100 days after the election, what's happening with government formation?
00:00
Gavan Reilly, Virgin Media political correspondent and host of On The Record on Newstalk, and TheJournal.ie's political correspondent Christina Finn join us on this week's episode to discuss we still have no government more than 100 days since the general election.We discuss what the main sticking points have been through the talks between Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, and whether we'll definitely see the Green Party joining them to government, as well as examine how a 'caretaker' government works, what role the Seanad plays in all this, and how things might play out for the next few weeks - or months.
