With the Climate Emergency now somewhat overshadowed by the plethora of other concerning events in the world. I thought it would be worth reminding people of the scale of the crisis that faces us in the form of our climate. To do this I sat down with Rabharta Glas (Green-Left) member Tadhg Murphy and Journalist with Meath Live and the College View Christine O Mahony to discuss the upcoming Fridays For Our Future Global Strike and the broader Climate Crisis.

In this Episode as the anniversary of the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty and the events such as the Irish civil war which followed it, takes place this year.
