TCD protest marks a famous victory for student politics

Hugh Linehan is joined by Harry McGee and Jennifer Bray to discuss the week in politics:

• This week saw a rare and notable victory for student politics at Trinity College Dublin, where protestors secured a victory in their campaign for the college to divest from companies linked to Israel.
• Meanwhile the Government’s moves towards recognising Palestinian statehood are still underway.
• The asylum seeker accommodation crisis trundles on.
• It is a month out from the European elections and Jennifer and Harry have their ear to the ground. Could high-profile first-timers like Ciaran Mullooly and Niall Boylan claim seats in Strasbourg at the expense of more established politicians?

And the panel pick their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:

• Patrick Freyne reviewing Jennifer’s favourite TV show.
• Laura Slattery’s excellent live coverage of Bambi Thug’s quest for Eurovision glory.
• Barry Roche on the many outstanding mysteries surrounding American passport fraudster Randolph Kirk Parker, who was arrested in Cork last year.
