If you are building a bike shed in the Oireachtas or the new children’s hospital, Ireland is a good place to live. But what about those marginalised who ask: what does Ireland stand for? Whether it is Gaza, Lebanon, housing or asylum seekers, the ruling elite recoils from action that would have meaning.
On Free State, Joe and Dion look at how Ireland is entering a dark place, unable to resist the impulse of right wing movements across Europe of blaming the country’s problems on immigrants and the most in need.
In a political culture driven by opinion polls and giddiness about election dates, will anyone provide the leadership Ireland needs?
Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG Productions.
