A famous victory for student politics

Hugh is joined by Harry McGee and Jennifer Bray to discuss the week in politics:

This week saw a rare and notable victory for student politics at Trinity College Dublin, where protestors secured a victory in their campaign for the college to divest from companies linked to Israel.

Meanwhile the Government’s moves towards recognising Palestinian statehood are still underway.

The asylum seeker accommodation crisis trundles on.

It is a month out from the European elections and Jennifer and Harry have their ear to the ground. Could high-profile first-timers like Ciaran Mullooly and Niall Boylan claim seats in Strasbourg at the expense of more established politicians?

And the panel pick their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:

Patrick Freyne reviewing Jennifer’s favourite TV show.

Laura Slattery’s excellent live coverage of Bambi Thug’s quest for Eurovision glory.

Barry Roche on the many outstanding mysteries surrounding American passport fraudster Randolph Kirk Parker, who was arrested in Cork last year.
