POPULARITY
We take a look back on the stories of the week on our Friday Forum. Joining Pat this morning in studio was Emer Higgins TD, Minister of State for Public Procurement, Digitalisation and eGovernment, Fine Gael, Dublin Mid West, Paul Murphy TD, People Before Profit, Dublin South West and also Jane Matthews, Political Correspondent, The Journal.
The Dáil had to be suspended yesterday as the row over speaking rights to independent TDs, who support the government but want designated time to question the coalition, rages on. Kerry TD Danny Healy-Rae is one of the independents who now qualify for this speaking time as it was passed in the Dáil yesterday. 0pposition parties say it’s wrong to allocate opposition speaking time to TDs who support the government. The new speaking time allocation will also allow backbench Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael deputies question the government. Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald said this was stroke politics and would not allow the government to be held to account. The Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the opposition was completely disproportionate in their response over what he said was an additional eight minutes of speaking time on two days in the Dail. The image that went viral from yesterday’s chaos was Tipperary North TD Michael Lowry of the Rural Independent Group – who was at the heart of the deal that independents made with Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael - giving a two-finger gesture to Paul Murphy of People Before Profit. Jerry spoke to Deputy Danny Healy-Rae and Fianna Fáil TD for Kerry, Michael Cahill. Jerry also spoke to Fionnán Sheehan, Ireland editor with the Irish Independent.
Jerry spoke to Cian Prendiville of People Before Profit, who ran for the party in Kerry in last November's general election, about the Irish Independent’s report that households could face charges for excessive water use this year.

The comments added to jitters over the Taoiseach's visit to Trump's White House next week.· Security and Ireland's defence have roared onto the political agenda. Is our political system ready for the debate about how to respond?· This week left wing parties including Sinn Fein, Labour, Social Democrats, People Before Profit and Greens held talks to explore running a joint candidate in this year's presidential election. But will the idea fly?

The latest Irish Times/Ipsos B&A opinion poll reveals that Fine Gael's share of the vote has dropped by six points in less than two weeks, following a campaign marked by missteps. The party now trails both Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin.As the final days of the campaign unfold, and with tomorrow night's three-way televised leaders' debate, the three largest parties are neck-and-neck, separated by just two percentage points. Based on the latest figures—excluding undecided voters—Fianna Fáil stands at 21% (up two points), Sinn Féin at 20% (up one), and Fine Gael at 19% (down six).Among smaller parties, the Green Party has reached 4% (up one), Labour is at 4% (down one), the Social Democrats at 6% (up two), People Before Profit at 3% (up one), and Aontú remains steady at 3%. Independents, including Independent Ireland, are at 17% (down three points). Notably, undecided voters have risen to 19% (up three points).The top issues influencing voters include the cost of living (31%), housing prices (18%), and health (16%). Other key concerns include the economy (7%), immigration (7%), renting costs (6%), climate (5%), law and order (5%), and taxation (3%).We also want to give voice to independent and smaller party candidates, who often don't receive adequate coverage in mainstream media.

There's one thing I see people often overlook, and it's something I personally struggled with—recognizing that your greatest asset is your team. One book that really resonated with me is People Over Profit, which emphasizes the importance of treating your people right. When you prioritize and invest in your team and focus on improving the customer experience, profit naturally follows. In that book, they argue that people should always come before profit, because when profit becomes the top priority over people, you're setting yourself up for turnover. And when your team starts to leave, it negatively impacts the customer experience. This leads to both employee and customer churn, which creates a vicious cycle that's hard to break.

We're firmly into the second week of campaigning for the General Election. The Clare electorate will cast their votes on the 29th of November, when they will choose the four TDs to represent the county in the 34th Dáil. Let's get a flavour of what has been happening on the campaign trail. Both government parties and Sinn Féin were accused of insulting the electorate in last night's televised election debate. During the debate, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil accused Sinn Féin of being unfit to govern - while the main opposition party highlighted the government's failure to address the housing crisis or spending overruns. The government's record on overspending came to the fore during last night's debate, along with the housing crisis, immigration, and climate. The government parties were also criticised for not passing the Occupied Territories Bill by People Before Profit's Richard Boyd Barrett and Ivana Bacik of Labour. Green Party leader Roderic O'Gorman confirmed he would be willing to re-form a government with Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil. To discuss all of this and more, Alan Morrissey was joined in-studio by Fianna Fáil Candidate, Rita McInerney, Independent Ireland Candidate, Kevin Hassett, Irish Freedom Party Candidate, Michael Leahy, and Rabharta Candidate, Barry O'Donovon.

An Ireland South Candidate is calling for an immediate halt to an EU fund that is indirectly bolstering Israeli military efforts. It comes amid claims from People Before Profit that up to one-third of the IDF's arms last year came from european funding. It's understood Israel is availing of grants from the EU's €95bn 'Horizon' scheme which is designed to support research and innovation, however some companies are using it to develop drone technology.
