Despite their general importance for understanding the evolution of massive 
galaxies, we still understand relatively little about AGN-driven outflows and 
the impact they have on their host galaxies. Concentrating on samples 
radio-loud AGN, I will review the following aspects: the triggering and 
timing of AGN activity; the link between AGN and starbursts; the observational 
evidence for AGN outflows; and the energetic significance of AGN-induced 
outflows compared with those driven by starbursts.
