Environmental Law & Policy and PhD Researcher in the Sutherland School of Law

in UCD with the

PROPERTY [IN]JUSTICE project led by Amy

Strecker and Amanda Byer. We discuss Sinéad’s political background, her

engagement with Trade Unionism and work with ICTU; environmental campaigning,

how environmentalism has developed in Ireland, and some of the campaigns and

groups that have played a role in that; Sinéad’s previous experience in

environmental law and as a policy researcher with Senator Alice Mary Higgins

and with the Green Party; and the contrast between an environmentalism still

embedded in colonialism and capitalism and a genuinely transformative socialist

environmentalism and Just Transition.

“Four Case Studies on Just Transition: Lessons for Ireland”, can be found on the National Economic and Social Council (NESC) website

. The discussion also mentions Adrian Kane’s book,

Trade Unions

, published by Cork University Press
