Hugh Linehan is joined by Harry McGee and Fiach Kelly to discuss everything and anything on the political agenda this week.

It includes pre-budget skirmishes between Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, President Michael D Higgins's noteworthy appearance at the ploughing festival, a potential Water Referendum, and the return to work of the members of Dáil Eireann after a long, damp summer.

On Sunday, the Inside Politics team will be recording a programme in front of a live audience at The Workman’s Club as part of the Dublin Podcast Festival.
