The general election is over and talk has turned to the aftermath. For that some means government formation, for others it means new roles in opposition or the painful process of party rebuilding. We'll be covering all that on our regular episodes of Inside Politics but, for now, it's goodbye from Election Daily. Thanks to all our listeners over the past four weeks.On this final episode, Pat Leahy joins Hugh to answer some of your questions, submitted by email. Are we stuck in a permanent cycle of winter elections? Did increased gender quotas have any bearing on the composition of the new Dáil Éireann? Is there now any imaginable alternative to FF-FG in government? And were Bertie Ahern’s "stupid aul pencils" a factor in Gerry "The Monk" Hutch’s failure to get elected? Hosted on Acast.
