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.
