The Global Gael - Mary Lou McDonald's Message To The Irish Abroad

Tipped as a possible leader of the next Irish government, Sinn Féin president Mary Lou McDonald jumped at the chance to join the Global Gael to talk about what our diaspora means to her and her party - and what them being in government might mean for us. In a wide-ranging - and very different - conversation we talked about emigration, housing, voting rights for those of us abroad and why, despite the dreadful situation in Palestine, her party still wants to meet American representatives in Washington during the St. Patrick's Day festivities.
