This week Ivan discussed the huge outpouring of grief expressed across the globe in relation to the fire that engulfed Notre Dame on Monday.

Professor Brendan Kelly spoke about how we identify with buildings, so much so it seems that overnight hundreds of millions of euro has been raised for the effort to rebuild Notre Dame, with François-Henri Pinault CEO of the luxury group Kering pledging €100 million to the reconstruction.

But is this a show of generosity or just money that could be better spent? Richard Boyd Barrett People Before Profit TD for Dun Laoghaire and Senator Marie-Louise O’Donnell joined Ivan to share their thoughts.
