Get your tickets here . Pat Leahy and Harry McGee join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics: Green leader Roderic O'Gorman has proposed a one-off €2.5bn energy fund, split between targeted energy credits and investment in grants for solar panels and EVs. It is one of few genuinely good ideas that emerged from the political party think-in season.  Following Wednesday’s interview with Minister for Public Expenditure Jack Chambers on the podcast, Pat assesses Chambers' political positioning in the run-up to Budget day.  Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan's tightening of naturalisation rules imposes a range of new requirements on those seeking citizenship. Are they fair?  The UK is now leading the way on sanctions against illegal West Bank settlements. The haste is in contrast with Ireland's slow progress since 2018.  Plus, what we now know about the timing and choreography of Donald Trump’s weekend visit.  And finally the panel pick their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week.  Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?
