The announcement that Eamon Ryan is stepping down as leader of the Greens means more political upheaval as the political system readies itself for a general election.

On today’s Inside Politics podcast Cormac McQuinn provides updates on the frontrunners to succeed him, including Minister for Children Roderic O’Gorman and Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine Pippa Hackett.

Also on the podcast: In Northern Ireland, voters will select their 18 Westminster MPs next month. Can the DUP hold onto its seats in the aftermath of the crisis surrounding Jeffrey Donaldson?

Mark Hennessy and Freya McClements look at what really matters to voters in these elections and whether the issue of Irish unity is on the radar.
