Former Taoiseach and EU Ambassador to the United States John Bruton joined Jarlath this week to talk about his career in politics which spans five decades. John discusses losing confidence in his own caution, how prosperity causes people to think they don’t need stable politics, his preference for decisions made by politicians rather than expert groups and why he believes cynicism is the ultimate mask for mental laziness.
This conversation also sees John explain in detail his controversial opinions on the Easter Rising commemorations and the mistakes he feels those who occupied the GPO in 1916 made at the expense of peace. From his backing of the water charges to explaining the unworthy actions of the UK government this episode gives a fascinating insight into the mind of the man who laid the foundations for the prosperity that became known as the Celtic Tiger.

It has been two years since Ciarán last spoke to Jarlath on the show and a lot has happened for the Cork athlete. This week Ciarán speaks to Jarlath about his battle with a serious rehabilitation process following on from a career saving operation and the recent promising signs from his almost record-breaking form which should see him compete for Ireland in the Rio Olympics later this year.
Ciarán speaks frankly about the problems in athletics, why he believes the best thing that could happen track and field would be its omission from the Olympics, why athletics is a product people can’t believe in and why he doesn’t blame Kenyan athletes for doping.
