The new PAC chief alleges 'massive profiteering' in housing asylum seekers, and vows action. RTÉ's DG seems calm ahead of a tricky committee appearance. Pressure on Gov over Gaza rises, with demands to pass Occupied Territories Bill. And a TD no-show in the hard-won Other Members' Dáil time leaves the Govt red-faced.

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.
