  • Áine O'Neill
    May 7 2025

    This week on MOTHCAST: Unvetted, we’re joined producer, and activist Áine O’Neill for a powerful and unfiltered conversation about one of the most controversial cultural moments of the year: Irish rap trio Kneecap’s explosive performance at Coachella.

    Fresh from a 12-day visit to Palestine, Áine shares what she witnessed on the ground, why she speaks out for Palestinian rights, the backlash to Kneecap’s pro-Palestinian message and how once she started to see society for what it is, she had to look at changing everything.

    We also dig into Taoiseach Micheál Martin’s public demand for Kneecap to clarify their position on Hamas and Hezbollah — and why media outlets in Ireland should clarify where their loyalties lie.

  • Solicitor Caoimhe Haughey
    May 6 2025

    “The Grace Case, All Over Again?”


    This episode featurs a powerful and urgent conversation that echoes one of Ireland’s most harrowing scandals — the Grace case.

    Philip O'Connor speaks exclusively to solicitor Caoimhe Haughey, who represents Caitlin Hassan, a young autistic woman who alleges she was raped while in State-funded care.

    Senator Tom Clonan has called this “the Grace case happening again – in real time.”

    In this episode:

    • Are the HSE repeating the same catastrophic mistakes?
    • Why were red flags ignored?
    • What justice is possible for Caitlin and her mother Louise?


    This is a story about safeguarding, systemic failure, and the right to be believed.

    In this episode of MOTHCAST – Unvetted, MOTH News chief reporter Philip O’Connor sits down with People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy for a wide-ranging and unfiltered conversation.

    Can the current opposition parties really form the next Irish government? What role does Michael Lowry still play in shaping outcomes? Is protest still a powerful tool for change, or has it been neutralised? Paul and Philip also dive into the triple lock on military deployments, Ireland’s neutrality, and ask the big question—are the days of the establishment parties numbered?
