In 2016, the Healy-Rae brothers sailed to a sensational electoral victory in Kerry. Between them, Michael and Danny secured a remarkable 38pc of the Kingdom's vote, cementing the Healy-Rae brand as one of the most formidable forces in Irish politics. Their winning formula quickly became the stuff of legend: divide the county, direct voters to back each brother with No 1 and No 2, and waste no Healy-Rae vote. And it was a stunning success. Since then, the pair have been a constant presence in Irish political life. But now, tensions are surfacing and their differences over entering Government have spilled out into the open. So, is this the beginning of the end of the Healy-Rae dynasty? And is their kingdom now divided? On today's Indo Daily, Tessa Fleming is joined by John Downing, political correspondent at the Irish Independent, and Jerry O'Sullivan, broadcaster with Radio Kerry, to unpack the fallout from one of Ireland's most headline-grabbing political dynasties.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Beidh vótálaithe i nGaillimh agus Baile Átha Cliath ag caitheamh vóta i bhfothoghcháin Dé hAoine beag seo. Ghéill Paschal Donohoe a shuíochán Dála i mBaile Átha Cliath Láir i mí na Samhna seo caite chun a dhul ag obair sa Bhanc Domhanda. Chomh maith leis, tá suíochán an Uachtaráin nua Catherine Connolly le líonadh i nGaillimh Thiar. Tá 31 iarrthóir san iomlán ag rith sa dá thoghcheantar. Is iomaí ceist atá i mbéal an phobail agus an toghchán ag teannadh linn. Tá cúrsaí tithíochta, an costas maireachtála, an inimirce ag croílár an fheachtais sa dá chontae. Ach cé hiad na hiarrthóirí atá chun cinn go dtí seo? An buntáiste í líofacht na Gaeilge, go háirithe do mhuintir Chonamara? Agus cén tionchar a bheidh ag torthaí na dtoghchán seo ar na páirtithe móra agus ar chúrsaí polaitíochta na tíre i gcoitinne?

Fianna Fáil has turned the ripe old age of 100. But is the house that Éamon de Valera built in disarray? Irish Independent political correspondent John Downing reckons “they're a very pale, poor shadow of what they were”. So, how did Dev shape the party in the first place? How did Seán Lemass modernise Ireland? Why did Charles Haughey command such loyalty? What made Bertie Ahern the “ultimate pragmatist”? And where does Micheál Martin stand among the leaders who have gone before him? Host: Fionnán Sheahan Guest: John Downing Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For decades, Gerry Adams has denied being a member of the Provisional IRA. Now, for the first time, that claim is being challenged in an English courtroom. Three men, all victims of separate IRA bombings, have taken civil action against the former Sinn Féin leader for the symbolic sum of £1 in damages. But after his resounding libel victory over the BBC last year, how will he fare under this new and very different legal scrutiny? And what could the consequences be if the judge rules in favour of the victims? Host: Tessa Fleming, Guests: Kurtis Reid, John Downing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tríocha bliain ó shin, tharla rud nár tharla riamh roimhe. Thug Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe Bill Clinton - an polaiteoir is cumhachtaí ar domhan - cuairt ar Thuaisceart na hÉireann don chéad uair riamh. Ar lá stairiúil i 1995, le linn shos cogaidh an IRA nuair a leagadh síos na gunnaí agus na buamaí, sheas Clinton os comhair na mílte i nDoire agus labhair sé faoin tsíocháin. Ach cad chuige go raibh daoine ina éadan? Agus cén tionchar a bhí ag an chuairt ar an choimhlint? Labhraíonn Tessa Fleming leis an iriseoir polaitíochta John Downing.
