Your Politics

The lettuce lasted longer. Now who will replace Liz Truss as UK PM? The word is, Bojo is just winding us up. Join Áine Lawlor, Sandra Hurley, Micheál Lehane and Paul Cunningham, as they ponder Opposition warnings that the evictions ban simply kicks the can down the road, and what's at play in the Marc MacSharry delay. Then there's the leaks.

Unanimous opposition forces a Govt U-turn on moving refugees, as the system struggles to cope. Marc MacSharry heads back to FF for, we think, some "straight-shooting and troublemaking". And Leo shifts posture on banning evictions. The Your Politics team grapples with the week's big issues.

The concrete levy has gone down like a lead balloon; Your Politics anticipates a fudge and some major watering down of the controversial measure. Host Áine Lawlor & Co. discuss the Govt's unforced error in overlooking pay-as-you-go energy users, the positive signs for its pay deal, and for the Northern Ireland Protocol, and the Taoiseach's "glow".

What on earth is Kwasi Kwarteng doing, introducing un-costed tax cuts, and terrifying the markets? And is the wall of money keeping dissent largely under control after the mammoth Budget? Host Paul Cunningham, Political Coverage Editor David Murphy, and Political Correspondents Sorcha Ní Riada and Micheál Lehane cast a cold eye over recent events.

A cost-of-living Budget worth €11bn with a raft of once-off measures, including €600 in electricity credits and double social welfare payments. But the Opposition warns that these will be swallowed by rampant inflation, and accuses the Government of blowing a chance to deliver certainty. Join the Your Politics team as they crunch the numbers.

It would be "very naive" to hope for a quick fix to the current crisis, Fine Gael's Richard Bruton warns, and we "have to keep something in the tank". He joins Paul Cunningham, Mary Regan and Micheál Lehane to caution against price caps - which could be exploited by private interests. Retrofitting and pensions are also on the Your Politics agenda.

After years in the political wilderness, Taoiseach Micheál Martin has indicated he is open to the possibility of Bertie Ahern returning to Fianna Fáil after his resignation following disclosures in Mahon Tribunal regarding his personal finances. For the latest news from Leinster House join Áine Lawlor, Mícheál Lehane and Sandra Hurley

With the Coalition struggling in the polls, discontented Fianna Fáil backbenchers gather. Barry Cowen says there's a need to "crystalise" what sets the party apart. The Laois-Offaly TD wants more action on "the millstone around families' necks", and discusses being sacked from the Cabinet, who he says have "learnt their lesson" in the turf wars.

"How did you go bankrupt?" asks an Ernest Hemingway character. "Two ways," comes the reply. "Gradually, and then suddenly." The same could be said of Boris Johnson's resignation. On this special edition, Mary Regan is joined by Fine Gael European Affairs spokesperson, Neale Richmond, and colleagues Micheál Lehane, Sorcha Ní Riada and Conor Hunt.

Despite a domestic violence "pandemic", Martin Kenny says there are no domestic abuse refuges in Sligo-Leitrim. A member of the Justice Committee, he criticises the "rushed and inappropriate" Government response to the Graham Dwyer data retention ruling. And with his party topping polls, he vows they'll be fielding plenty of candidates.
