Catch Up with Louise McSharry

Today's guest is Deputy Mary Lou McDonald, TD for Dublin Central and leader of Sinn Fein. I was so grateful to her for generously giving me her time to chat about her childhood, her background, how she came to Sinn Fein and where she sees things going for the party as well as what an Ireland with a Sinn Fein government might look like. I hope you enjoy.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes, join the community on Patreon here.
