  • Summary

  • Host Hugh Linehan is joined by Pat Leahy and Cormac McQuinn to look back on the week in politics:


    · With the giveaway budget done, will this government conclude in time for an early general election? Timing is vital, but can the Coalition arrive at a consensus given their advanced preparation for an election campaign?


    · Sinn Féin’s difficulties are the Government’s opportunities with the Michael McMonagle scandal rumbling on, and now TD Patricia Ryan’s resignation from the party after hitting out at its leadership for “not listening” to members and TDs.


    · US actor and activist Mark Ruffalo was heavily critical of the Green Party in a social media post pointing to the Government’s planning legislation allowing for use of ‘strategic’ liquefied natural gas reserves.


    Plus, the panellists pick their favourite IT reads of the week:


    · Miriam Lord’s report from Mary O’Rourke’s funeral on Monday.

    · Trinity’s Berkeley Library is now the Eavan Boland library.

    · A twist in the Tory leadership race suits PM Keir Starmer.
