Each week on The Women’s Podcast, the presenter Irish Times journalist Kathy Sheridan asks listeners a question. This week in Episode 6 her question is prompted by Conor Horgan’s documentary movie about Rory O’Neill/Panti Bliss called The Queen of Ireland which is released this week:

“We want to know who is your queen of Ireland and why does she deserve the crown?”

Lots of you got in touch and here are some of your responses:

Emer said she’d spend it on sweets. Sheridan, confessing to having a bumper bag of wine gums on the studio desk, approved this message. Ann got in touch by twitter and she said If I had an extra 100 euro “I’d bring one of my grandchildren for a very good meal once a month. I’m in my seventies and I think that would be a lovely use of the money.”

Sarah tweeted us to say that in all seriousness she’d spend it on Fancy Bras. “Very good use of the money I think,” said Sheridan. “As long as they’re not pink”.

One of the biggest fans of The Women’s Podcast, Ross O’Carroll-Kelly tweeted that he’d spend it on a woman, several women infact.

And Dr Niamh NicGhabhann emailed us thewomenspodcast@irishtimes.com : My answer to your weekly question - save for my deposit for a house. I’m not a big spender but finding it so hard to build up my savings for a deposit with all the extra charges and taxes.
