In the first webinar and podcast of this series, we will talk to Neo Gilson about the first elephant in the room: immigration and borders. 

With opinions ranging from "Ireland is full" to "we need to stop the boats," the topic often stirs strong emotions and divides communities. From racist remarks to torn-down tents in Dublin, the elephant that crossed the borders is becoming harder to ignore. Many people, even those disturbed by these actions, find themselves conflicted, asking how we can balance the needs of migrants with the very real crises facing our country, like housing shortages and strained resources.
