.wpedon-container .wpedon-select, .wpedon-container .wpedon-input { width: 170px; min-width: 170px; max-width: 170px; } In this Reboot Republic podcast, Rory talks to writer & actor, Clare Dunne. Clare co-wrote, and starred in, the award winning film, Herself (2020), in Kin, and in many other TV & Theatre productions. This is an open, inspiring engaging discussion about where Ireland is today, our values, history, trauma and hope in new action for change. We talk about Clare's motivation to engage in social issues, and researching and the story behind Herself, where a young mother, Sandra, escapes her abusive husband and fights back against a broken housing system. She sets out to build her own home, and in the process rebuilds her life and rediscovers herself. And how we can, through positive action and conversation, end homelessness and the housing crisis.

We talk about children and families in homelessness, the trauma and state failure, how we cannot accept these levels of child homelessness as normal, the importance of a referendum on a right to housing, mental health and children, therapy in schools, disabled children and services. We also discuss the individual pathologising of children around mental health, rather than looking at what is wrong with our economic system and society - that doesnt value care and wellbeing, just profit. We also highlight how refugee children should not be subject to even more trauma from protests being organised by the far right, and the need to tackle homelessness and housing with real urgency.

In this Reboot Republic podcast, Rory talks to Emily Duffy, Director of Parable Grassroots communications, about how to talk about messages and ideas, such as we can provide homes for all, and thus undercut and challenge the 'house our own first' and other far-right narratives blaming immigrants and asylum seekers for the housing crisis. We discuss the need for communications, thinking about metaphors and deep seated values and messages that can connect with people, an alternative vision, connecting with values, and community, and for anger and action aimed at the actual causes of the housing crisis (Government policy of austerity and abandoning communities and social housing, private hoarding and profiteering), and the need to start with shared values and providing hope and solutions. And of course this requires taking action - join in solidarity with East Wall for All, and on housing with Raise the Roof, CATU, and other groups taking action on housing.

Rory, Aisling Bruen, care worker and advocate, and Peter Lane from EPIC, Empowering People in Care, talk about the experience of young people in and leaving care, and how the current housing crisis has affected the care system. As we know, care-leavers and children about to leave care have been at the acute end of the housing crisis and the system is regarded by many as being under unprecedented pressure. In this important and timely conversation, we hear the views of people who really know how the system works and we hear some ideas about how we need to improve it.
