The Pope's visit is edging closer, and the line-up for the commemorative concert in Croke Park has been announced.

Riverdance, Daniel O'Donnell and Nathan Carter are just some of the acts on the bill for the Festival of Families, which is due to attract a crowd of 77,000.

There will also be performances from orchestras, choirs and Irish dancers, and speeches by families from Ireland, Canada, India, Iraq and Africa.

Is it an impressive programme of events, or should there be more contemporary artists to represent the idea of modern Ireland?

Susan Keogh and Daniel McConnell discussed this and some of the other stories making the news this week.
