Catch Up with Louise McSharry
Arson Attacks, a Referendum Explainer, and all the Grammy Gossip
*Send me your thoughts, opinions and suggestions via voicenote to 0892096423*
This week I start with a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! EXCITING! Then we get into the news. Myself and Carl Kinsella chat through the latest in Gaza, anti-immigration arson attacks, and the first case of a parent being charged as a result of their child's role in a school shooting. Then I'm joined by Sinead O'Carroll, editor of TheJournal.ie, to attempt to bring clarity to the referendums we're going to be voting on in a few weeks. What exactly are we being asked, and what are the arguments surrounding them? I hope this neutral chat will help you feel empowered to have your say. Finally, myself and Cian Sullivan have an absolute ball chatting through the pop culture stories of the week including the Grammys (Taylor and Miley and Jay-Z, oh my) and the Jacob Elordi assault allegations. This is a good one, if I do say so myself.
The article Sinead mentions can be found here.
The exact wording of the referendums can be found here.
