  YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND: Catherine Heaney

  Aug 20, 202643 min

  Democracy is under threat right across the world, certainly in the liberal form that persisted since the end of the Second world war. Donald Trump is leading the charge for a new form of populism and his administration is now providing funds for like minded organisations in Europe. Here, in contrast, a new body has been established to promote democracy and fight mis and dis information. Caradem was co-founded by Simon Coveney, Eamon Gilmore and Catherine Heaney. Catherine, the CEO of Caradem, is this week’s guest on the podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  THE TREATY MAYOR: John Moran

  Aug 13, 202650 min

  It hasn’t been a smooth ride since John Moran was elected Mayor of Limerick, the first such office to be created in a city in the state. He has clashed on a number of occasions with councillors and most recently there has been conflict with traders in the city centre. But there has also been progress in establishing a new form of local government and injecting, as he would have it, new ideas on how a city (and county) should be overseen.  John Moran is this week’s guest on the podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
