JOE chats

Enda Coll sits down with Barry Heneghan to chat about his time on the Flotilla to Occupied Gaza, being intercepted by the Israeli forces and the impact the story has on progressing the Palestinian cause. They discuss his role in government, why he voted for the government's amendment to the Occupied Territories Bill, why he regrets it and why he doesn't regret supporting Fine Gael and Fianna Fail to get into government.

This is a chat between our very own Ross McCarney and Tadhg Hickey. Tadhg is a comedian and activist who has been very vocal on the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Tadhg most recently was on one of the flotillas that tried to bring aid into the occupied Gaza and was intercepted and arrested by the Israeli forces. Along with five other Irish citizens, he was held in what he said was basically a Guantanamo-style prison, before they were eventually released and returned safely home to Dublin. In this chat, Tadhg tells us about his time on the flotilla, the fear of being captured and the ongoing issues in Gaza and Palestine. Listeners should be warned that this episode does contain topics that they might find disturbing.  Hosted on Acast.

We speak with Irish presidential candidate Catherine Connolly. We look at the shape of Ireland, the involvement of younger people in politics, the Occupied Territories Bill, Irish neutrality and the triple lock. Catherine also speaks about the importance of the Irish language, and why it's important to have women in politics and in the public eye. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
