Europe gets serious on security. Will Ireland follow?

Hugh Linehan and guests discuss domestic political issues and European defence challenges.


In part one, Pat Leahy talks about the resolution of the Dáil speaking rights row and the damage it has done to the Government.


In part two, Jack Power joins from Brussels to discuss the EU's defence strategy in light of recent geopolitical shifts. They discuss Ireland's military neutrality, potential defence spending, and the EU's broader strategy against emerging threats. The conversation also touches on challenges facing the EU with the Trump administration's threat of tariffs and the upcoming German elections.
