Oil Crisis: Trump v the Pope, a new blockade and the fallout of Irish protests

Another week begins, and with it another breakdown in talks as the Iran War rolls on. The US is enacting a fresh blockade of Iranian ports, while Donald Trump has hit out at a fresh opponent – Pope Leo XIV. Meanwhile, back on Irish soil, the fallout from last week’s fuel protests continues apace. Is the Government’s €505m fuel package enough to calm things down? And just how big a scar will the shutdown leave? 

Host: Fionnán Sheahan
