We were delighted to be joined in the tortoise shack by Europe Correspondent for Euro News, Shona Murray. We talked Covid and the EU response, the breakdown of EU/UK relations and the vaccine rollout. Shona tells us about the EU relief fund and how Ireland's impressive GDP numbers haven't gone unnoticed in many EU States.

This is a great insight into the politics and geopolitics of the EU and we're very grateful to Shona for giving up her time when she was supposed to be hanging out with her partner and son.
