You will remember Kevin Myers as a columnist for the Sunday Times, before he was made infamous by his sacking over allegedly ‘anti-semitic’ remarks in his column.

Journalist and author Kevin Myers, an outspoken critic of how political correctness has been applied in society, he will be giving three new talks at Castlecoote House in Roscommon over the next 3 months.

The first of these is on the 26th of March, and it’s called the ‘Dictatorship of the Timid’ - linked to his own experience in losing his job with the Sunday Times, as well as his own opinions on political correctness in society and in the media and how it affects free speech.

Kevin joined Ivan on the show to talk about how political correctness is the new Fourth Reich.
