Show notes

RTÉ management is accused of "creative accounting", with their top 10 list of high earners described as a "a waste of space" at the Oireachtas Media Committee. 


Plus, the government is accused of "sleeveen politics" but insists the sharp spike in rents linked to tenancy rule changes will lead to increased rental supply. 


And, "appalled and shocked" - the Minister for Foreign Affairs demands the "immediate release" of Irish flotilla activists after a video emerges of Israel's national security minister mocking detainees.


Guest presenter Fionnán Sheahan was joined by:


Micheál Carrigy TD, Fine Gael & Chair of Housing Committee

Eoin Ó Broin TD, Sinn Féin Housing Spokesperson

Claire Scott, Political Correspondent, Sunday Times Ireland

Shane Ross, author and former Minister
