About this listen

Are proposed changes to Ireland’s asylum and immigration laws fair – or too harsh? Guest presenter John Lee is joined by Fine Gael TD Joe Neville, Aontú TD Peadar Tóibín and Irish Examiner Political Correspondent Louise Burne to debate the Government’s reform plans and what they mean in practice.

The focus then shifts to international tensions as Donald Trump ramps up pressure on Greenland, insisting only the US can protect the territory. Danish and Greenlandic ministers have held talks with Vice-President JD Vance, but the meeting ended after less than an hour. Fianna Fáil MEP Barry Andrews, newly appointed European Parliament rapporteur for EU–Greenland relations, joins the panel to discuss what happens next.

And from Washington, Niall Stanage, Associate Editor of The Hill, brings the latest on Trump’s claims that the US may have stepped back from military action against Iran.
