About the show

Why does Ireland feel poorer than it should? Why can't we seem to actually get shit done and how can we fix it? This podcast tells the story of the real root causes of Ireland's issues, how we can actually solve them, and how we can actually develop the political coalitions needed to deliver. We don't just criticise: we solve. We don't just give out about the government: we ask how they can actually improve our services. Hosted by Keire Murphy and Aidan Regan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
