John Reynolds from Maynooth University Department of Law and Colin Coulter from the Department of Sociology have written an essay for Jacobin magazine on Ireland's new coalition government. It traces political developments since the general election in February, through the pandemic, and considers the prospects and pitfalls for the new government on key questions of political economy, climate change and housing. The essay also reflects on the ongoing realignment of Ireland's political fault lines - from the historic partition-based rivalry to a more conventional but more fragmented left-right divide.
