The latest episode of the Inside Politics podcast looks back on a busy stretch in Irish politics, with Hugh Linehan joined by Harry McGee and Cormac McQuinn to discuss the main issues shaping the week.
A key focus is the Government’s expected report on Aughinish Alumina. The discussion centers on what the findings may say about material produced at the site and why the report could carry political and wider public significance.
The podcast also turns to calls for a ban on e-scooters, highlighting another issue that has moved into the political spotlight. The debate points to broader questions around transport policy, regulation and public safety.
Taken together, the topics underline how industrial policy and everyday transport concerns are colliding in the political arena. The episode frames both issues as part of a wider conversation about how the Government responds to contentious and fast-moving policy challenges.
