Kevin takes listeners through a wide range of stories from Ireland. He highlights the new high‑tech security scanners at Dublin Airport that eliminate liquid restrictions for carry‑on bags, Belfast City Council’s adoption of an Irish‑language policy, and the dismissal of a terrorism‑related charge against Kneecap member Mo Chara. Kevin also covers Barack Obama receiving the Freedom of Dublin, Ireland’s invitation to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for a state visit, and financial boosts from the NFL game held in Dublin. Other stories include the life and Irish roots of Angela Lansbury, the death of Joan Kennedy, new public‑transport companion passes for over‑70s, continuing legal action involving Kneecap, Ireland’s ranking as one of the world’s most generous nations, and insights from Northern Irish fashion designer Jonathan Anderson. Kevin closes the programme with a look at housing pressures affecting young people and a tragic family incident in County Louth.
