From justice to jobs, here's a run down of the big challenges facing the Dáil in 2017

From a housing crisis, continuing turmoil in our health sector to Trump’s presidency in the US and, of course, Brexit, the potential pitfalls are considerable.

Added to that is the considerable instability which exists not just within Leinster House, but within the ranks of Government.
