Lucinda Creighton: “That meltdown for Fine Gael in 2002 created massive opportunity for young up-and-coming prospective politicians like myself.”

A trained barrister she later left Fine Gael and founded the political party Renua. She talks to Sam Smyth about the highs and lows of her political career and her reaction to the recent election. She also talks about setting up her own business Vulcan Consulting, her views on Brexit and who she believes will ultimately emerge as Taoiseach in the coming weeks.
