Rob O’Donnell is an exciting new voice on the Irish political scene. He’s a Green Party candidate for Limerick County.

In this episode, we chat about climate change and our supposed grá for the land (road frontage etc.!), about local politics and the shift we’re noticing in how people perceive rural Ireland and the Irish language since the pandemic.

Rob also spent time volunteering in the West Bank. It’s where he met his Palestinian dog, Yasser. We chat about his time there and the human rights abuses he witnessed by the Israeli settlers against the Palestinians.
