It's time for A Few Scoops - The podcast that has all the news you need, without the nasty side effect of existential dread. This week, Aoife explains why war bonds are bad, and why that matters for us, given the Irish connection to the Israeli bonds. We discuss the shocking incident with a gunman in Carlow over the weekend, and wonder what deeper questions should be asked about our bail laws in the aftermath.As disposable vapes are banned in the North, we consider the potential rise of vape smugglers who will prosper in the grey areas created by differing laws on either side of the border.Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary receives a €100 million bonus and we can't begrudge him, as much as we may want to, but do still hope he has to secure his windfall by navigating a maze within Ryanair's customer service.Colm wonders whether Mattress Mick's good name would be sullied by a presidential bid, and he teaches Aoife about the world of both Cork and sports, following Caoimhín Kelleher's recent big money transfer, which leaves his boyhood club of Ringmahon Rangers with a small fortune, as they're awarded a share of the fee.
