The latest guest on our LoveLaois General Election Podcast is Gary Murphy, the Professor of Politics in DCU who is a regular contributor on various national radio and TV programmes. 

Though he is living and working in Dublin for the best part of 30 years now, his distinctive Cork accent is a staple on the airwaves. 

On top of that he has lectured a remarkable and wide variety of students over the years, including current Minister for Justice Helen McEntee, Oliver Callan and Catriona Perry. 

In this episode he gets into the nitty-gritty of the Laois constituency in this General Election as well as a potted history on TV debates and his view on the role posters play in election campaigns.
