The Hard Shoulder

Why are the Irish we so flippant with the rules ?

Alcohol and drug use among e-scooter users, increased littering within Dublin city's inner city and a Donegal GAA club being forced to install CCTV to deal with dog fouling. This week, there have been a number of stories which seem to suggest that we have a blatant disregard for others. But what is driving the disrespect of our communities? Joining Kieran to discuss was Noel Cunningham, hotelier, and TV personality, author of Guide to Modern Irish Manners, Shane Coleman, Broadcaster and presenter of Newstalk Breakfast IDPTL, Patti Shields, Chairperson of Democrats Abroad.  Brendan Kelly Professor of Psychiatry, At Trinity College Dublin.
