Síológ | Ep. 2: Oisín O'Connor talks about being booed for saying "Climate", Motorway Madness, and Why Councils Lack Funding for Infrastructure Projects

from Síológ: An Óige Ghlas Podcast

From climate action getting booed at public meetings to why Danish cities can build trams while Irish councils are left begging for funding, this episode pulls back the curtain on how Irish politics actually works (and why it often doesn't). Councillor Oisín O'Connor chats with Tony from the Young Greens about the reality of being a councillor in 2025, explains why most "green" policies are just good policies in disguise, and reveals his ambitious plan to solve the housing crisis by forcing every council to build around train stations. Whether you're politically minded or just curious about how decisions get made in your community, this is an honest, engaging chat about the challenges facing Ireland – and why local democracy might be the key to fixing them.
