With an election looming in February, are we on the verge of having a Sinn Féin Tánaiste and Ministers in government?

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has said that he doesn't trust Sinn Féin in terms of government, while Taoiseach Leo Varadkar previously stated that he would "rather bring the wolves back to Ireland" than allow Sinn Féin into government.

To debate this we were joined by Gary Murphy from the School of Law and Government at DCU, academic and author Dr Jennifer Kavanagh, Sinn Féin housing spokesperson and Dublin Mid-West TD Eoin Ó Broin, and Fianna Fáil education spokesperson and Meath East TD Thomas Byrne.
