On this week's show: there’s something about Mary - why is Mary Mitchell O’Connor getting such flak? Is nail polish and driving skills of any relevance to her job?

In an exclusive for the Floating Voter, the Minister responds to the criticisms and back-biting with Philip Ryan saying,

"Judge me when I have my job done - I don't care what people say about me but I'd prefer it if they said it to my face."

Also joining Kevin Doyle and Philip Ryan was Niamh Horan as the panel discussed the week in Irish politics including Mary Mitchell O'Connor, Dail holidays and the teachers' strike.
