Catch Up with Louise McSharry
Catch Up with Catherine Connolly
Ep. 348
•
This week I had the opoprtunity to spend some time with independent presidential candidate Catherine Connolly, and I really enjoyed learning more about her and why she decided to seek the role of Uachtarán na hÉireann. We discuss some of the challenges facing Ireland at the moment, her early life growing up in social housing as one of fourteen, and why she thinks you should vote for her.
Unfortunately, the table our microphones were on was a little wobbly which occasionally resulted in a little bump, but hopefully that's not too distracting.
