A (non)Christmas Story
Episode 10
Tuesday, 9 December, 2025

Gather round the fire for a very different kind of Christmas story. In this special episode, we hand the microphone over to a weary Santa Claus to narrate the true, exhausted saga of the "Ironborn" site in Dublin.It isn't a story about toys or elves. It's a farce about:Three Judicial Reviews.Five planning applications in nine years.Millions of Euro spent.And absolutely zero homes built.Join St. Nick as he walks you through exactly why the Irish planning system is on the Naughty List this year.(Note: This episode features an AI-generated voice performance.
