Show Notes
Hugh is joined by Pat Leahy and Cormac McQuinn to look back on the week in politics:
- The conviction of former US president Donald Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to an alleged hush money payment to Stormy Daniels is unprecedented in American political history. But will it make any difference on election day?
- More evidence emerged this week that Ireland is failing to meet legally-binding climate change targets.
- Will a scandal that engulfed Fine Gael local election candidate Marian Agrios dent the party outside of Louth, or even her Drogheda constituency?
Plus, the panelists pick their favourite IT reads of the week:
- Our new columnist Mark O’Connell on why students keep schtum when asked why they are protesting.
- Revelations that the Irish State is in the pocket of Big Smoky Bacon.
- Ireland’s Chief Rabbi Yoni Wieder criticises President Higgins.
