In today’s episode of the Irish Times Inside Politics podcast, Political Editor Pat Leahy talks to his colleagues Harry McGee and Cormac McQuinn about the controversy around the planned appointment of Dr Tony Holohan to a position at Trinity College Dublin, which has raised awkward questions for Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly and his Secretary General extraordinaire, Robert Watt.
