Jennifer Bray and Pat Leahy join Hugh to talk about Simon Harris's appointment as Taoiseach and the details of his minimal Cabinet reshuffle. Did he go far enough to satisfy Fine Gaelers, or voters looking for change?

But first they discuss the news that the reconstituted Government's first act will be to recognise the statehood of Palestine.
