Jack Horgan-Jones and Jennifer Bray join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:

• Sinn Féin announced it would not send representatives to Washington for St Patrick’s Day, in protest over the proposed “mass expulsion of the Palestinian people from their homes and the permanent seizure of Palestinian lands”.

• Should the Government provide tax breaks for developers to encourage homebuilding? Within Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, there are opposing views.

• The speaking rights row is not over. Is there a solution?

Plus the panel pick their favourite Irish Times stories of the week.

And finally, an announcement.
