Programme 256, John Walshe on Education Journalism and Politics (18-5-16)

Presented and produced by Seán Delaney. On this week's programme I speak to John Walshe who spent many years as education editor for the Irish Independent and was also special adviser to Ruairí Quinn when he was minister for education and skills. He authored a book about his experience as special adviser titled An Education: How an outsider became an insider - and learned what really goes on in Irish government.
