THE STATE OF THE NATION

Four towering figures from Irish history meet to play poker in the afterlife. As the game draws on the conversation hots up - covering topics from 1916 to civil war politics, water charges to Brexit. Just what do Thomas Davis, Jim Larkin, Michael Collins and Charlie Haughey make of the current State Of The Nation?

The show also features a staged reading of The Fund, winner of the 3rd prize in the 2015 RTE Radio One PJ O Connor awards and broadcast on RTE Radio One Drama On One.
