UofG Spotlight

In conversation with Mary McAleese


Listen Later

Our Spotlight: On the Election mini-series has wrapped up and we're returning to season three for the final episode of the season.

In this episode, host Graeme Roy is joined by former President of Ireland Professor Mary McAleese. Graeme and Mary talk about building bridges - the hallmark of her presidency from 1997 to 2011 - and how she took that philosophy and turned it into action.

They discuss social justice, the health of democracy and political leadership in Europe, taking the long view in policymaking and much, much more.
