US debate, Apple bonanza, Fine Gael get thinking
Description
Jack Horgan-Jones and Cormac McQuinn join Pat Leahy to talk about three big political stories of the day.
First they analyse last night's debate between US presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. It was a battle Harris is widely considered to have won, but will it make an impact?
Next the final judgement on the €13 billion plus interest of Apple tax that Ireland can, indeed must now collect. What will the Government do with this bounty?
Finally, today is day one of the Fine Gael think-in. The party has enjoyed the benefit of political momentum since Varadkar departed and Simon Harris took the reins - but is it ready for a general election?
