After yet another ECB rates rise, could we see the reintroduction of mortgage interest relief to take some pressure off homeowners? That was the first point of discussion on the Inside Politics podcast round-up this week.
The panel also gave their view on President Higgins’ recent speech at a reception for think tank Tasc, in which he condemned the "obsession” with achieving economic growth at the expense of "ecology and ethics".
There was also a noted lack of enthusiasm at the prospect of sitting through live coverage of King Charles the III’s coronation.
And the team talk about some of the best Irish Times content of the week, including:
Fintan O’Toole’s piece on the fanatical racism of John Mitchell
Jack Horgan-Jones’s account of Donald Trump’s Doonbeg visit
Pat Leahy writing about Ireland’s approach to relations with China
