New hate speech laws are set to expand the categories of person protected in Irish law from incitement to hatred. The bill is likely to become law later this year, as it is currently being steered through the Oireachtas.
However some have raised concern about it - one of those people is Independent NUI Senator Ronan Mullan who joined Kieran today. Fine Gael Senator Barry Ward also joined us to share his view on the new bill.
We were also joined by Adam Long, Board Director of the National LGBT Federation.
