Jennifer Carol MacLeal also featuring very prominently, again, given her clashes with hospital consultants.
Ratings for both the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste.
My own sense is probably the Tánaiste coming out slightly on the upside there between the two of them.
And then various assessments of the runners and riders, people like Nora Foley, Hildegard Nocturne.
I suppose the big issue for me...
as a kind of overview, is that the subtext of a lot of the articles is that there is a certain amount of tension and conflict between the two big parties in government.
But to be fair, they seem to have been relatively good at keeping that under wraps so far.
So even though we're hearing that it's there, we're not seeing massive bust-ups in public and they are managing...
to maintain a party line, which if you were to look at, well, is this government going to last?
That would be, it's those kind of fractures are the key things that you would be looking for.
So that's kind of runners and riders overall.
I think what's partly been lost here, because I was on the Department of Justice review of the civil legal aid scheme, and that hasn't been implemented yet, is that the proposed changes were part of a suite of reforms around how the courts work.
The OECD did a big piece on how the judges effectively are operating within our courts.
And
My sense here is that this piece has come out in front, whereas if you have a piece like this, which operates within a bigger context of overall reform of the system, you're not left with the dangers which we have right now of essentially people being unrepresented.
That's the concern, I suppose.
And I think, to be fair, that's what perhaps critics in the other parties are coming at, is that to run out the gap on this one when actually there are bigger systematic problems in the system in terms of how the courts are operating, how they're being staffed.
that need to move with this in order to make this reform like this effective.
Yeah, so I suppose one of the first things that comes out in a lot of these stories is highlighting the, you know, to be fair, very strong stance that Ireland has taken in support of Ukraine throughout this conflict.
And I suppose then the challenges which the Ahanis issue poses.
