Kevin shares stories from across Ireland, beginning with the shocking case of two Dublin taxi drivers fined for refusing to take a visually‑impaired couple with their guide dog. He highlights an upcoming Westminster debate featuring Sinn Féin, the SNP and Welsh nationalists on whether the United Kingdom is still functioning for its member nations. Kevin also reports on Ryanair’s placement among the world’s worst‑rated airlines, strong polling support in Ireland for a ban on fox hunting, and growing frustration over severe pothole damage across the country. Other stories include widespread support for a Limerick bus driver sacked after confronting a thief, criticism of Donald Trump by the Ancient Order of Hibernians over a racist social‑media post, and reflections on Irish‑American prejudice. Kevin closes with commentary on Ireland’s stormy weather, changing global politics, and a note about an Irish concert he recently enjoyed.
