Nastiness

The world of Irish politics has changed. There's more personal abuse and stress on public representatives - both inside and outside Leinster House - than ever before. One young politician described being physically sick at "the level of nastiness" directed at her. It’s feared this could damage Irish democracy by discouraging new candidates. We examine the mental health and well-being of Irish Politicians and look around the world to possible solutions. Narrated and produced by Ronan Kelly (2024)
