On this week's episode of the podcast, we listen back to a panel from the Economic Outlook Forum, held on November 5 in the Mansion House. Daniel McConnell and Aaron Rogan reflect on the "How Ireland is actually run and by whom?" panel discussion with Rossa Fanning, attorney general; Robert Watt, chief executive of the Dublin City Development Company; and Ivana Bacik, leader of the Labour Party. The panel covers the role of regulation in the pace at which the government can deliver key infrastructure. Watt lends his thoughts on the Department of Finance as the "ministry of no". The panel discuss the role of special advisers and the importance of the relationship between an adviser and their minister. Daniel asks the group to explain how the government prioritises legislation and Fanning explains his role in the process as attorney general.
