On the final episode of series 1, we are joined by Dr Laura McAtackney from UCC Archaeology and Dr Patrick Bresnihan from Maynooth Geography. They talk to us about connections and similarities between Ireland/Northern Ireland and Palestine, colonialism, the Great Famine and the current forced starvation in Gaza, and the intersection between US-Israeli goods, Irish economics, neutrality, NATO and the Triple Lock.
