Pat Leahy and Ellen Coyne join Hugh Linehan to look back at the week in politics:

• Rent reform: the announcement of Minister for Housing James Browne’s plans to change the rules around rent pressure zones dominated the week. Will the Government’s gamble on investment pay off? And why was the rollout so haphazard?

• Adjustments to residential property tax received less attention but the changes also carry political risk.

• Israel’s attacks on Iran add further uncertainty to a fraught geopolitical moment.

• Anti-immigrant riots in Northern Ireland: was the violence exacerbated by political interventions?

Plus the panel pick their favourite Irish Times articles of the week, including a reflection on 1980s Ireland’s strange treatment of women, a critique of Irish media’s coverage of a controversial issue and how social media firms used the ‘like’ button to turbocharge their business models.
