‘Hotbed of digital censorship’: MAGA’s war with Ireland over freedom of speech
26 June - 24 minsThe Trump administration has problems with Ireland’s regulation of what people see on social media and the internet more broadly.

'Whole system failure': Is Children's Health Ireland fit for purpose?
Welcome to Newstalk Daily, a brand-new podcast in which Ciara Doherty takes a deep dive into the stories that matter, bringing you richer insights, wider analysis and compelling voices. Up first – just what IS happening at Children’s Health Ireland, a key player in the provision of care to the nation’s sickest young people? Unnecessary operations, use of unapproved devices, resignations from the board, multiple apologies, talk of a ‘toxic work culture'... and the small matter of a still-unfinished, very expensive National Children’s Hospital. The bosses of CHI appeared before the Oireachtas Health Committee last week, where one TD with direct, personal experience of the problems claimed this ‘could be one of the biggest medical malpractices in the history of the state.’ Ciara Doherty and Seán Defoe gather in Newstalk Daily HQ to reflect on the issues at CHI and speculate about how Health Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill might respond. Presented by Ciara Doherty with guest Seán Defoe, group political correspondent with Bauer Media Audio Ireland. Get in touch with the team at any time by email to [email protected]
