How Ireland Voted is a regular publication featuring academic analysis of Irish elections. The analysis suggests a major leftward shift in Irish politics over the past decade. Why has this happened, and who is filling the gap this move has left on the right of the political spectrum? Gail and Theresa Reidy, who edited the book, talk to Hugh Linehan and Pat Leahy about what the analysis tells us about Irish politics. Theresa Reidy is a professor in the Department of Government and Politics at University College Cork.
