We all witnessed a mob attack a small encampment of vulnerable asylum seekers on the streets of Dublin in horror. But our mood wasn't much helped by the political reaction and much of the reporting on what happened. Joining us to discuss the ongoing failure of the Irish State to live up to our international obligations around the protections of persons seeking asylum, is the best reporter covering this beat, Shamim Malekmian.

We are also joined by Mr. irishelectionprojections.com himself, Harry McEvansoneya. Harry talks us through the latest opinion polls and weighs in on the part played by the state and some in the commentariat in stoking trouble. Then we all get stuck into the A.I-rish Times publishing an opinion piece by a bad faith troll and Harry calls for the democratising of the Eurovision.
