This morning’s programme began with a discussion on the next government, and the possible end of civil war politics in Ireland.

Following a meeting between their respective party leaders last evening, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are poised to go from a confidence and supply agreement into a fully-fledged coalition government together. The agreement looks poised to be supported by the parties’ Clare TDs, Cathal Crowe and Joe Carey – they joined Gavin on the line this morning.
