Episode 3

In 1997 Ireland was a country on the up. The economy was booming, unemployment was tumbling and the Rainbow Coalition was a popular government. Perfect time, surely, for a summer election or would that play into the hands of seasoned campaigner, Bertie Ahern?

Series Overview

2024 was the international year of the election and, with the ink still drying on ballot papers throughout Ireland, this series takes a look back at some of the general elections that shaped Irish society in past fifty years. Vótáil features interviews with journalists and commentators who have lived and loved Irish politics for years. Presented by Cormac Ó hEadhra, the series is a reminder that, for many of us, politics is at its most entertaining at election time.

Episode 2

Episode two of Vótáil doesn’t just have one general election, it has three! And all fought in just 18 months, as two of the stars of 80s politics battled for supremacy – Charlie Haughey and Garret FitzGerald. Political polar opposites, their televised debates were the first in Irish politics and as vicious as any seen since.
