The first (and probably last) Free State Live show will take place at Vicar Street on Dec 14th, with special guest, James McClean and much more. Tickets are available here - https://www.ticketmaster.ie/free-state-with-joe-brolly-and-dion-fanning-tickets/artist/5770194. </p><p><br></p><p>When Simon Harris spoke at the Fine Gael Ard fheis he was pandering to those in his party who say it needs a clear identity.</p><p><br></p><p>But what was it really about?
