Gareth Murray sits down with An Rúnaí Ginearálta Éirígí Mickey Moran, and Pól Ó Scanaill, Chairman of the 1916 Societies, to talk about the ongoing cooperation between Éirígí and the 1916 Societies, the origins of this relationship, the campaigns both organisations are working on together, including the new ‘No More Delays!’ campaign, along with discussing the need to build a new, vibrant and confident Republican Movement.
Gareth Murray sits down with Breandán Mac Cionnaith, a Portadown based Éirígí activist and former spokesperson for the Garvaghy Road Residents Coalition. Breandán was instrumental in putting a stop to Orange Order marches going through his area in the mid-1990s. In this episode, Breandán talks about the Orange Order as Ireland's first hate group, the Garvaghy Road community's fightback against the organisation marching through their area, and what the future holds for an organisation who's ideology has changed little since their foundation in 1795.
Mickey Moran sits down with broadcaster and director, Kevin Brannigan, who's two-part documentary on NORAID airs on RTÉ in the next few days.

Mickey Moran sits down with Joe Mooney, an anti-racist, community activist based in East Wall, Dublin - ground zero of the emergent anti-migrant movement.
