Episode Pat Rabbitte: 'you’re not going to get a broad left alliance'
Last week Pat Leahy sat down with former Labour leader Pat Rabbitte for an interview about his life in politics.
Rabbitte is now retired but for decades he was one of the most recognisable faces and voices of centre left politics in Ireland.
As a minister in the 2011 Fine Gael-Labour coalition, he witnessed first hand the events explored in our recent mini series on the subject.
He talked about the decisions he made as party leader and as a minister, as well as his formative years in the west of Ireland and 1960s America, and what he thinks of today’s splintered centre-left.
