'Nobody's brave enough to put their name to it' - Helen McEntee on maternity leave criticism and retaking the reins at Justice
b'
In a wide-ranging interview in today\'s Irish Times, Minister for Justice Helen McEntee talks about remarks critical of her taking maternity leave while in office, the stint by Cabinet colleague Simon Harris in her job and her future ambitions. And on today\'s podcast Jack Horgan-Jones and Jennifer Bray listen back to excerpts from the interview and apply some political analysis.
But first, Jack and Jen threaten to establish a new world order in the absence of Hugh Linehan and the rest of the politics team, before settling down into a discussion of RTE\'s terrible week, as the broadcaster\'s top brass endured grillings in front of two Oireachtas committees over secret payments to Ryan Tubridy. Has the management team been irreparably damaged by its association with the week\'s events?
