About this episode
The episode discusses the aftermath of the presidential election in Ireland, focusing on Catherine Connolly's victory and the implications of spoiled votes.
As predicted, commentator Ivan Yates and Newstalk's Political Correspondent correctly called it that Catherine Connolly would win the election and become Ireland's 10th President, but the number of spoiled votes is the big story on count day. From Dublin Castle, Ivan and Sean talk through the public discontent and what's next for the government and opposition parties.
