If this is indeed what the "serious" pundits call "moving week", then Fine Gael are moving down at a rate of knots.

As the general election looms, one of the topics on everyone's lips will be housing. What's the plan? What kind of building is happening at the moment? What is the difference between shared living and co-living? Who is going to win Love Island? Joining Rachel in the studio to answer these questions and discuss why he adores Love Island, housing and…
The "debate" passed off in an uninspiring 0 - 0 draw and the only talking points were the Taoiseach's discomfort around his drug taking past and his comfort with his FG/FF coalition future.

It's always hard to imagine something that hasn't been done before. So while it's understandable that people are defending Virgin Media TV's (and RTE's) decision to hold a "leaders" debate, it is, in our opinion wrong. We discuss why this is not representative of the majority of the electorate and needlessly gives the historical parties of governme…
The latest opinion poll shows less than the margin of error separating Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Sinn Féin. While it's only a poll, the trend for FG is down and in a three week campaign that won't be easy to reverse. We discuss the FG "Left Wing" media bias claims, Labour's willingness to talk to other parties of the Left and the opportunity this …

Around 15 years ago, the idea of sending nudes was something that scandalised many people. As a woman, if your intimate pictures were leaked (even if it was through no fault of your own) often many people would blame you for taking the photos in the first place. In 2020, many of us have taken a different view with more and more people taking agency…

The British election has come and gone and has left us with many questions. Why did Laura Kuenssberg tweet out stories that were clearly untrue such as the claim that a Tory aide had been punched in the face?
