Our Friday wrap of the week returns with the start of the new political season. Jennifer Bray, Jack Horgan-Jones and Pat Leahy join Hugh to discuss the week in politics:
- What should we call the ugly scenes outside Dáil Éireann this week - and what sort of response should there be?
- As politicians gear up for a period with lots of elections, is Taoiseach Leo Varadkar creating friction with his coalition partners?
- The concerns of farmers were in focus at the Ploughing Championships this week - as was their dislike of the Greens.
Plus the panel nominate their favourite IT articles of the week, including:
- Justine McCarthy on a growing healthcare controversy
- Naomi O’Leary on Ireland’s risky exposure to the Chinese economy
- and Roísín Ingle’s paean to the joys of day-drinking.
