The Week in Politics

"The Week in Politics" is an Irish news and current affairs show airing on RTÉ One and RTÉ News Now. Hosted primarily by Sean O'Rourke, with occasional appearances by David McCullagh or Bryan Dobson, the program originally launched in 1996 with Geraldine Harney and Seán Duignan as presenters. Each episode reviews the week's political developments through interviews and discussions, often featuring Teachta Dálaí (TDs) or Irish Senators as guests. It airs live at noon on Sundays, with repeats later in the day on RTÉ News Now and its former late-night timeslot on RTÉ One-a schedule that changed in January 2013 when the show moved to midday. The program also includes reports from RTÉ News and Current Affairs journalists.
