Fuel Protests, The National Ambulance Service, and Catherine Connolly's First Council of State Meeting

from Politea with Dee · host Dee Makofane

In this episode, I break down the fuel protests, the government’s no‑confidence vote including Michael Healy Rae’s shocking resignation, and the public letter released by three Fianna Fáil TDs calling out their party. I also get into the Social Democrats’ call for stronger solar supports, and Catherine Connolly’s move to convene the Council of State over the new international protection Bill. Lastly, I discuss the potential for a National Ambulance Service strike, and misogyny within the service.
