In today’s episode, Niall dives into the newly announced national budget — and it’s safe to say, not everyone’s impressed. Listeners call in to share their frustrations about a government that seems out of touch with the financial pressures faced by ordinary families.

Joining the conversation is Peadar Tóibín, leader of Aontú, who argues that the budget fails to tackle the cost-of-living crisis, with no widening of tax bands, no meaningful tax reductions, and minimal welfare increases that won’t ease the squeeze on struggling households.

Together, Niall, Peadar, and the callers explore a growing sense that the political system has gone stagnant, that real change feels impossible, and that the gap between government and the average citizen has never felt wider.

Tune in for a frank, passionate, and thought-provoking discussion on where Ireland’s priorities really lie — and what it would take to build a fairer future for working families.
