Kelly Earley is a writer who I was previously familiar with via her very unserious contributions to the Daily Edge (we worked there at different times) and generally gas posts on social media. Last week, though, she wrote something serious in response to what was happening in Coolock. Kelly is from Coolock, and felt like there was significant context being left out of the conversation. I caught up with her this week to discuss some of the challenges many people from areas like Coolock face when it comes to personal development, how the far right take advantage of that, and what could be done to improve things.
