Here’s How, the Irish current affairs podcast presented by journalist William Campbell, speaks with Sinn Féin’s Dublin Rathdown candidate Sorcha Nic Cormaic; Fine Gael’s Galway West-South Mayo candidate, Seán Kyne TD; and Fianna Fáil’s Kerry candidate John Brassil.

William writes:

Better late than never, three of the four big parties finally came through with interviewees. They all get a grilling on the Bumper Election Special of the Here’s How podcast, except the Labour Party who didn’t show up. Go figure.

*At 35.27 Mr Kyne is asked about the appropriateness of former Fine Gael Environment Minister Phil Hogan’s decision to cancel inquiries into planning corruption.
