A new study has shown that a lack of places to socialise and a growing mental health crisis are two of the biggest issues impacting young people in Ireland today. Considering these findings, Spunout is urging the Government to prioritise young people in their Budget 2026, by developing hubs around the country for young people to meet in person, and more funding for youth mental health services, along with a list of other asks, which they are looking for the Government to deliver on. Adrianne is joined here by Jack Eustace, Governance and Policy Manager at Spunout to discuss these stark findings and their ideas for making Ireland a healthier place to live in. For information and support go to www.spunout.ie or Text ‘Hello’ to 50808 if you need to talk.

The situation in Gaza is at crisis point. People are starving and despite claims by Israeli authorities that there is no limit on humanitarian aid entering Gaza, most major international NGOs - including Oxfam Ireland - have been unable to deliver a single truck of lifesaving supplies since 2 March. CEO of Oxfam Ireland, Jim Clarken speaks here with Adrianne to discuss this dire situation and what we the public might do to help put pressure on the powers that be to either cease trade with Israel or to negotiate a lifting of this ban. There is also a good news story too, of a huge donation by Irish company Kukoon who promised Oxfam to donate their takings for one day and the public came out in force to buy on that day, collecting over €205,000 which will go directly to Oxfam’s work on the ground trucking water, building water infrastructure, providing sanitation and health services to the people of Gaza.

There has been a Gay Pride parade in Dublin since 1994. This parade is now known as the Dublin Pride because Pride parades now take place at various times of the year in many towns around the country. They are celebrations of the LGBTQ+ community, but everyone is welcome to the party and here in Roscommon it is not just a parade but a whole weekend of fun activities for all the family. The second Roscommon Pride’s LGBTQ+ festival takes place from 22-24 August, and it promises to be a jam-packed line up of events. Organisers William & Barry joined Adrianne in the studio for a chat and to tell us what’s in store for the weekend.

They rely entirely on public support.
