In the last Leaders' Questions, the Opposition hammered the Govt as "feckless and reckless" for failing on cost-of-living supports. Sinn Féin suffered a supermarket malfunction in a noisy exchange. The Occupied Territories Bill faced intense scrutiny in heated committee hearings. And it's game on for Catherine Connolly in the race for the Áras.

The RTÉ team at Leinster House and guests have an informal discussion about what has been happening in the world of Irish politics. New episodes available every Thursday evening.
