Realignment in Ireland

The new coalition Government between historic rivals Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael has changed the political landscape in the Republic of Ireland, but how are the Greens, the minority partners in government, going to fare?

Is the opposition party Sinn Féin set to make further progress and what do these dramatic changes in the south, mean for the politics of the north? Alex Salmond speaks to the Green Party Lord Mayor of Dublin, Hazel Chu, Sinn Féin rising star Eoin Ó Broin, TD (member of parliament), and the doyen of political journalism, Éamonn Mallie, to discuss Ireland's political realignment.

Former First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond hosts a new political chat program, ‘The Alex Salmond Show’, on RT, where he vows to battle the mainstream media narrative and take the news “out of the Westminster nexus.” ‘The Alex Salmond Show’ will take viewers inside the Welsh, Irish and Scottish parliaments, also looking at the government of Northern Ireland, not forgetting Westminster.
