Housing, housing, housing and Palestine. Anyone hoping to hear much said about anything else at this weekend’s Sinn Féin Ardfheis will have left Athlone disappointed.

Pat Leahy was there and he joins Hugh Linehan to discuss what happened at the conference, including the warm welcome given to Palestinian ambassador to Ireland, Dr Jilan Abdalmajid.

They also look at how party leader Mary Lou McDonald handled questions about members of her party taking legal action against journalists and media organisations.
