A stormy week inside and outside of Leinster House | Indo Politics

Описание: After a week of heavy rain and wind across the country, it was a stormy week inside Leinster House and Indo Politics is back to review it all. This week, Political Editor Mary Regan joins Tabitha Monahan with plenty to discuss.

May 22nd seems to be the date for both the Dublin Central and Galway-West by-elections and with a couple of names already confirmed, we go through the runners and riders in both constituencies, will we see Gerry Hutch throw his name in the ring again?

On Thursday, Bord Bia chairman Larry Murrin appeared before an Oireachtas Agricultural Committee on the back of the recent controversy surrounding his company Dawn Farms importing Brazilian beef for certain products.

The government's response to the recent flooding in various parts of the country garnered significant criticism again this week from opposition parties after another few days of stormy weather. Will it cause the coalition serious damage?

Also this week, we heard that legislation to take scramblers off Irish roads is being rushed through and it will be called 'Grace's Law' following the tragic death of 16-year-old Grace Lynch.
