In this GE2024 Special podcast we are rejoined by campaigning journalist and climate activist, John Gibbons, to run the rule over the climate ambitions of the Parties in advance of the election.

This is a great conversation and as John starkly tell us, there is no non-radical outcome left, but there might still be time to choose the more cohesive option.

Jen Cummins is a first time candidate with the Soc Dems in Dublin South Central. It's a very diverse, and dare we say unequal constituency where Jen has her work cut out for her in the last few days of the campaign. But as you'll hear, she is clearly a person of substance who is up for the challenge.
