Politics NOW! w/ Gatrick Power - My Politics > Your Politics by Gatrick Power on Radio One 91FM Dunedin

"We've got to cop ourselves on", Senator Michael McDowell insists. The former Minister for Justice tells Your Politics that the Irish system is the "least capable" of assessing applications, which is "manna from Heaven" for right-wing extremists, He dismisses the so-called "whole of Government" approach, saying that it does not actually exist.

The resignation of Damien English was the polar opposite of last year's painful fall of (Robet) Troy. But it's soured the New Year for the Government. Sinn Féin TD Mark Ward says a quick exit was "the right thing" to do. He speaks frankly to Your Politics about living with multiple sclerosis, homelessness, and the need to "break the stigma".

It's the final countdown to the changing of the guard, and the Your Politics team assembles to consider all the angles. We ponder the day's choreography, and consider what to expect from Leo Mk II as he readies to reach for an in-tray filled to bursting. There's the all-important view from the bridge, and does Brussels beckon for Micheál Martin?

Despite some "kicking and screaming", Patrick Costello insists climate action is on course. The recently-returned prodigal Green TD reckons his legal challenge to an EU-Canada trade deal has given the Attorney General a "legal headache". Your Politics discusses the logistics of the Big Switcheroo, and the dangers of incorporeal Cabinet meetings.

Minister for Higher Education Simon Harris swears he doesn't know where he'll be after the reshuffle, insists that FG and FF are at one on housing, and says that being in power for over a decade "is a positive". He tells Your Politics that the next election will a significant moment for the country. And declares a vested interest in the live crib.

Sinn Féin's Kathleen Funchion is keen to "get in there to make changes". But she tells Your Politics that she isn't even taking her seat for granted. Warning against "criticism for the sake of criticism", she says the Govt is on the right track on childcare, and talks about moving back in with her parents, with her two children, to save a deposit.

Unanimous opposition forces a Govt U-turn on moving refugees, as the system struggles to cope. Marc MacSharry heads back to FF for, we think, some "straight-shooting and troublemaking". And Leo shifts posture on banning evictions. The Your Politics team grapples with the week's big issues.

The concrete levy has gone down like a lead balloon; Your Politics anticipates a fudge and some major watering down of the controversial measure. Host Áine Lawlor & Co. discuss the Govt's unforced error in overlooking pay-as-you-go energy users, the positive signs for its pay deal, and for the Northern Ireland Protocol, and the Taoiseach's "glow".

A cost-of-living Budget worth €11bn with a raft of once-off measures, including €600 in electricity credits and double social welfare payments. But the Opposition warns that these will be swallowed by rampant inflation, and accuses the Government of blowing a chance to deliver certainty. Join the Your Politics team as they crunch the numbers.

It would be "very naive" to hope for a quick fix to the current crisis, Fine Gael's Richard Bruton warns, and we "have to keep something in the tank". He joins Paul Cunningham, Mary Regan and Micheál Lehane to caution against price caps - which could be exploited by private interests. Retrofitting and pensions are also on the Your Politics agenda.

Labour is struggling despite the heave but Duncan Smith insists Alan Kelly had to go. He vows never "to hurt people again", but admits it's "a long road back" from its coalition "catastrophe".

In the face of massive delays, "Passport Express" gets binned. Housing Minister Daragh O'Brien shows some 'North Dublin swagger' taking Leaders' Questions, but just manages a draw in his bout with Sinn Féin's Pearse Doherty. And echoes of Trump as Boris Johnson surfs a tsunami of negative headlines. The Your Politics team parse the week's news.

Paul Murphy says the Government has "done the deal" on the National Maternity Hospital, but is not convinced by its reassurances.

A storm is raging over the term 'clinically appropriate' and the new National Maternity Hospital.

Barry Ward describes the "harrowing" experience of visiting a mass grave in Bucha earlier, where more than 100 people are interred. The Fine Gael Senator recounts the "steely determination" of the population in the face of devastation. A lawyer, he tells Your Politics that the EU must take the lead in gathering crucial evidence of war crimes.

As a former Environment Minister, Independent TD for Roscommon–Galway Denis Naughten is well-versed in the debate over "dirty, messy" turf. He tells Your Politics that a child having an asthma attack is an indictment of fossil fuels, and urges Eamon Ryan to focus on "smoky retail fuels".

As Chair of the Climate Committee, Brian Leddin has strong views on hitting carbon reduction targets. But the Green TD warns Your Politics that it is an "absolute Herculean task", which demands no flip-flopping on carbon taxes.

The Russian army - the fourth largest in the world - rolls into Ukraine, riding roughshod over international law. After repeated promises that he would not invade, the Russian President makes his move with inflation rocketing and energy supplies squeezed - meaning sanctions will cut both ways. The Your Politics team assess the latest developments.

Fianna Fáil's Mark Daly, Cathaoirleach of the Seanad, joins the Your Politics team to discuss the "true meaning" of the tricolour, how the UK has upped its game in Washington post-Brexit and why "diplomacy is a contact sport".
