So what is going to change in terms of enforcement for them, for people who are annoyed at this?
John McGuirkHOST
33:23

John McGuirkHOST
33:33
So what's Aon's solution? It is to take something from the private sector, take everything that's good about it away and turn it into, turn it into a new version of the Ballymun flats.
John McGuirkHOST
33:44
That's it.
John McGuirkHOST

Nicola TallantGUEST

And he sits and looks at this packet of pills in his hand and and his mother's on the other end of the phone, and he's just having a moment that he feels he can't go on any longer.
Nicola TallantGUEST
6:41
And in that moment, you are spiraled all the way back to Ballymun, where he's a child in the towers, where things happen to him, and it follows him up to, you know, going into the witness protection, the life he had with Brian Kenny and all of that.
Nicola TallantGUEST
6:58
