What do the young people of Ireland want? General Election special with Jenny Maguire

What is important to our young people as we head to the polls for the General Election? Jenny Maguire is the President of Trinity College Dublin Students’ Union, a union which represents nearly 20,000 students.  This episode discusses the power of political movements, transgender healthcare, how the Irish language is high on the list of priorities for students, and leveraging your Irishness for comedic effect. Jenny shares her experiences as a trans woman in Dublin attending an all-boys school, why transgender healthcare in Ireland is one of the worst in the EU, and why Irish people shouldn’t take themselves too seriously.
