As the U.N. General Assembly wraps up, President Higgins’ recent comments have sparked controversy, raising questions about how far he has stretched the boundaries of his role. In this episode, we examine the evolving nature of the presidency and look ahead to next year’s election, discussing what the office could represent and the key challenges it faces.
Former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar emphasises that a united Ireland should be seen as an "objective" rather than merely an "aspiration" for the political establishment in the Republic. We take a closer look at Northern Ireland’s economy and explore the realities of what a united Ireland might entail. Meanwhile, new data on job churn reveals a decline, signalling relative stability in the Irish economy – a positive indicator of overall health.
