After 45 years in Laois County Council, Willie Aird was elected to Dáil Éireann in December 2024 and has now a year under his belt as a TD.
He sits down with us for a chat on the experience so far, getting used to the workings in Leinster House, what it’s like being a TikTok star and how he has adjusted his farming life with his new role.
Plus, he chats about the next General Election, the popularity of the Healy-Raes and occasionally getting on the wrong side of the Ceann Comhairle.
