Joining Hugh and Cormac McQuinn on today's podcast is Ellen Coyne, the newest member of The Irish Times political team. Together they look back on the week in politics in Ireland and beyond:

- Growing international disquiet over Israel's conduct in Gaza
- Planning exemptions for "granny flats" - can such tinkering make a real difference to the housing crisis?
- The spectacular breakup of Donald Trump and Elon Musk
Plus the panel pick their favourite Irish Times articles on the week, including the impact of Airbnb in rural towns, the dreaded one-star review and a disappearing rainbow crossing.
