  • Plantation and conquest of Ireland top class

    Other top rated podcasts skirt around imperial misdeeds closer to home, the Irish Passport has dug right in with the ongoing series on the plantation of Ireland and the realities of conquest by the English/ British. Well worth a listen for this series alone.

Election Breakdown 2024: More of the Same, Please
Q: Given that there are a number of things in Ireland that people are clearly unhappy about, like unaffordable housing and the cost of living in general, why was Fianna Fáil, Finna Gael, not punished more as the incumbents that didn't make significant progress in these areas since 2020?
