Tánaiste Micheál Martin has launched his own podcast with the Fianna Fáil leader adopting the role of interviewer instead of being subjected to his usual grilling as an interviewee.

In his inaugural audiocast, Mr Martin is in conversation with Dr Mark Henry, author of  In Fact: An Optimist’s Guide to Ireland at 100, to discuss how Ireland has developed since the foundation of the State.
