Navigating Coalition Politics: Lessons from Past Governments

Pat Leahy and Cormac McQuinn join Hugh to discuss the day's political action from the campaign:

• As discussed in this morning's regular podcast, there is growing uncertainty over Ireland's economic model thanks to the reelection of Donald Trump. At a Cabinet meeting this morning, there were warnings over what the future could hold.

• Sinn Féin's manifesto included the suggestion that RTÉ's coverage of Gaza and other international conflicts should be subjected to a "peer review" of its editorial standards. But where is the idea coming from?

• Yesterday's podcast featured discussion of Labour leader Ivana Bacik's plan to negotiate with the big parties on government formation only in conjunction with other small parties of the left. Labour got in touch with the podcast about the item to take issue with something Hugh said...

• Green leader Roderic O'Gorman provided a cutting response when asked why voters should pick his party over Labour.
