Huw Edwards has been given a suspended sentence earlier today over accessing indecent images.

Enda Brady TRT World Presenter, joins Kieran to tell more - including how prison overcrowding played a part in the decision.

John Lonergan, Former Governor of Mountjoy doesn’t think so, and also joins Kieran to discuss.
