How To Gael

In the first episode of our new series, we’re sitting down with Taoiseach na hÉireann Micheál Martin to talk all things shared island, modern republicanism and asking if unity is realistic or romantic?

In October 2025 BBC NI published a podcast series, Borderland, that tackled the question of Irish unity. While the series explored both sides of the argument on the question of unity, there was one clear agreement. It’s time for the south to seriously engage with the Northern question if there is to be any real debate on the possibility of a united Ireland. Notre Dame University are also running a major research project investigating the constitutional future of Ireland called ARINS (Analysing and Researching Ireland North and South) that probs these questions.

 

This limited series in an answer to this work and looks to further the conversation amongst ordinary young people in the south. Shockingly, only 22% of southerners have made repeat trips north of the border so what do we really know about life in the North? What would a United Ireland look like? Is it something we really want? What does a modern Ireland for all look like? What are the concessions we would have to make and can we make them? This series looks to engage with the question of the North beyond the romantic notions ask practical questions of the south. How do we go about building a united Ireland for all?

Spreagtha ag Verona Farrell, nó @secondhandhuns ar Insta, tá Louise ag iarraidh all things chic a phlé. Ach cad is 'chic' ann? An féidir cur síos a dhéanamh air?

Tá díospóireacht againn faoi na rudaí atá chic agus not chic, dar linne, ar nós matching underwear (chic), espresso martinis (not chic BUT delish), and a red lip (hung jury). Doireann gets an awful touch for her wine fridge, argues for the chicness of iarthar Chorcaí, and somehow butchers the lyrics to TiK ToK le Kesha...

Bain sult as an eip agus bí i dteagmháil linn le hinsint dúinn cad iad na rudaí atá chic, i do thuairim féin!

Prepare for sweeping generalisations, questionable accents agus neart F-bombs sa séipéal... San eip seo, táimid ag labhairt faoi mhuintir na Fraince agus na nósanna atá acu.

Tá an bheirt againn i bPáras and after being shushed in cafés & given the tourist-tier blowdries, táimid buartha gur Emilys in Paris muid. Mar sin, we're trying our best to educate ourselves on all things chic, stylish & French. We can only apologise dár n-éisteoirí Francacha.
