At 29, [Noel Rock] is Fine Gael's youngest TD, and one of the youngest in the Dáil. He represents Dublin North West, and we're particular fans of his in the District office because he's taking a stand against ticket touting in Ireland. Through passing a private member's bill, he aims to make above-price ticket reselling a criminal offence, which means fans will be able to access tickets when touts can't profit from them, and there'll be no more paying out the nose for gigs. Here, Adam Heaton chats with him about his background, the contents of the bill itself, and some of the reasons Noel is so against ticket touting. Hosted on Acast.

Irish hip hop wouldn't exist at the level it is today without Lethal Dialect. Any fan of the genre in this country should be aware of his legacy and the influence he has had on today's sound.He recently took to Twitter saying "the bravado, the misogyny and the alpha male bullshit that accompanied the LD moniker was to be swiftly dropped", citing influences from Rubberbandits, Damien Dempsey, Tara Flynn, Una Mulally and the passing of a friend to suicide as the catalyst.In this podcast Eric Davidson and Paul go into detail about removing the mask, feminism, where he stands now as an artist and setting an example for kids who could be in the same position he was.This is District Conversations.
