Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Behind The Glitter: The Truth About Stripping, Burlesque & Shame
Q: Okay. So for my Healing Gals listeners, why don't you explain who you are and kind of what you do so they know why we're speaking?
Daria shares that she is a professional burlesque performer and pole dancer who grew up as a dancer, trained in Dublin and New York, and later pivoted to burlesque and production work in Drogheda to build a local, supportive cabaret scene.
S6 Ep 2: Healing Our Politics with Dee Makofane
Q: What distinguishes left-leaning parties in Ireland from the traditional two-party dynamic?
Dee explains that left-leaning parties must navigate multiple small parties and transfers, differences in policy emphasis (housing, healthcare, climate), and how coalition dynamics are shifting with recent leadership and strategic campaigns like Keep Left.
S6 Ep 2: Healing Our Politics with Dee Makofane
Q: Could you explain how the Irish political system functions for newcomers?
Dee outlines the general election cadence, the proportional representation system, how TDs are elected, and how coalitions form in practice, including the role of independents and the bargaining that leads to a government.
S5 Ep6 Women, Safety & The Law
Q: What should someone consider as first steps when thinking about divorce and asset separation?
The suggested approach is to pursue mediation or counselling first; if not possible, aim for an agreed division of assets to avoid costly court battles, recognizing housing market realities and the financial consequences of separating households.
S5 Ep6 Women, Safety & The Law
Q: For women who might be unfamiliar with how the Irish legal system works, can you give an overview of how the family law system operates in Ireland?
Terry explains that there are protective orders and safety orders available in the district court, with ex parte initial orders followed by a hearing where the accused is heard; the system generally supports women who report abuse, and organizations like Women's Aid assist with applications and processes.
