DMG Media Ireland welcomed some of the country’s leading politicians to its Ballsbridge offices ahead of the recent general election to discuss the major issues facing the nation.

Tanaiste Simon Coveney, Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin and Green Party leader Eamon Ryan all spoke to DMG group political editor John Lee about their parties’ respective election commitments as well as their family lives on the eve of the seismic vote.

John Lee also sat down with Ibec chief executive Danny McCoy after polling day to make sense of an election in which Sinn Fein upturned the Fianna Fail-Fine Gael duopoly.
