On today's show Aidan Barry discusses the political landscape of rural Ireland as Michael Fitzmaurice, a TD from Roscommon Galway, believes that the day is over for solo independents and starts a campaign for a political party. He claims that the government only focuses on the interests of people living in urban areas. Also in the show, we take a look at the items that will be auctioned off for the Buccaneers Rugby Club, which include a pair of shorts worn and signed by Paul Mescal and a vasectomy procedure. We also talk about the development of a new housing package by the government to incentivize the construction of affordable homes and address the rising cost of construction.
