Will Sinn Féin back a left unity candidate for the presidency?

Will Sinn Féin back a left unity candidate for the presidency?

Jack Horgan-Jones and Cormac McQuinn join Hugh to look back on the week in politics:

· Did Simon Harris put his foot in his mouth when he contradicted the US account of a phone call between him and Donald Trump’s Secretary of State Marco Rubio? The comments added to jitters over the Taoiseach’s visit to Trump’s White House next week.

· Security and Ireland’s defence have roared onto the political agenda. Is our political system ready for the debate about how to respond?

· This week left wing parties including Sinn Fein, Labour, Social Democrats, People Before Profit and Greens held talks to explore running a joint candidate in this year’s presidential election. But will the idea fly?

Plus, the panellists pick their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week, including Ireland’s unintelligent intelligence services, the fight back against Ireland’s Covid grade inflation and hope for Ireland at next year’s Oscar winners.
