The country heaved a sigh of relief this week when Micheal Martin’s meeting with Donald Trump went off without a hitch. The potential for a disaster or two was nervously discussed before the meeting but the wily Corkman survived. That’s one view. Another is that he just kept the head down and dodged what some might have considered his duty to discuss with current incumbent in the White House. So how did it really go? Irish Examiner Political Editor Elaine Loughlin was in the Oval Office and even managed to fire a question at President Trump... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…
Providing an education for all children should be a basic duty of the state. Yet, for some reason, it doesn’t happen in this country.

Why, in a country as allegedly developed as this, have we not been able to get this basic duty right. Rebecca Meehan, a mother of a child with additional needs, and Irish Examiner Education Correspondent Jess Casey join the podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…
