The Great Switcheroo
This week on Taking Stock Mandy Johnston look at the historic nature of the mid-term reshuffle which is due to take place here in Ireland next month and takes a deep diver into the Government; how it was formed, how it has performed and what is likely to happen when the changes are made by Micheál Martin and Leo Varadkar.
They’ll be switching places as they try to deal with everything that entails including a cost of living, energy and housing crisis. Mandy is joined by three experts who watch politics here in Ireland to give us all their views on what lies ahead for the new administration.
And Mandy takes an alternative looks at the sector by speaking to one of the Approved Housing Bodies ‘Circle Voluntary Housing Association’ and hears about how the profile of the people needing this type of assistance has changed radically in recent years.
