Show notes

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham rules out a United Ireland referendum; John Deasy and Lise Hand join Matt to discuss the Sinn Féin reaction, how happy Taoiseach Micheál Martin is likely to be at the development - given that he recently described the idea of a border poll as driving him bananas - and how much interest there genuinely is amongst Southern Irish voters in the prospects of a referendum. Also, they discuss the Dáil's recall to deal with the issue of excise on fuels and ask whether the deferral will be extended in November. They look at the political implications and reasons for doing this, as well as the budgetary implications.
