A rift between Michael and Danny Healy Rae was once unthinkable, but in common with other small parties before them, the Healy Rae machine has fallen victim to the perils of Government.
As Mick Clifford wrote in today's Irish Examiner, \"The Healy-Raes, that most astute of political entities, have succumbed to the curse of Brendan Behan. They are the latest victims of 'The Split'.\"
How is the split being received in Leinster House? What does the political future hold for the next generation of Healy Raes? And how now will Kerry fare in the halls of power?
Mick Clifford and Louise Burne join Deirdre O'Shaughnessy to discuss the fallout from the Healy Rae row in this special bonus episode.
