The Monk’s Manifesto, abolishing extradition and winning the egg and spoon race: A Free State Election Special
1Description
What are the election candidates’ favourite biscuit? Who is the best runner? Who can pour the best pint? Given the photo ops that have marked the election campaign so far these would seem to be the issues convulsing Ireland. On a Free State Saturday special, Dion and Joe ask if these stage managed stunts are what will decide the election. Or will the issues that matter to people like housing and the cost of living take over?
Joe reveals the contents of The Monk’s election manifesto, including his plan to abolish extradition. When Eoghan Murphy tells us that when he was Fine Gael Housing minister he didn’t solve the housing crisis because Fine Gael did not want to, do we believe him? Will it make a difference to voters once they learn about a candidate’s love of custard creams?
Dion and Joe also tell the truth about small talk while extending an invitation to the Taoiseach Simon Harris.
Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.
