In my latest Podcast in the Magdalene Rose series, I explore the growing anger in our societies and how anger and failures have affected the Magdalene Community in Ireland and around the world.

Through this journey I examine injustice and the true nature of Human Rights.

For the Magdalene Community it has become a question of what should be done next. I explore one potential route which has major implications for Justice in Ireland, set against the backdrop of the growing expectation of a United Ireland. I invite the Magdalene Community to lead in a National conversation in creating a true Republic of Justice

In my latest Podcast, I explore information received from European Cabin Crew about a political campaign launched by an airline. I examine the way in which the campaign through a petition is constructed and the use of Consumer data. The moral of the story, whether you support such advances from any Commercial enterprise, is to make sure when you tick those Ts&Cs and Privacy Notice, that you only subscribe to receive information of your choosing!

In this latest broadcast, Frank Brehany brings his listeners up-to-date on what is happening about bringing clean air to those who work or travel on aircraft.

It's been a tumultuous few years, with conflict and the pandemic bringing fear and innovation to this great scientific challenge. Frank talks about the background to where we are now and how work, the debate about whether you can hold Corporations to account where death or injury occurs by referencing the work on 'Climate' Corporations, an important scientific development on causation (that is did that product, action or service cause you injury) and a real life case study of a flight fume event and a Passenger's Right to Know.

He finishes this overview by reflecting on the actions within this debate and where the future is heading!

In this latest production, Frank Brehany recalls an encounter some 5 years ago with a nun, which occurred outside of his search for his Grandmother's and Father's lives within the Mother and Baby Home and Magdalen Laundry system in Ireland.

This chance encounter revealed a shocking ignorance of the history of the Church and more importantly, an unwillingness to consider evidence with Church dogma trumping all.

Frank speaks to this encounter and measures it against his own experiences of seeking the truth from the Religious Orders in Ireland. The themes of dogma, spirituality and truth collide, challenging Frank's own spirituality, whilst making sure that he remains a consistent voice for his Dad, Grandmother and at the time of this encounter, his newly found Grandfather!

In my latest travel Podcast, I talk about my recent  experience of security checking at a UK Airport. I travelled during the recent school-half-term period and was witness to a controlled chaos though to some puzzling behaviours from Consumers. Toward the end of the Podcast, I offer my key tips on how to approach the summer of 2023, just to try and make your airport experience a little less stressful

In my latest Podcast of this series, I am conscious that the Mother and Baby Home Institutions Payment Scheme Bill, 2022, has now begun its journey through Seanad Éireann

I do not hold with a prevailing view that it is a hopeless situation as the Bill passes through the Seanad, but rather it is an opportunity. I have already submitted my own amendment proposals to the Senators in the hope that they will see the value of what I propose, to make it a consensual Bill, a better Bill for all those affected by these awful Institutions

I would hope that the Senators will accept my words and the good faith in which they are presented.

As The Dáil debates the final stages of the Redress Bill for Mother and Baby Homes, I examine the nature of Redress and how Government holds all the cards, both in its construction and narrative. I speak to policy and values and make a direct comparison to the values I have calculated for my Grandmother's work over 42 years. I also examine the nature of the forgotten dead and how this wider policy holds greater political dangers than is perhaps recognised at this time!

In the first Podcast in my Essential Consumer series, I talk about an unusual Consumer problem; the failure to receive your e-receipt. Not so much of a problem if your goods are all in good working order, but what if they're not? I take you through practical and legal steps on how to prove your transaction so that you can then exercise your Consumer Rights if you need to. I set out easy practical steps and guide you gently through the laws on Data and of Consumer Rights. As we now have digital as well as physical lives, it is just as well that we begin to think out our pathways toward solutions. My thanks to the BBC Hereford & Worcester Team for raising this unusual problem; I suspect we shall hear of more Consumers caught in the same conundrum!

In my latest Podcast from 'A Magdalene Rose' series, I come full circle in my discussion about the Irish Republic's Redress scheme for Mother and Baby Homes. I believe that at the heart of this scheme, not only does the scheme fail the living, but also of all those women and children who died before the State Apology at the beginning of 2021. The behaviour of the ruling parties was laid bare for all to see, which was contrasted by the passion and compassion of the opposition parties during the recent debate in the Oireachtas. Recent comments and decisions of the government provided a timely glimpse into the decision-making processes of the government which has greatly affected how this scheme was constructed. I take the listener back to the formation of the State and the inheritors of the actions of their political heroes. One thing is for certain, the government has completely kicked the can down the road in time for the next inheritors of their actions and decisions; and so Ireland's political impotence continues. It is clear that insofar as this Redress scheme for Mother and Baby Home Institutions are concerned, this is not the last word; all I hear are the determined voices of the living and the memories of those who have gone before us, who still cry out for Justice.

In my latest Podcast, I talk about my experiences of the last year, my writing A Magdalene Rose and what I hope to achieve, the Irish Political scene and how Government appears deaf to the voices of the many Victims and Survivors, past and present. I talk about my rich engagement with Survivors across the island of Ireland and through their words, their documentation and my family's documentation, I reveal the cruel prejudices of their lives. But I also take a critical but respectful look at the state of campaigning and its affect. I conclude by talking about the nature of Church and State and how the Survivor cohort can move forward along with my ultimate desire to see a Truth & Reconciliation Commission being delivered in the name of Transitional Justice because all I hear are determined voices!
