Listeners will be aware of the amount of coverage we've given to CETA, and the ISDS (investor courts) that it signs us up for over the last few years. We have not been shy about our dislike...
So it was a great boost when the case taken against the constitutionality of aspects of the deal by Green Party TD, Patrick Costello's was victorious in the Supreme Court. (would've loved to have seen Leo's face)
Patrick rejoined us to talk about taking the case, the judgement and where to next politically for a deal that is already over 90% implemented.

Ireland’s original independent left leaning news, politics, and culture podcast that doesn’t take itself too seriously and still punches well above its weight. Join critically acclaimed & derided hosts, Martin McMahon and Tony Groves as they delve into the news of the day, pull apart the spin and challenge you to be an activist. This is the non-corporate, ad free, non-plastic-podcast reality that the medium is made for. There will be shenanigans!
