STOP PAYING YOUR TV LICENCE?

10 Reasons Ireland Is Asking Questions 📺 STOP PAYING YOUR TV LICENCE? 10 Reasons Ireland Is Asking Questions This week on MOTH News Live, we tackle one of the biggest questions facing Irish media. RTÉ says public service broadcasting needs sustainable funding—but after years of controversy, governance failures and declining licence fee income, has public confidence been lost? Keith Walsh presents 10 reasons why more people are questioning the future of the TV licence, while also asking the other side of the debate: if not the licence, how should Ireland fund public service broadcasting? Johnny Vedmore joins the discussion to compare Ireland's debate with the ongoing arguments surrounding the BBC licence fee in the UK. Also on this week's programme: 🔎 Jeffrey Epstein's Forgotten Irish Visit Johnny Vedmore examines Epstein's little-known visit to Dublin and Waterford in 1996 with Johnson & Johnson heiress Elizabeth Johnson. What do we actually know about the trip, and why has it received so little attention compared with later visits to Ireland? We'll separate established facts from unanswered questions. 🥊 Conor McGregor: One Last Fight? Following another injury and defeat inside the Octagon, Al asks whether Ireland's most famous MMA fighter should attempt one final comeback—or whether it's time to step away from the sport for good. We'll discuss McGregor's legacy, his recent controversies and whether fans still believe he can compete at the highest level. As always, we'll be looking beyond the headlines and asking the bigger questions. 📺 LIVE Friday 17 July | 11:00am 🎙️ Keith Walsh, Johnny Vedmore & Al ▶️ Watch live on YouTube @MOTH_NEWS 🎧 Catch up later wherever you get your podcasts.
