Great stuff Naomi O'Leary & Tim Mc Inerney

If you like your history bloody...and I know you do

The Irish Passport is a consistently excellent podcast.

Why are hotels an issue in Ireland's burgeoning anti-immigration politics? And why might Ireland's coming presidential election be one to watch out for?

A new The Irish Passport Podcast is out, considering the longer term consequences for Irish politics of what I call in the episode the 'end of public peace'.
