"the State of the Place" Panel

Docs Ireland Podcast

Irish civil rights leader Bernadette McAliskey, former PUP press officer Sophie Long, columnist & editor of ‘Repeal the 8th’ Una Mulally and writer, broadcaster Paul Gosling join moderator, journalist and writer Susan McKay, to consider the state of the place, in our State of the Nation panel.

Northern Ireland is in the eye of the political storm; this tiny region and its irreconcilable border has both the UK and EU over a barrel in the Brexit process.

What does the Irish border now mean, for the people of the north and south? What would a border along the Irish Sea mean for Unionists in NI? We look at the arguments from a historical, political, cultural and economic point of view and look to the future of the island of Ireland.
