Aggression and abuse on the campaign trail for those running in local elections
Manage episode 418721602 series 1985420
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.
