TRSI 245 - Your campaign has the momentum of a runaway freight train

Bohemia glassworkers in the time of the Third Reich; the media has picked their candidate to win the DBS byelection; and a kind word for Malcolm Byrne as he calls China out. 

TRSI 244 - I've been a bad, bad newspaper

The mad kings of NPHET declare lockdown shall continue until they are satisfied with our tribute; and the Irish Times decides Viktor Orban is too extreme to let him talk to their readers, but the genocidal CCP are just right.

TRSI 243 - Enjoy the silence

NPHET seem to think bringing in antigen testing will cause the public to slather themselves in butter to fake tests; the IMF says our new climate bill will cost 200 billion over the next decade, and Labour want people to stop putting in planning objections.

TRSI 242 - It's not our fault

Polling and dark campaigns; latest polls show SF are the most popular party, but can they make that a reality; and if the government is doing a mighty job of protecting the aviation industry why did over 450 people just lose their job?

TRSI 241 - You must believe!

The lesser Mary is at it again; the Maya Forstater case and the respectability of the gender critical view; the intricacies of political polling; and alcohol consumption is going down, but also somehow staying at the same level.

TRSI 240 - Vote for our bastards, not theirs

In a year heavy with silly ideas an Irish NGO has gone for gold by saying it wants to give the government the power to remove candidates from elections if they say the wrong things; Ze Germans say they're coming for our EU Veto; and the lab leak theory makes a glorious return to respectable discourse.

TRSI 239 - Professor Theo Boer

We sat down with Dr Theo Boer, professor of Health Care Ethics at Groningen Theological University, to discuss euthanasia, assisted suicide, the cultural impact of euthanasia on the Netherlands, and the future of medical care in this area. 

Sunday Reflection 62 - Corpus Christi

Father Luuk Jansen, from St Mary’s Church in Cork, brings us his Sunday Reflection. This week he discusses Corpus Christi.

TRSI 237 - Consensus - real or imagined

The Citizens' Assembly goes off the rails; a Scottish feminist up in court for transphobic tweets shows Ireland how FG's hate speech bill will be used here; FF remain unable to do basic due diligence on their election candidates; and the Belarus situation has been resolved to everyone's satisfaction.

TRSI 237 - Simon Coveney lies back and thinks of China

Simon Coveney made some interesting comments when he recently went to meet the Foreign Minister of China; the ICCL has an interesting understanding of the phrase "100% independent"; and the state is now just giving 6 figure sums of money to anyone who asks.
