Ellen Coyne and Jack Horgan-Jones join Hugh to look back on the week in politics:
- Next week Fianna Fáil will get the long-awaited review into the circumstances around Jim Gavin's disastrous presidential campaign. Has the wait taken the sting out of the issue for Micheal Martin?
- The Government is worried about political fallout if it fails to vote against the EU's Mercosur trade deal. It argues that any such vote could be purely symbolic
- Another thorny issue for the coalition: lengthy waiting lists for assessments of need, the process by which children with additional needs are assigned educational supports. The situation has long been untenable but the proposed solution is also controversial.
- Hugh addresses some of the many comments that have come in about Wednesday's interview with Eoin Lenihan.
- Minister Patrick O'Donovan wants Ireland to move ahead of the EU to restrict how younger teenagers access social media.
And finally the panel pick their favourite Irish Times journalism of the week.
