Is there no alternative to the status quo in Irish politics?
Manage episode 453612618 series 1985420
When it came to picking an alternative government, it felt to many like there was little real choice in the election just held. Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil always looked likely to return to government, with only the details to be ironed out. And so it proved.
So where does that leave Irish politics? Is there any prospect of a change in the landscape before the next general election that presents voters with another option?
Theresa Reidy and Gerard Howlin join Hugh and Pat to discuss this question and others thrown up by the election.
Dr Theresa Reidy is a political scientist at University College Cork. Gerard Howlin is a public affairs consultant, political commentator and former senior government adviser who writes a regular politics column for The Irish Times.
