Matt Cooper discusses Bertie Ahern's views on immigration and the challenges of being a 20th-century politician in a digital age with guests Lise Hand and Shane Coleman.

Matt is joined by Lise Hand and Shane Coleman to discuss the controversy involving former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and his views on immigration, as expressed to a voter who recorded and disclosed them. They offer a detailed assessment of the way in which Bertie Ahern operates and why he is an analogue 20th century politician in a digital world. Discussions on; the appropriate use of our national flag - the tricolour, how immigration will be a factor in next week's by-elections and whether constituency polls are accurate predictors of what will happen. They also discuss Jack Chambers attempts to impose fiscal discipline on his ministerial colleagues, Simon Harris’ obsession with savings plans for the well-off and Revenue’s approach to taxing sheds for beds.
