Hugh Linehan is joined by Harry McGee and Cormac McQuinn to look back on the week in politics. They discuss the end of the Dáil term, the timing of the next general election (of course) and the Government’s outstanding legislative agenda.
In part two we hear some of Harry’s conversation with newly-elected leader of the Green Party, Roderic O’Gorman.
O’Gorman talks about his attitude to electoral pact with parties like Labour and the Social Democrats, the use of focus groups to hone his party’s message to voters and the abuse he has sometimes experienced in politics.
The panelists also look at the release of Tori Towey, the Irish woman detained in Dubai, and George Clooney’s intervention in the debate over Joe Biden’s fitness to run for reelection.
