Description

Reboot Republic is the innovative Podcast that delves beyond the headlines and soundbites and pulls up the roots of our Social Crises to unearth progressive solutions. We talk to world leading experts, politicians, activists and everyday change-makers. This not about tinkering around the edges. Hosted by Lecturer of Social Policy in Maynooth University and Social Justice Campaigner, Dr Rory Hearne and independent podcast nerd Tony Groves, we look beyond the political speak for real, globally tried and tested solutions. Reboot Republic aims to be the podcast for an optimistic and inclusive future and not the polarised present. There is another way. Listen, share and join in our conversation as we start a new journey

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack In this Reboot Republic Rory talks with Abdullah Al Bayyari, an Irish born Palestinian doctor working in Galway, who for years has been an activist and advocate for the Palestinian voice in Ireland and his community. 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.

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack In this Reboot Republic Podcast, Rory talks about the rise of the far right in Europe and its roots in the cuts to public services, with Professor Catherine De Vries, Dean of international affairs and Professor of Political Science at Bocconi University in Milan. Professor De Vries sets out how recent electoral inroads in Europe for the far right reflect public dislike of government cuts in public services, and trying to defeat the far-right by taking a tougher line on migration would be a mistake, based on wrong lessons drawn from the far right’s rise. Immigration motivates a hard core of far-right voters. But an important driver of the far right’s current success is the centre right’s hollowing out of public services through austerity. Attempts to get tougher on migration will do little to reverse the far right’s advances.
