(recorded Jun 18th) Joining me to discuss the end of this Dáil term is independent TD, Catherine Connolly. We had a lot to cover from her viral comments regarding the Confidence Vote, the failure to learn from Covid, the Climate Emergency, a deep-dive into housing issues in Galway, the 3three-tier asylum system and her considered thoughts on MEP's Mick Wallace and Clare Daly. This is a broad and at times disheartening conversation on many of the issues facing Ireland and Irish democracy, but it's not without hope. Join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack
