With the treasonous Jason shamefully AWOL this week, Ben is left to heroically fend for himself with last minute help from Fatima on The Long Game podcast. On the agenda: the murder of Jamey Carney…

I think so, particularly given that the chief suspect, and I think is the only suspect at the moment, is still on the run.
Look, I think it's a little bit obvious at this stage that almost everyone with a phone will know who the person they're looking for is.
And like shout out to Mick O'Toole for telling us that this person, the person of interest is in fact an asylum seeker because, you know, I think that the Irish people have every right to know why a certain person is in their country.
And there's a broader issue there with the 2015, section 26 of the 2015 International Protection Act, which prohibits the publication of somebody's status as an asylum seeker.
So in effect, what happens is that every time somebody an asylum seeker is convicted of a criminal offense and somebody like me or somebody who works for the who writes for the irish times or ireland international wants to tell you that they basically have to choose whether they want to say the person's name or if the person is asylum seek is an asylum seeker if they do both they're actually breaking the law
And it's also kind of an absurdity that you would think that something like that is almost designed to... reduce the amount of information we have in the public square around this.
I mean, you know this better than I do, how there are so little stats available around issues like migrant crime that anybody claiming one way or the other, oh, this is a real phenomenon, oh no, it's made up, we can't possibly say that.
There's an information vacuum By design, because the CSO doesn't have those stats.
And so all the public are left to do is to draw inferences from many, many anecdotes that we could all observe in the papers.
And if people want to complain and say, oh, well, that's no way to draw conclusions about society.
If the government was to be able to pull up the figures and say, look, here it is on paper, surely that would end the discussion immediately.
Right, and then you have very, I think, disingenuous reporting from like Ellen Coyne in the Irish Times saying that the Women's Coalition on Immigration, that they were having these discussions on migrant crime based on no evidence, when there is evidence from our neighbours.
So then for the Irish Times, a paper of record, to write this huge article saying that these women these campaigners, there are politicians involved too, that they are simply, I don't know, they're simply like screaming into the wind that there's an over-representation of migrants in sexual crimes specifically is what that coalition wants to establish.
And we know that the now infamous Riyad Bouchaker is also a person from Algeria.
I think so, particularly given that the chief suspect, and I think is the only suspect at the moment, is still on the run.
