The weather is lousy and everyone's wrecked, so perhaps a bit of agro is to be expected. Sparks are flying on the campaign trail. Claims and counterclaims on what was or wasn't in which manifesto. As the final week approaches, the shortest campaign in memory feels likes its been underway a long time. All eyes on Saturday's opinion polls...

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.

Sneachta & thermals, squabbles & brickbats, as end nears

The RTÉ Politics team take on budget leaks and budget kites, and opposition party efforts to keep the Government under pressure to deliver even more.  Also a Seanad By-election, papering over coalition party rows, throwing out the boiler and  is it "wriggle room" or "wiggle room?"

The Dáil returns to a whistleblower storm and an attack on a TD

The Dáil's out for the summer but not before TDs approved a raft of legislation at the 11th hour, and historic abuse crimes  came centre stage in Leinster House once again.    Some work still to do for Ministers before their holidays as Cabinet meets next week with Aughinish, the budget and uncertainty over fuel prices all looming large.
