In this week’s podcast, Fiach Kelly reports from the MacGill Summer School in Glenties, Co Donegal, while Harry McGee describes how Leinster House is slowing to a halt as the summer holidays kick in, along with who’s leading in the race between Simon Coveney and Leo Varadkar to be next Fine Gael leader. And recently demoted minister Pat Rabbitte talks about what it’s like to return to the backbenches after two years in the Cabinet.
