J
33:23John McGuirkHOST
And do you know why? Because coming back to the theme I mentioned a little while ago, the Irish politician is incapable of actually solving a problem with the resources of the state.

J
33:44John McGuirkHOST
That's it.
J
33:45John McGuirkHOST

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.
N
6:41Nicola TallantGUEST
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.
