This week on The Group Chat, Richard is reporting live from Vatican City, where all eyes are fixed on the iconic chimney above the Sistine Chapel as the world awaits the white smoke.

Zara checks in from Sweden, where 'flat-pack homes' are transforming housing – though Gavan remains unconvinced the model could take root in Ireland.

Also on the show, Killian Woods from the Sunday Business Post joins to unpack Ireland’s staggering $967 billion ‘tax mirage’ – what it means and why has it increased so quickly.

Plus, a broadcasting era ends as Joe Duffy hangs up the mic at Liveline.
