Ep 132 Tanaiste Frances Fitzgerald & Sarah Maria Griffin

July 19, 2017

Feminists Are Everywhere in the title of the annual event held by the National Women's Council in Dublin. And we really are everywhere - even in Dail Eireann. (Hi, Leo!) In this episode we hear from one of the feminists who addressed that event last month, Tanaiste Frances Fitzgerald who spoke about the challenges and milestones when it comes to women in Irish society. And going further afield, we listen in on a recent Irish Abroad event, where returned Irish emigrant and author of Spare and Found Parts, Sarah Maria Griffin, talked about coming home to Irish Times journalist Ciara Kenny.
