John McGuirk is the founder & editor of Gript, Ireland's largest independent media outlet.
I have followed John for some time and always enjoy his independent analysis. Like most people whose work I enjoy reading, I often cannot predict John's opinions and will always have at the very least a new perspective on the chosen topic.
In this episode, we talk about:
- What to expect in Ireland in 2024
- Concerning issues and the government's handling of them
- NGOs in Ireland
- Hate speech laws
- Conor McGregor's potential political career
