The Week in Politics
The Week in Politics is an Irish news and current affairs programme broadcast on RTÉ One and RTÉ News Now. It is presented by Áine Lawlor, occasionally by David McCullagh or Bryan Dobson. In its original format in 1996 it was hosted by Caroline Erskine and Seán Duignan.
The programme reflects on the political week, with interviews and discussions. The majority of guests are politicians who are Teachtaí Dála or Irish Senators. The programme is broadcast live at noon on Sunday and is repeated throughout the day
