Micheál Martin: A Ghost Story

Oct 9, 2020
53:20

Get our your torches and gather tightly around the campfire girls cause we've got a spooky one tonight: this is the tale of the spectre haunting Ireland. A loyal Fianna Fáil front bencher throughout their most heinous and ghoulish period in Irish history who refuses to give up on the vampiric neoliberalism that caused the Recession, how does our current Taoiseach still paint himself as sort of everyman altar boy figure? Join us for an exploration into Micheál Martin's life as a politician, his gaffes, his policy choices and why he will forever be haunted by the ghosts of 2008.
