Why does Ireland's presidential race still have no one at the starting line?
Jack Horgan-Jones and Harry McGee join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:
The drive to inject some impetus into the
Irish presidential race
has not yielded anything of note just yet with the starter pistol not expected to sound until
Fianna Fáil
,
Fine Gael
and
Sinn Féin
nominate their candidates.
The Coalition remains divided over Minister for Further and Higher Education James Lawless's recent assertion that the student contribution could increase by as much as
€1,000 next year for third-level students
.
The pause on
Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs
is almost up – is there a plan in place to keep
Ireland's pain to a minimum
?
Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:
The
puffins of Rathlin Island
, the
digital revolution
that didn't turn out as expected, and how
the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez
destroyed quiet luxury.
