- How Taoiseach Simon Harris addressed the country.
- Even before the Dáil’s dissolution, poster wars had begun on lamp-posts all across Ireland.
- Mary Lou McDonald spoke about Sinn Féin’s strategy for this campaign, to a soundtrack of Damien Dempsey.
- How the bigger political news of this week - Donald Trump’s reelection - could impact this campaign.
