Joining us in our MEP candidate series is first time Green Party Candidate and proud Achill Islander, Saoirse McHugh.

If we can steal a phrase from another MEP candidate (thanks Gary): This isn't about experienced politicians. It's about people who have experienced their politics.

Saoirse explains why she got fed up asking those in power to act in the best of interests of the people they represent and decided to get stuck in herself. We also talk about the need to put food management, biodiversity and a Just Transition as a central pillar across the EU.
