Our guest this week is Labour Party leader, Ivana Bacik. Ivana discusses her history as a politician, how it dates back to her mother handing out free condoms, Mary Robinson defending her in court and the feminism movement in Trinity. They talk about motherhood in politics and how she strikes a balancing act. And they look at some of the issues in Ireland surrounding motherhood like access to childcare, maternity leave and time off for mothers who suffer a miscarriage.
