After hanging up his boots, Ireland rugby legend Conor Murray will chat to Patrick about his new autobiography Cloud Nine.

Former President of Ireland, Mary Robinson will join Patrick to discuss urgent global issues, including the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

She will share insights from her recent visit to the Gazan border and speak about the role of international leadership in what the UN World Health Organisation has declared a man-made famine.
