Summary
Amasha Costa of the Irish Examiner joins Anton Savage to discuss the US live-streaming of a firing squad execution, a move she compares to dystopian fiction. The conversation shifts to Northern Ireland, where PSNI letters warn nationalist politicians about blocking the Garvahi Road, coinciding with a motion of no confidence against Michelle O’Neill. They also cover a study suggesting women are more likely to divorce after winning the lottery, and Deliveroo’s new policy to sack e-bike riders who exceed speed limits in the UK.
