards in our politics has brought a wave of disinformation and discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex people.As well as exacerbating prejudice, the anti-LGBTIQ+ campaigns, many supported by US evangelicals and Russian oligarchs, foment social divisions and aim to weaken liberal democracy. That's why the new era of bigotry should be seen as a strategic threat for Europe, former Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar explains in this episode. Leo is currently a Senior Fellow for the Global LGBTQI+ Human Rights Program at the Carr-Ryan Center for Human Rights at the Harvard Kennedy School. He stepped down as Taoiseach last year after serving two terms and making history as Ireland's first openly gay head of government.Among Leo's current concerns: how US diplomats and corporate executives who formerly supported LGBT rights have changed position or melted away, leaving regions like Central and Eastern Europe especially vulnerable."The fact that America is withdrawing from that space has left it open to Russia," says Leo. "That's where I think the European Union needs to come in and needs in many ways I think to fill the space of the Americans."A particular focus is Hungary, the EU state that is the subject of what Rémy Bonny, executive director of Forbidden Colours, calls the largest human rights lawsuit in the bloc's history.That lawsuit concerns a so-called child-protection law that censors inclusive sex education, equates LGBTI lifestyles with pedophilia, blocks adoption for LGBTI couples, and restricts content in media and advertising.A top advisor has already issued a preliminary finding against Hungary and the Court of Justice of the EU is expected to reach a verdict next year.A definitive ruling against Hungary "can't go without a meaningful response" from EU authorities, says Leo. "The treaties are worth nothing if that's the case."When it comes to EU politics, Leo encourages a return to centrist leadership rather than reliance by his political family, the center-right European People's Party, on the possibility of majorities with the far right."I much prefer us being in alliance with Liberals and Social Democrats and Greens."Leo also critiques fellow conservative Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, for saying "too little, too late" about homophobia in Hungary — and about Israel's conduct of the war in Gaza.Even so von der Leyen does "come around to the right position eventually, which is better than the reverse."As for Donald Trump, who Leo met several times as Taoiseach, the US president is taking a far more hostile approach to LGBT rights compared to his first term. Whether Trump actually leaves office after 2027 general could come down to the US military."It's a dangerous time."Asked whether he could have done more as Taoiseach to regulate the giant US tech companies that have bases in Ireland, Leo says he oversaw stepped up enforcement during his time in office. There was however a wider failure, where tech companies still are shielded from liability for the illegal and highly polarizing content hosted on their platforms."We allowed them to really get away with this idea that they're not publishers" and "that wasn't right," says Leo, who says he supports a crackdown on algorithms that amplify hate and toxicity.Support the show

At around midnight, the four survivors of industrial and reformatory schools ended their hunger strike.

Miriam Moriarty Owens spoke to Treasa Murphy this morning and confirmed that the protest was over following a meeting with the Taoiseach and Education Minister Helen McEntee.

A Clare based Lecturer has branded the Taoiseach's comments ahead of COP 30 as "nothing short of disgraceful." The thirtieth Conference of Parties is taking place in Belém, Brazil this week with 60 Irish delegates in attendance.

A Killarney listener wrote to Jerry about the local property tax, he wrote: “I don’t object to the idea of a property tax, but this tax in its present blunt form is totally immoral and unjust because it takes no account of personal circumstances or ability to pay. I hereby challenge the Taoiseach, the Tánaiste, or any government minister to come on your programme, or on any programme, and say that I am wrong.” Separately, Killarney Municipal District Budget meeting yesterday heard that due to the re-valuation of homes, it’s currently expected that there will be an additional €900,000 allocated to the council from the LPT. Cllr Niall Kelleher made some points about how this additional income should be used.

Perhaps they are now following the example of other European countries? · And Naomi O'Leary discusses the Dutch political scene with reports suggesting the centrist D66 party caused a big upset in Dutch elections this week.Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· Mary ‘Mae' McGee who successfully fought the ban on contraception in Ireland, and Newton Emerson on how Fine Gael's anti-British rhetoric came back to bite Heather Humphreys.

John Stack from Tarbert is Ireland’s youngest Thalidomide survivor and was in Dublin for yesterday’s meeting.         

Cháin an Taoiseach, Mícheál Martin, na hionsaithe Iosraelacha a Ghaza inar maríodh ós cionn 100 duine, 46 páiste ina measc, go géar. I ráiteas a eisíodh aréir, rinne an Taoiseach achainí go gcloífí leis an tsos comhraic agus go gcuirfí tuilleadh chúnamh dhaonnachtúil ar fáil do phobal Gaza.

Maurice Patton O’Connell is one of four survivors of industrial and reformatory schools, who have been on hunger strike for the last 40 days. The survivors met with the Taoiseach and Minister for Education on Wednesday.

A Clare homeless charity has branded comments by the Taoiseach on homelessness as "disappointing" and says they ignore the "deeply traumatic" effects of living in emergency accommodation. Micheál Martin has come under fire for claiming homelessness figures are "a bit like hospital waiting lists" in that "it's not the number on the waiting list; it's how fast you get treated". Focus Ireland has called the statement a "poor choice of words", saying "people go to hospitals because they are sick; they do not have to become homeless". Head of Policy and Communications at Novas, which operates a small family hub in Ennis, Una Burns, has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons regardless of how much time people spend with homeless services, the experience often leaves long-lasting wounds.

Thalidomide was prescribed to pregnant mothers in the 50s & 60s as an anti-morning sickness drug but was later pulled because of links to birth defects. Last year, Simon Harris announced an enhanced health package for survivors. For more on this Finola Cassidy spokesperson for the Irish Thalidomide Association who was part of that meeting.

Clare's Minister of State is not any expecting any sudden challenge to the Taoiseach's leadership. It's understood that 10 members of the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party have signed a document seeking a no confidence motion in Micheál Martin, where 12 are required. Party officials at Fianna Fáil have darwn up an alleged 'rebel' list of those who oppose the Taoiseach's reign, which includes TDs James O'Connor, Paudie O'Sullivan, Seamus McGrath, John Lahart, Erin McGreehan, John McGuinness and Peter Chap Cleere. There's a separate list detailing the "old guard" of Willie O'Dea, Pat 'The Cope' Gallagher and Seán O'Fearghail, who are not behind any heave, but would reportedly welcome change. The developments have been sparked by the Jim Gavin presidential debacle, and now many political analysts are touting Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan as the potential successor. However, Tulla based Minister Timmy Dooley can't see anyone stepping up in the current climate. Micheál Martin has been at the helm of Fianna Fáil for 14 years now, which is the joint second longest reign at the party, tied with Bertie Ahern and only beaten by Éamon De Valera who was in office for 33 years. Despite the controversey of recent weeks, Clare Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe insists that Martin's leadership is not in question and that he intends to lead the party into the next General Election.

The national planning body is said to be "flatly ignoring" passenger safety advice by allowing wind farms to be built close to flight radar in Clare. Meelick Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe has told the Taoiseach that in spite from advice from the Irish Aviation Authority, wind turbines are being granted planning permission in the vicinity of radar infrastructure. This, he says, distorts the signal of where the aircraft are and "jeopardises passenger safety". Speaking in the Dáil, Deputy Crowe says expert advice must be heeded.
