The streets may have been cleared, but the fallout from the fuel protests will now be counted in abundance.

So, as the government unveils its specialist package, does it all go away now?

And what do the protests tell us about the state of politics in Ireland?

There is an expectation that whatever happens, something must be done.

The something must be done department, a very dangerous place in politics and in life generally.

I'm Fionnain Sheehan, and today on the IndoDaily, I'm joined by Mary Regan and John Downing from the Irish Independent Political Team, and by Bell True, Chief International Correspondent at the UK Independent, to discuss the latest on the Iran war and its knock-on effect here at home.

Beltra, we had these negotiations in Pakistan directly between Iran and the United States.

Obviously, there was high hopes from that.

What was the outcome?

So how does that work?

And does he have enough firepower to maintain and sustain such a blockade?

Talk to me about another, I suppose, spinoff from all of these peace talks and this war in the Middle East.

And that's Israel's attacks on Lebanon.

Where is that at?

And did anything emerge from the peace talks that would give you hope there of a resolution?

Here's one we didn't see coming, even in Donald Trump's bizarre world, the United States president slagging off the Pope.

So what exactly is going on there between Donald Trump and Pope Leo, who is, after all, the first American pope?

Yeah, the Pope may be infallible, but even that doesn't exempt you from criticism from Donald Trump.

Belle True, thanks very much for your analysis on latest developments in the war in the Middle East.

Right, Mary Regan, after a week of chaos, six days that very much rocked the government, what's the outcome?
