Description

After 14 years in Dáil Éireann and a decade in ministerial office, Fine Gael's Paschal Donohoe today announced his resignation. He leaves to take up a senior role at the World Bank in Washington, D.C.


Why did Paschal Donohoe decide to go now, and where is he going?


How important and consequential was Donohoe, as a politician and a minister? And just how prudent was 'Prudent Paschal'?


Where does the move leave Fine Gael and the Government?


They also look at the 'mini-reshuffle' precipitated by Donohoe's departure, including Tánaiste Simon Harris's move to take over in the Department of Finance.
