We’re firmly into the second week of campaigning for the General Election.
The Clare electorate will cast their votes on the 29th of November, when they will choose the four TDs to represent the county in the 34th Dáil.
Let’s get a flavour of what has been happening on the campaign trail.
Both government parties and Sinn Féin were accused of insulting the electorate in last night’s televised election debate.
During the debate, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil accused Sinn Féin of being unfit to govern – while the main opposition party highlighted the government’s failure to address the housing crisis or spending overruns.
The government’s record on overspending came to the fore during last night’s debate, along with the housing crisis, immigration, and climate.
The government parties were also criticised for not passing the Occupied Territories Bill by People Before Profit’s Richard Boyd Barrett and Ivana Bacik of Labour.
Green Party leader Roderic O’Gorman confirmed he would be willing to re-form a government with Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil.
To discuss all of this and more, Alan Morrissey was joined in-studio by Fianna Fáil Candidate, Rita McInerney, Independent Candidate, Kevin Hassett, Irish Freedom Party Candidate, Michael Leahy, and Rabharta Candidate, Barry O’Donovon.
