Appearance on RTÉ’s The Week in Politics
I appeared on RTÉ’s show The Week in Politics after 12 with David McCullagh to discuss Seanad 100 launching on Tuesday with the father of the Seanad, Senator David Norris, and former Senator and President of Ireland, Mary Robinson. We discussed the 1st Seanad 100 years ago and the Seanad as a space for Minority Voices, Major Change.
“Minority Voices, Major Change” is the theme of Seanad 100. The creators of the 1st Seanad ensured it was a place for unionist and other minority communities who found themselves in the new State. Over time, it evolved to give different minorities & communities a forum for their views.
