Episode description

This week, we delve into a fascinating hypothetical for Ireland’s future: could Conor McGregor really be our next President in 2025? From the quaint leadership of Michael D. Higgins, to McGregor’s brash, larger-than-life personality, the shift would be nothing short of dramatic. But what does this say about modern Irish politics and the world we’re living in? As global politics continues to throw us curveballs, we’re not ruling anything out. Beyond the political theatre, we turn our focus to a more grounded topic—progress. Sean Keyes from Progress Ireland joins us to discuss how his think tank is dedicated to solving Ireland’s infrastructure challenges, tackling the country's underperformance despite its huge potential. How can Ireland overcome its stumbling blocks and unlock a future filled with opportunities? We look at the bigger picture of what it really means to move forward in an increasingly complex world. Tune in for a discussion that spans politics, progress, and everything in between.
