The general election campaign is now underway — what happens next?

The Explainer

After weeks of what felt like endless speculation, the Taoiseach Simon Harris finally put us out of our misery last week (with a bit of a jump on him by Micheál Martin) and announced that the election will take place on Friday 29 November. Since then, the posters went up in jig time and every party has been out campaigning with gusto. There’s not a baby not kissed or a chance to jive missed since last week. We're joined by Dr Brendan Flynn, assistant professor and head of discipline in Political Science at the University of Galway, to look at what can we expect between now and the vote itself, what the polls are telling us, and when we might have a new government.
