What really goes on when forming a new Government?

The Programme for Government talks are officially underway, and all eyes are on the horse-trading, backroom deals, and political machinations that come with it. This week on Taking Stock Mandy Johnston talks to two seasoned insiders: former Labour Party Leader Pat Rabbitte and journalist and author Stephen Collins. In a move that has sent shockwaves through the footballing world, Saudi Arabia has officially been announced as the host of the 2034 FIFA World Cup.
