Episode 2076: The Richie Allen Show Wednesday May 28th 2025

Richie is joined by Stuart Waiton and Mark Brady. Almost half of white men are self-censoring at work for fear of causing offence, a poll has found. Research by JL Partners also found almost a quarter of them (23 per cent) believe they experience discrimination because of their race and gender. Some 41 per cent said they worried they would be sacked if they said the wrong thing, while a third (34 per cent) believed white men were the least valued employees in their workplace. To discuss this and more, Richie is joined by the author, journalist and academic, Stuart Waiton.

In hour two Richie discusses an issue that’s sparking growing debate across Ireland—how the country is handling migration and, more specifically, the impact of housing International Protection applicants in towns and rural communities.

From vacant hotels to shuttered recreation centres, there’s a sense among many locals that their towns are changing—and not always for the better. Property owners are profiting, rental markets are tightening, and questions are mounting about transparency, fairness, and long-term planning.

One such place feeling the strain is Carrickmacross, in County Monaghan. To discuss this, Richie is joined by Mark Brady a local resident who’s seen the changes up close. He shares what life is like on the ground, and why so many people in his town—and others—are speaking out.
