Aggression and abuse on the campaign trail for those running in local elections

  • Resumen

  • Hugh Linehan is joined by Cormac McQuinn and Jennifer Bray to discuss the week in politics:

    · The last fortnight has seen several incidents of councillors being verbally and physically attacked while out canvassing for the forthcoming local elections. A disturbing trend that hasn’t been a feature of previous elections.

    · The panel dig into what the Irish Times/Ipsos B&A poll results say about the volatility of public opinion right now.

    · And neither current First Minister of Northern Ireland, Michelle O’Neill, or former First Minister of Northern Ireland, Arlene Foster, came away from the UK Covid-19 inquiry unscathed.

    And the panel pick their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:

    · Ronan McGreevey writing 50 years on from the Dublin-Monaghan bombings.

    · Laura Kennedy does the arithmetic of emigration.


    · Stephen Collins writes of Micheál Martin’s political enemies postponing their big move.
