Show Notes

Harry McGee and Jack Horgan-Jones join Hugh to talk about today's news from the presidential campaign trail:


A concert in support of Catherine Connolly's campaign brought top musical artists and thousands of young people together in Dublin's Vicar Street on Monday night. The event also brought together Sinn Féin’s Mary Lou McDonald, the Social Democrats’ Holly CairnsPaul Murphy of People Before Profit-Solidarity and Labour’s Ivana Bacik, who were photographed hand-in-hand on stage. Could the left's new-found unity be an image of the political future?


The panel also look at the ongoing fallout from 'the video' and ahead to tonight's RTÉ debate.
