A councillor embroiled in a row over who'll wear the Cathaoirleach's chains in East Clare over the next few months has dismissed the episode as a "political spat". Sparks flew at yesterday's meeting of Killaloe Municipal District when Fine Gael's Pat Burke contested the decision allowing the Leas Cathaoirleach, Fianna Fáil's Pat Hayes, to ascend to the vacant top position. Arguably Clare's most harmonious municipal district became a battleground this week as the subject of which councillor will replace newly-elected Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney as Cathaoirleach dominated early discussions. Prior to his election to Dáil Éireann in November, Deputy Cooney had been the appointed Cathaoirleach of Killaloe Municipal District for the 2024/25 Clare County Council term, with Maghera Councillor Pat Hayes serving as Leas Cathaoirleach. Following O'Callaghan's Mills native Conor Ryan's co-option onto the municipal district in December, the newcomer quickly indicated his lack of interest in taking the reins just set. Yesterday, it was proposed that Councillor Hayes would step up from his position as vice-chair to be at the helm of the MD until June, with Fianna Fáil councillors Tony O'Brien and Alan O'Callaghan backing the plan. The development led Whitegate Councillor Pat Burke to accuse the Fianna Fáil contingent of "railroading" their Fine Gael counterparts and refusing to engage with him on the subject. He claims it's not unthinkable that the three Fianna Fáil councillors have a "plan up their sleeve" to ensure Councillor Ryan never has the opportunity to be Cathaoirelach in this term. With four years left in this council term, it's not yet clear if Councillor Hayes will serve a full year as Cathaoirleach at another stage or if Councillor Ryan will wear the chains for half of that year in order to ensure both representatives do a full stint. Councillor Hayes believes a "flare-up" is healthy every once in a while and doesn't envisage that the issue will be a cause of friction going forward.

For centuries, Westminster has been dominated by politicians who attended some of the most prestigious schools in the country. This week on Westminster Insider, host Sascha O'Sullivan finds out whether public schools still dominate or if state educated Rachel Reeves and Bridget Phillipson's move to tax fees reflects the end of the era of Etonians. Sascha visits Eton College and takes a tour around the art school and the theater, hears from an old boy about the kind of education children receive there — and discovers why our prime ministers are far more likely to have been attended this school than any other. Former Labour adviser and old Etonian Patrick Hennessey tells Sascha the confidence a school such as his alma mater instills can easily slip into arrogance. FT journalist and author Simon Kuper explains why privately educated politicians have always tended to banded together in Westminster — and how that can leave those that attended less prestigious institutions out in the cold. Keir Starmer's former adviser Donjeta Miftari describes coming to work in SW1 as a former comprehensive pupil and immediately noticing the networks which the independent sector fosters beyond the school itself. Former David Blunkett adviser Conor Ryan recalls the fights with private school heads when the Blair government axed the state-funded assisted places scheme. Sam Freedman, education expert and former adviser to Michael Gove, explains how the former education's secretary's background informed his attitude to education reform. And Sascha travelled to Brentwood, a private school in Essex, where headteacher Michael Bond tells her Reeves' decision to put VAT on private schools was "punishing" them unfairly, as the private sector was making strides towards making fee-paying schools less exclusive.

Evan Marinofsky and Conor Ryan are back with another episode of Bruins Beat! Today, they discuss the Bruins suffering another tough loss on Black Friday, continuing a string of heartbreaking defeats. Despite generating plenty of chances, the team still struggles to score, which remains a major concern as the season progresses. One glaring issue is the power play, which ranks among the worst in the league—addressing that could go a long way toward boosting the offense.
