Show 157 - Claire Hanna

Once again, a major crisis has added implications for the people of Ireland. Against the backdrop not just of Brexit, but a resurrected Assembly in the north and coalition negotiations after an election in the Republic, how differently is the crisis being handled in different parts of the island? What are the implications of the changing political situations either side of the border and what are the political implications of the crisis? Claire Hanna is the recently elected SDLP MP for Belfast South and has served as an MLA and councillor. She gives her unique insight into all these issues and more, in this hugely informative and ultimately hopeful interview.
