Last February the talk in Ireland was of a political earthquake.
The nationalist party Sinn Féin won the most votes in the general
election and promised to smash the status quo. Well, so much for
that. Ireland’s two old established political parties instead
formed a grand coalition and are steering the country through the
Covid-19 crisis and Brexit. HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to
Mary Lou McDonald, the leader of Sinn Féin. Has her party missed
its moment?
