Politics Weekly podcast: Ireland's election; and the value of opinion polls

Ireland is set to elect Fine Gael's Enda Kenny as its next Taoiseach in the process ejecting the ruling Fianna Fail from power. Kenny tells us he's undaunted by the job of rebuilding Ireland's wrecked economy. Henry McDonald , the Guardian's Ireland correspondent, is in Dublin. He says that the likeliest outcome is still a coalition between Fine Gael and Labour. On hand to give their analysis in the studio we have the Guardian's Martin Kettle and YouGov president Peter Kellner . Also this week: back in the UK, Labour are ahead in all recent polls - but how important are these figures at this stage of the political cycle? And with the referendum on the voting system 10 weeks away, public opinion appears to be split. And as Conservative MP Rebecca Harris tables a private members bill calling for an extension of British Summer Time - should the government legislate for longer evenings?
