Notes from my podcast Mooney on Politics Podcast - script notes for No Security Solutions to Political Problems episode - April 12 This morning, the Sunday Independent ran a poll asking about support for the protesters and put it at around 58%, and support for the government at 38%. It asked who is blamed most for the problem and it seems the government is definitely in a clear first spot. When it asked what the solution was, it seemed to be that the government must climb down. What struck me about that poll is it very much mirrors the government satisfaction/dissatisfaction rating at the moment: 60% of people are dissatisfied with the government, 30% satisfied; 60% of people support the protesters, 38% support the government.

I have just published my latest #MooneyOnPolitics #Podcast: An #Taoiseach Micheál Martin announced in March 2017 that his party would produce an #IrishUnity blueprint / White Paper.

Today, he is against the idea. What Changed?

Podcast script for: New Fianna Fáil leader in 2026… or wait until 2027… or never? Here are my speaking notes / script for my podcast episode entitled: Change FF leader now… or wait until 2027… or never? This is not a transcript. It is the set of notes I drafted in advance of recording. As usual my podcast, as recorded, diverts slightly from the script as I riff on some themes, but it is guided by these notes.

It may be hard to believe, but I do plan some of my #MooneyOnPolitics #podcasts... and here are my notes for the latest one: New @FiannaFáilParty leader in 2026... not 2027

Change FF leader now... or wait until 2027... or never? Podcast Episode · Mooney on Irish Politics · 23 February · 20m

In this #MooneyOnPolitics #podcast I argue that Fianna Fáil TDs can’t afford to sleepwalk into #2027.

3 Taoisigh in one year (2027) would make the party (and government) look ridiculous.

The spin that a move against Martin needs a challenger is contrary to the rules that @MichealMartinTD himself introduced... rules meant to ensure there could never be a spill (i.e. heave).
