Damo is raging after the courts ordered him to pay €740 a month (€170 a week) in maintenance for his two girls, aged 6 and 8 — even though he says his ex earns as much (if not more) and he has the kids every weekend.Adrian says the amount sounds fair… but Jeremy sparked war by insisting dads should be entitled to “receipts” to prove the money is actually being spent on the children. Adrian calls that insulting and completely none of the father’s business.Plus: another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway question at the end.

It’s the special weekend “Opinions Matter: Uncut” edition — and it’s as random as it gets as Adrian and Jeremy waffle while waiting for the live show to start.First up: is it rude or fair enough to ban people from eating in your car… especially when Jeremy eats like the Cookie Monster!! Then the lads derail into “strings to your bow”, DJ gigs, wearing Under Armour is for people in council estates....and Jeremy admits he only learned what “redacted” means because of the Epstein files.And just when the sad music comes out for a “diagnosis”… it turns out the real tragedy is bowling alleys (or are they?).

This Opinions Matter Episode is like the Jeremy Kyle Show! A woman came on air to defend her extra marital affair that broke up a family...and was then upstaged by a man who's shagging his team-mates wife!!Plus: travel mug winners, and the next giveaway question at the end.

A public sector worker is facing disciplinary action for refusing to use a new colleague’s they/them pronouns — and Jay says it’s “bullshit” and a “disgrace”. Adrian and Jeremy ask: in a workplace, is it basic respect… or forced ideology? Live callers explode the lines. Some say they’d “lose my job first”, call it delusion and bad grammar, and even argue they wouldn’t hire someone who uses they/them. Others say work policies are about professionalism, not personal beliefs, and that it’s no different to respecting a name. Plus: another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway question at the end.

Social housing tenants in a brand-new Dublin 8 apartment complex say they’re being treated like second-class residents — because they’re blocked from the gym, sauna, cinema room and other “communal” amenities… while private renters paying up to €3,500 a month get full access.Adrian says it’s nobody’s business what a council tenants pay and that this is pure segregation. Jeremy says “you pay for what you get” and calls the complaints pure entitlement.Plus: a travel mug winner, and another mug giveaway question at the end.

Four years on from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has Ireland’s welcome worn out? Adrian and Jeremy read a message from Andre, a Ukrainian dad who fought for six months, now runs a coffee shop here, pays tax, and says the online “go home” abuse is getting worse.Live callers are split: some say “keep the workers, send the rest back”, others argue refugees are being scapegoated while the housing crisis rages on. From ARP payments and “entitlement” claims to PTSD, jobs, and whether people should be forced home when the war ends — the debate gets heated fast.Plus: another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway at the end of the episode

A SPAR shop in Cabra has had enough — staff say they’ve been racially abused, sprayed with drinks, and even had eggs thrown at them, and they’re begging parents to find out where their kids are at night. But the debate goes up a notch when we hear from “Des”, a Dublin 24 shop manager who posted CCTV-style photos of kids he says were robbing his shop… and then had furious parents at his door threatening to sue. So what’s the answer when Gardaí “won’t” (or can’t) act? Name and shame minors online… or is that completely out of order, no matter what they’re doing? Live callers don’t hold back.

This weekend episode of Opinions Matter is a totally unedited bit of madness you don’t hear on the main show.Adrian, Jeremy and Katie go from debating the Angelus (how many “dongs” are there, and who even watches it?) to Jeremy’s very questionable altar-boy memories — bell ringing rules, “tabernacles”, trousers… and Father Thomas the drinker!!!!Then it’s onto Katie’s MRI horror story (claustrophobia, panic buttons and being told to stay still), the great coffee-mug row, and the weird reality of being recognised in “the normal shop”.Plus: lipstick marks on mugs, funeral “strangers”, and whether swearing in a eulogy is ever acceptable.

On this episode, a listener Slams "Braindead parents who are convinced that schools are trying to brainwash kids in LGBT Ideology"

A group of five Travellers say they were turned away from a Howth restaurant after booking a table – told their reservation was cancelled and “you’re not getting in tonight”. It raises a massive question: do pubs, bars and restaurants have the right to refuse anyone, anytime… or is that just discrimination dressed up as “management reserves the right”?We spoke to Kathleen, a Traveller in her 50s who says she’s been refused her whole life. Others in hospitality argue venues are wary because of past trouble.
