Description

In this episode I consider how Northern Ireland and the changes to the triple lock may become issues at the upcoming Irish presidential election.

I examine the evolving shifts in Micheál Martin's thinking on Irish unity and his preference for engagement with lapsed nationalists, over unionists and northern nationalists.

I set out my problems with the government's proposed reforms of the Triple Lock on Irish Defence deployment... and with the opposition's response.

I also explore how the presidential race could influence broader government stability.
