Listen "#459 Are Young People Right To Leave Ireland"
Episode Synopsis
In this explosive episode of The Open Line with Niall, we dive deep into the reaction to Niall’s viral tweet from the day before:"I’ve reached the point where I’m done worrying about young people leaving this country. In fact, I’d urge them to get out while they still can because if they stay, they’ll end up homeless, broke, and stuck in a system that offers them nothing. No hope, no future, just empty promises from the same useless governments now and in the years ahead."The tweet struck a chord—and a nerve.Tonight, callers from all over Ireland join the conversation live with passionate, divided opinions:🔹 Some agree completely, saying Ireland has failed its younger generations with sky-high rents, stagnant wages, and political complacency.🔹 Others argue there's still hope—that leaving should be a choice, not a resignation.🔹 A few defend the country, accusing Niall of being overly negative and stirring despair.🔹 And several young people share emotional stories of struggling to survive while dreaming of a life abroad.Is Niall right to urge young people to leave? Or is there still something worth fighting for in Ireland?This is one of the most raw, emotional, and honest discussions we’ve had yet.Tune in now—and decide for yourself.
