Navigating the Challenges of Far-Right Candidacy in Dublin North West

Social affairs correspondent Kitty Holland and Jack Horgan-Jones join Hugh for our latest election podcast:

• Kitty interviewed independent candidate for Dublin North West and city councillor Gavin Pepper, who insists he's neither far right nor anti-immigrant. Rather, he is against "illegal immigration". But the slogan "Ireland is full" is open to interpretation. What do Pepper's supporters really want from him or other candidates with his views - and does Pepper have a chance of winning a seat?

• Taoiseach Simon Harris told this podcast that he wasn't open to the idea of a coalition involving an multi-party alliance, a possibility suggested by Labour and the Greens. Today Labour and also the Social Democrats hit out at Harris over the remarks.

• Independent candidates as a group have been the most clear winners in recent polls. Jack went canvassing with one of them.
