This is when it starts to get interesting. The numbers don’t suit anybody, but the majority know that they don’t want a government of Fianna Gael. So this calls for a putting aside of small differences and coming to the people with a vision for a better country. We also talk about just how historically bad a performance this was […]
Rory, Martin and Tony discuss where the numbers are and what the permutations of the next government might be. We don’t agree on much, but we do agree that the train is ready to leave the station and that if Labour, the Green’s, PBP and the Soc Dems aren’t ready to jump on board it would be a colossal mistake.

This is a humongous day. If anything the Exit Poll underestimated the Broad Left Vote and while FF/FG might end up with more seats than SF, the Broad Left is the real winner. Don’t buy the narrative of “the people want change, but they don’t know what change they want”. That’s nonsense. The people have said they no longer want […]

Then we talk about defeating Project Fear with Project Hope. Finally, we are joined again on the line by Vice Deputy Leader of the Socialist Party in Portugal, Joao Pina, […]
In our second podcast of the day we talk about why the teacher’s strike, the early childhood educators march and a bed beside a toilet for €425 per week are all related. This is the election where we say we enough. Equal pay for equal work, pay people a living wage and make housing safe and affordable! Then we are […]
Change is scary, but not as scary as we’re been told it is. We discuss Project Fear and what you can do to get the vote out this Saturday, Project Hope! Then Associate Professor with the IE School of Global & Public Affairs at IE University in Madrid, Joe Haslam, joins us to talk about how a broad Left Unity […]
When your landlord serves you with an eviction notice, telling him that you bought into project fear and voted against a change won’t save you from being evicted. This election is about the here and now, the homelessness, housing climate crises. These are the fears which should really worry you, not that a choice between two shades of grey is […]
