People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd Barrett and Independent TD Mattie McGrath joined Andrea to discuss a tweet put up by Aodhan O’Riordan that outlined how much of a part religious tradition exists in Irish life.

Aodhan explained that he had worked in the public service for 22 years as a teacher, principal and Oireachtas member and, every single work day had begun with a prayer. Andrea asked her guests if our state buildings should be more secular in a multicultural Ireland.
