It was a pleasure to be joined on the tortoise shack by human rights campaigner, proud Traveller and activist, Rose Marie Maughan, to hear about the reality behind the shocking quality of life statistics that she shares as part of her activism.
We discuss how Traveller children are traumatised by the education system and decades of neglect. We discuss the fatigue and frustration of having to continue to reach out to others who have preconceived ideas about you and your community. Rose Marie talks about the need for really allyship and people power that will raise up all marginalised groups in our society. Please have a listen.

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!
