Mayo politics podcast returns for second season

Local politics enthusiasts in Mayo have reason to celebrate as the popular podcast All Ireland Whingers returns for its second season.

Hosted by Aidan Crowley, with regular contributor Caoimhín Rowland, the podcast kicks off its latest series by focusing on the upcoming general election, which has been a hot topic throughout the county.

In its previous season, All Ireland Whingers explored the key political events surrounding the European Parliamentary and local elections, providing in-depth coverage of the campaigns and outcomes.

The first episode of this season delves into the current political landscape in Mayo, particularly addressing the recent announcement of long-serving Fine Gael TD Michael Ring’s retirement.

Speculation is already rife about who will step up to fill the veteran TD’s shoes.

Fianna Fáil is set to hold its convention this evening, with Fine Gael following suit next week. These events have fuelled speculation that a general election might be on the horizon before the year’s end, despite An Taoiseach Simon Harris insisting the government will serve its full term until March.

Listeners can tune in to All Ireland Whingers on Spotify and Apple Podcasts to stay up to date on Mayo's political scene.
