Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack The overwhelming response to the end of 14 years of Tory Party rule seems to be relief. But that's far from the whole picture. To discuss all of this we are rejoined by writer, activist and commentator, Emma DeSouza and Shrapnel cohost Sam Mcilwaine. We look at the implications for the island of Ireland and why we seem to have too much political theatre at the moment and not enough doing the job of governing and improving the lives of citizens.

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack We are bombarded with "we've never had it so good" opinion pieces and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar recently warned against fixing the housing crisis too quickly. So it can be hard to understand why many of us feel poorer than ever. The truth is that inequality is not a bug of our economic system, it's a feature. Rejoining us to talk about inequality, broadening the tax bands, housing costs creating lifestyle chaos and why there are lots of solutions is economist with NERI, Ciaran Nugent. Enjoy. Or at least endure.

In this week's ‘Deep Dive' episode on Northern Ireland protocol, host Chris Wright is joined by Emma DeSouza, writer and commentator for The Irish Times Opinion - and Vice Chair at ‘Votingrights.ie'; John Cotter, Law lecturer at Keele University, barrister and EU legal specialist; and Cathal McCall, professor of Politics and International Relations at Queen's University Belfast and author. The conversation begins with guests reflecting on the 2016 referendum, questioning how Britain arrived at this point, and delving into the many intricacies that came to light early on in the process. The discussion then moves onto “get Brexit done,” as guests analyse the Brexit proceedings so far - sharing their thoughts on the possible implications of a hard border on the island of Ireland, and what this could mean for Irish thinking following the aftermath of The Good Friday Agreement. In the wake of recent mobilisation within Ireland guests ask why issues appear to not be being tackled head on, and debate the arrival of a political tactic, ‘project fear.' Finally, guests chew over the “hasty deal” itself pushed forward by Johnson and Frost - and look towards the future, questioning what this could mean for both Ireland and England on an international stage, with interest brewing in mainland Europe...

We were joined by Emma DeSouza and Sam Mcilwaine to take a deep-dive into the NI, 12th, bonfires and incitement, apathy in the South, inequality, the Northern Ireland protocol and lots more.

We've just finished recording our 40th Live Sunday Special and it was terrific. Joining Martin and Tony were Actor, Writer and Adoption Rights Activist, Noelle Brown, Writer, Leadership Coordinator and Human Rights Activist, Emma DeSouza and Writer, Journalist and Broadcaster, Dawn Foster. Noelle talks us through the latest "update" on the Mother and Baby Homes Report and the retraumatising of the survivors.

Emma DeSouza is from Magherafelt in Co Derry and applied for a residence card for her US-born husband Jake to live and work in Northern Ireland in 2015 - the same year they were married in Belfast. She identified herself as an Irish citizen in the application. Why did she bring a legal case? She took the case after the UK Home Office rejected the application on the basis that it considered DeSouza a British citizen because she was born in Northern Ireland. She was told she could reapply identifying herself as British or renounce her UK citizenship and reapply as an Irish citizen. She claimed she never considered herself British so she could not renounce a citizenship she never had. She later said that she had “discovered that my lifelong Irish identity is evidently considered secondary to an unclaimed British identity.”
