Independents’ Day
9.35pm RTÉ One
Across the country, politicians are starting to gear up for the General Election. They all want your vote and many want to govern. But the face of Irish politics is starting to change: hoping to cash in on a wave of support for independents and others, many of the formerly independent TDs in the Dáil are coming together to form alliances and even new parties. This much-anticipated documentary asks what role these groups will play in a new Dáil. Presenter Pat Leahy (pictured) investigates just who are the independents. Why have we seen a surge in favour of them in opinion polls over recent years? Why are they now deciding to coalesce? And crucially, how, if elected, would they govern our country?
