Jack Horgan-Jones and Pat Leahy join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:

• Jack reports from Brussels where EU leaders have been meeting to discuss issues including defence and rearmament.

• Paschal Donohoe used the sidelines of an EU summit to deliver a stark warning on the impact of tariffs on the economy.

• Conor McGregor’s appearance at the White House on St Patrick’s Day has heightened anticipation of a presidential run of his own.

• This week also saw more bad news on the issue the Government can’t get away from.

Plus the panelists pick their favourite Irish Times articles of the week, including Miriam Lord on Web Summit, Gerry Thornley on Ireland’s Six Nations and Newton Emerson on Unionism discovering its Irish identity.
