PSC: Compulsory or Mandatory? Housing Out Of Hand, Strategic Communications
Published 8 years, 6 months ago
Description
From E-voting to water charges, there have been plenty of examples of governments getting into hot water over a 'sensible' plan emanating from the civil service. Could the controversial Public Services Card become another example? Or is it a summer story? Far from being a summer story, the housing crisis is very real. It's an acute problem with no short-term solution - the stuff of political nightmares and a major potential liability for Fine Gael. Finally, a look at the modern PR stylings of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar. Should he be replying to George Hook's criticisms on Twitter? And what exactly is the "Strategic Communciations Office"?Today's panel is hosted by Hugh Linehan, with Pat Leahy and Sarah Bardon.
