Votes have been counted and attention is now turning to who will form the next government. Labour leader Ivana Bacik and Kerry Independent TD Michael Healy-Rae believe they should be strongly considered for inclusion in a new coalition. For a time, it looked like Gerry Hutch might just become a TD. However, the man known as ‘The Monk’ ultimately fell short in Dublin Central. Hutch has spoken about his unsuccessful Dáil bid, while we also hear from the woman who ended his election dream. Host: Kevin Doyle Guests: Fionnán Sheahan, Philip Ryan, Ivana Bacik, Michael Healy-Rae, Gerry Hutch and Marie Sherlock
