Pat Leahy and Jack Horgan-Jones join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· The findings of the Irish Times/TG4 opinion poll on first preference votes, carried out by Ipsos B&A, suggests three leading candidates in the Galway West byelection. It shows Seán Kyne (Fine Gael) at 17 per cent followed by Noel Thomas (Independent Ireland Party) on 16 per cent and Helen Ogbu (Labour) on 12 per cent. · In Dublin Central, candidate and veteran criminal Gerry Hutch rejected claims that recent comments he made about immigrants were racist. In a social media post on Sunday Hutch said, “illegal immigrants”, including Somalis, who were “mooching” their way into the country, should be interned in the Curragh.· And Minister for Education Hildegarde Naughton's recent confirmation that her department is facing a deficit of more than €500 million this year was dwarfed by the HSE's decision to pause recruitment in non-frontline roles across significant parts of the country due to a projected €1 billion overspend this year.Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· Mark Paul on nationalist-led administrations running Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Finn McRedmond is not a fan of ‘grotty' Stephen's Green Shopping Centre, and Donald Trump's boundless appetite for self‑memorialisation.

Dublin actor, comedian and former international boxer Terry O'Neill joins us to talk about the upcoming show at the National Stadium, ‘In The Ring With Dan Donnelly & Dublin's Boxing Legends', taking place on May 9. Terry, who will perform a portion of his hit one-man show Rope-A-Dope on the night, will be joined by heavyweights of Irish culture including Brian Kerr, Damien Dempsey and Elite champion Kellie McLoughlin.Though he had just three organized bouts, Dan Donnelly's name remains legendary more than 200 years after his death. Terry explains how Donnelly's 19th-century clashes with Englishmen Tom Hall and George Cooper on the Curragh were the "Louis-Schmeling" of their day - symbols of the oppressed rising against the oppressor. We dive into the life of this hard-drinking man of the people and the macabre saga of his stolen arm, which became a literal ‘Irish Shroud of Turin'.We also trace the lineage of Dublin boxing royalty, from Frankie Kerr to Kenneth Egan, and Steve Collins to Kellie Harrington. Plus, we run the rule over today's stars: from Pierce O'Leary, fresh off his clinical IBO world title win at the 3Arena, to the resurgent Jono Carroll, and the relentless Paul Ryan and Emmet Brennan.With Donnelly still remembered two centuries on, we ask: which of today's fighters will be talked about in 2226? If Katie Taylor finally gets her Croke Park swansong - a hot topic on today's pod - she might just be the one Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
