Former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar spoke to Matt Cooper on the ‘Path to Power’ podcast recently, and this is what he had to say about the relationship between urban and rural areas:

"We’re the ones paying all the bills — you’re the ones in receipt of a lot of subsidies and a lot of tax benefits that other people don’t get.”

Can you understand just why they’ve caused such controversy? Is there a rural versus urban divide in Ireland?

Joining Andrea to discuss is Eddie Punch former General Secretary of ICSA and now Columnist for the Farming Independent, Jacqueline Hogge, Rural Affairs Investigative Reporter with the Farmers Journal, Independent Economist Jim Power and more.
