Saving Culture welcomes Ian O'Doherty, a longtime Irish journalist who writes for the Irish Independent and the Spectator. Our conversation delves into the recent Irish general election, exploring voter sentiment characterised by anger and apathy, the evolving identity of Sinn Féin, the housing crisis exacerbated by immigration policies, and the rise of independent parties like Aontu. It also discusses the political landscape in Dublin, the impact of immigration on Irish society, and the role of media in shaping public perception. The discussion concludes with reflections on the future of Irish politics and the challenges ahead.
