The phoney war is over and it’s finally time to tear apart the ‘fiscal space’, put up the posters and dig up the dirt.

Things really ramp up a gear in the latest episode of ‘The Floating Voter’ with Niamh Horan from the Sunday Independent joining the team to discuss her now infamous interview with Alan Kelly.

The panel debate whether there’s a difference being muck-raking and legitimately digging up old stories at election.

And Independent.ie’s Jason Kennedy gets to grips with some of the latest candidate theme tunes.
