We discuss the core problem of Government promoted financialisation of housing and we also outline solutions - reintroduce the eviction ban to stop people being made homeless, and invest in the state capacity to deliver social and affordable housing.

In this Reboot Republic Rory talks to NERI economist Ciaran Nugent about the generational and social divide in Ireland - on housing, rent, employment - but also the on-going cost of living crisis and deprivation figures, including arrears on utility bills, while others are going on their second ski holiday this year. Ireland we have an inequality problem - but why does no one want to talk about it. Shamim Malekmian on our broken asylum system:https://www.patreon.com/posts/patron-exclusive-101051238

He tells his own story of his pride in Ireland's support for Palestine and he outlines the horrendous situation facing his family in Gaza. We discuss the importance and power of continuing to protest in solidarity with Gaza, to provide hope, to change the narrative, to give people a collective connection and giving the leadership so lacking from Governments in demanding an immediate end to the Genocide being committed by Israel to the people of Gaza. Please join the protest this Saturday March 23rd 1pm at the Garden of Remembrance. Hope to see you there.

We discuss her fascinating ERC-funded project, Beyond Opposition, which seeks to explore the everyday experiences of people who are opposed to, or have concerns about, legislative and cultural changes around same sex marriage, abortion, gender self-identification and other sexual and gender equalities. The project also explores how we might address the social polarisation that has emerged between people occupying different standpoints on sexual and gender rights. Kath’s work probes what it means for feminist/LGBT+ movements ‘when we feel both under threat and simultaneously we are gaining some forms of power?’. In our conversation, Kath discusses the heterogeneity among those opposed to different forms of gender/LGBT+ equalities; the ways in which they experience public space now that they can no longer assume that their views are widely accepted; the ethical and emotional aspects of doing research with people opposed to your very way of being; and the potential for radical empathy. Kath’s research also questions some of the unintended consequences of some LGBT+ activism, and asks how, if at all, we might overcome some of the social polarisation that defines contemporary politics and social life.

So you knew that we were going to sit down and ask him all about it. We discuss his reasons for getting into party politics, the type of tradeoffs that might be required of him, why the Soc Dems and not Sinn Féin, the values that he wants to put at the heart of his campaign and the future of Reboot Republic.
