Sarah Burns and Pat Leahy join Hugh to discuss the day’s politics on the campaign trail:
- Today saw party leaders give their views on the behaviour of Fine Gael candidate for Louth John McGahon, who was acquitted of assault in 2022. Is he now a problem candidate for the party?
- Labour’s weekend manifesto launch revealed a big commitment to expanded state intervention in housing construction.
- The Social Democrats likewise have ambitious plans for housing, also announced at the weekend. Are differing approaches to housing becoming the major policy fault line in this campaign?
