The Group Chat

Richard, Gavan and Zara catch back up again (from car parks across the land!) to chew the fat about the brewing fiscal war between Fine Gael and Sinn Féin. Is the national piggy bank really being smashed? What impact will the John McGahon controversy have? Is Fianna Fáil sailing pretty? And should we be paying more attention to Donald Trump's latest Cabinet pick? The Big Interview with Mary Lou McDonald airs at 10pm tonight (Wednesday) on Virgin Media One. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Richard, Gavan and Zara review this week's election campaign events and discuss how Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael's fighting may be an advantage for Sinn Féin. Donald Trump's cabinet picks are making waves, after RFK Jr. and Matt Gaetz receive top positions. And the group reflects on the life and work of D'Unbelievables star Jon Kenny. Hosted on Acast.

With Election 2024 finally underway, Richard, Zara and Gavan are on the road following the campaigns and talking to voters about what they want. Richard's witnessed some competitive jiving, Zara's been speaking to angry teachers, and Gav isn't sure if the war of words between Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil is all for show…  We're moving our TV instalment to Sundays at 7pm for the duration of the campaign, so be sure to tune in for more Group Chat this weekend! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Gavan and Zara are joined by Green Party leader Roderic O'Gorman in studio to discuss his handling of immigration and childcare and the difficulties he faces as party leader. And Richard joins in from the US to reflect on Donald Trump's historic re-election, how Kamala Harris' campaign failed to attract voters and what the result means for Ukraine. Hosted on Acast.

Mary Lou McDonald is in studio to discuss Sinn Féin's immigration policy, whether or not they will enter into a coalition and her biggest regrets over the course of her leadership. Richard, Gavan and Zara also debate the fallout of Trump's Madison Square Garden rally and Biden's newest gaffe. And Zara's move to Cork; how difficult is it to change your voting area?
