Tuesday 25 November - One Year After the Election: Big Promises, Bigger Bills

IOn this episode, the cost of living surges back into focus as the price of home heating oil jumps by €80 in a single month, bringing the average cost of a 1,000-litre fill to around €980 — more than €200 higher than across the border. Fionnán Sheahan is joined by first-time TDs Catherine Callaghan (Fine Gael), Louis O’Hara (Sinn Féin), and Eoghan Kenny (Labour) to debate the pressure on households and what solutions are actually on the table. As the show marks one year since the general election, our panel reflects on what has — and hasn’t — been achieved, and the realities of delivering on political promises from inside the Dáil. Later, with Ukraine backing a US-supported peace plan and Russia signalling it may walk away, we assess whether a historic breakthrough is within reach. We go live to Washington for the latest with correspondent Toni Waterman. A year of political promises, surging household costs, and shifting geopolitics — all on The Tonight Show. Hosted on Acast.
