You might be familiar with the Isle of Man TT which sees motorcycle racers compete on closed public two-lane country roads at speeds exceeding 300kph, making it one of, if not the, most dangerous motorcycle race in the world. One man who has been involved in these races for decades, albeit from the other side of the hedge, is Stephen Davison. He is a photographer, journalist, and author of a number of books on motorbike road racing, the latest of which being ‘The Dunlop Dynasty: The World’s Greatest Road Racing Family' - he joins Anton to reflect on 40 years covering the sport and the legacy of the Dunlop family.

Anton is joined by Paschal Donohoe, Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery & Reform. Together they discuss the aftermath of the Dublin city riots, the root causes of the unrest, the fast-tracking of facial recognition legislation & the release of Emily Hand by Hamas.
