Victim of Child Sexual Abuse Supports Controversial Grandparents Consent Advert

Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

About

A Dublin Rape Crisis Centre consent video about grandparents hugging their grandkids has been pulled after the Minister for Justice called it “inappropriate” and “demeaning”. But is the country overreacting, or is the message being completely missed?

Adrian and Jeremy tear into what the ad was really trying to say: consent isn’t just about sex — it’s about bodily autonomy and personal space, even with people who love you.

Then the calls get intense. A survivor of abuse explains why being able to say “no” at home matters, while others argue the ad went too far and unfairly painted grandparents as predators.
