Episode: Exploring the Politics and Political Parties of Ireland
Description: Considering how close links are between Wales and Ireland in terms of history, trade, and culture, the low levels of knowledge about our respective political parties and their traditions is, perhaps, surprising.
In this episode we speak with Cardiff-based researcher and journalist Lila Haines about her new book 'Radicals and Realists: Political Parties in Ireland' and try to explore the similarities and differences between the national politics on each side of the Celtic sea.
