Although most Welsh eyes will only have been focussing on one result from Ireland over the last week - that of the Welsh Women's football side defeating Ireland in the play off for a place in the 2024 European Championships - there was a big result in the general election too!

To discuss the results, campaigns, and political significance of the 2024 Irish election, we are joined by independent researcher and author Lila Haines and researcher at the Wales Governance Centre, Dr Alexander Fitzpatrick.
