Jack Horgan-Jones and Pat Leahy join Hugh Linehan to talk about the week in politics:
- A letter from Minister Roderic O'Gorman to cabinet colleagues asking for help in securing “sports centres… conference facilities, arts centres, student leisure centres [and] any other large buildings that are deemed safe” in order to house refugees shows just how bad this crisis has become.
- The Government is increasingly worried about the protests against the housing of refugees and asylum seekers around the country.
- A report this week that a deal between the UK and the EU over the Northern Ireland protocol was done turned out to be premature - but a deal may be imminent.
- The story about a legal strategy to discourage claims against the state by citizens overcharged for nursing home care shows again how the system favours the well-resourced when disputes arise
