Episode Trump's 'United States of Ireland' in focus as Martin meets Burnham
Donald Trump may be back in the White House following his newsworthy trip to Dublin and Doonbeg, but his spirited call for a united Ireland continues to provoke intrigue.
Micheál Martin may have moved to play down the "overreaction" but the subject will surely be on the agenda when the Taoiseach treks to Manchester for his first meeting with new UK prime minister Andy Burnham later this week.
So, how will both leaders tackle Trump's green-tinted vision? And why was Sinn Féin slow to embrace the scenario?
On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Irish Independent political correspondent Cónal Thomas, and by The Guardian chief reporter Daniel Boffey to assess the chaos Donald Trump has left in his wake, and just how much of a clean-up job the Taoiseach has on his hands.
