Episode 2301: The Richie Allen Show Monday October 12th 2026

For the past week, Clodagh De Róiste has been protesting peacefully outside the offices of Meath County Council in Ireland. Clodagh is disabled and is effectively homeless. When she cannot find a sofa to sleep on, she has to sleep in a tent. Before her health deteriorated, Clodagh ran marathons and was very active in her community. Amazingly, she has been waiting for an affordable home for twenty-five years. Why do local authority's prioritise the needs of migrants above the urgent needs of women like Clodagh? She's not bitter and does not blame or "other" the migrants. But the fact remains. She is forced to sleep rough while - in some cases - undocumented, able-bodied young men are placed in houses or apartments ahead of her. Clodagh shares her important story with Richie. Follow her on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/clodagh.deroiste
