Jack Horgan-Jones and Cormac McQuinn join Hugh for our daily discussion of the election campaign:

· With the first week of the general election campaign coming to a close, Fine Gael are making a strong pitch for the law-and-order vote with their campaign promises. Policing and justice seem to be a key area for both Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, but will it mobilise voters?

· Is the cost-of-living crisis being underpriced in this general election campaign? There are plans like phasing out third level fees and the double child benefit payment, but high prices are bad news for politicians, so is enough noise being made about addressing it in the next government?

· Mick Wallace has confirmed that he will run for a seat in a Wexford constituency that will be hard to predict.
