Podcasts about Una Mullally

Today's episode is a discussion with writer and journalist Una Mullally about artist boycotts, solidarity, Palestine, Israel, protest, cancellation, capitalism and the music industry. We talk about how Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people has become a flashpoint of awareness about how modern music festivals work, specifically how private equity which invests in Israel operates in the live music industry. We chat about why Kneecap's recent actions have drawn so much ire and anger in the US and  the UK, leading to the expedited terror charge of Mo Chara on June 18th, and calls (often successful) for cancellation of their shows. Festivals owned by global events company Superstruct who own 80 festivals and brands like Sonar, Sziget, Boiler Room, Oya, Field Day and Mighty Hoopla have had artists cancel in boycott of Superstruct's owner KKR, the second largest private equity firm in the world, who  have documented ties to both weapons manufacturers and Israeli companies developing data centres and advertising real estate on illegally occupied land. It feels like an unprecedented time for the visibility of protest and boycott by artists in recent years. A generational shift is happening -  Artists and DJs are showing moral opposition in this complicity in the face of political inaction. Lines are being drawn.  

Two Irish citizens living in Berlin have been issued with deportation orders and instructed to leave Germany before April 21st after facing charges over alleged actions at pro-Palestinian protests.Lawyers for their case have raised concerns that the deportation orders undermine civil liberties for EU citizens living in Germany, as neither have been convicted of any criminal offences in the German courts.Bert Murray (31) and Shane O'Brien (29) have been attending protests in support of Palestinians since the Israel-Hamas conflict began in October 2023.On this episode of In the News Bert Murray talks about her case and Irish Times columnist Una Mullally explains the background to the story.

Dublin's office market is likely to get worse before it gets better with no relief in sight until 2027 amid a collapse in demand and a glut of new developments coming on stream. The Central Bank has aired its concerns over the situation. So will there by a crash in the office market sector and what might that mean for the economy?John McCartney from BNP Paribas Real Estate explains why the fall in demand is part of a cycle and explores the forces – including troubles in the ICT sector and post-pandemic WFH – that have brought us to this tipping point.Irish Times columnist Una Mullally is in no doubt that the crash has already begun and that poor planning has blighted Dublin with empty newly-built office blocks dotting the city while housing is so desperately needed.Both explain where they are coming from and how we can move on.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Belfast and Derry rappers Kneecap have been in the news for many things in the past year: they took a case against the previous UK government for intervening to block an arts grant; they led a boycott at South By Southwest in Texas over the festival sponsor's links to the Gaza bombardment; they played Glastonbury, released their debut album, Fine Art, and their debut feature film, Kneecap, is about to hit cinemas after an award-winning outing at the Sundance Film Festival. They arrived to that event in a jeep designed to look like a PSNI vehicle. Una Mullally has been following Kneecap since they were an underground act. She says their film “will be a landmark moment for the Irish language, Irish cinema, and Irish music”.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Aideen Finnegan. Hosted on Acast.

Kieran Dineen talks to Sinn Fein local election candidates about the party's struggle to win council seats and Una Mullally, Irish Times columnist and Gabija Gataveckaite, Irish Independent Political Correspondent analyse the European and local election results.

On Thursday, March 28, myself and journalist & organizer UNA MULLALLY, presented the event THE BEGINNING IS NEAR in Dublin, where we talked about the end of the world and what comes after that. It marked in person with frequent AEWCH guests, philosopher and activist SREĆKO HORVAT, and cultural critic and writer MARK O'CONNELL. The event marked Srećko's first speaking engagement in Ireland, and also my first attempt at creating an "AEWCH event" in Ireland. I'd love to do many more. The night was broken into halves: first, we talked about apocalypse. Then we had a short break and spoke about renewal. What arose was a challenging set of indications and prospects, failures and pathways. Some questions that came up: Is the apocalypse always happening? What does the esoteric tell us about how to live beyond apocalypse? What is the role of art in renewal? Why is it important to evade the political realm? What is the use of hope? Enjoy the episode!

I talk with journalist, activist, and artist Una Mullally about what happens after collapse and how we can learn to draw strength from the destruction of who we once were.

John Downing, Irish Independent and Una Mullally, Irish Times, discuss the ongoing political repercussions for the Government parties following the twin referendum defeats.

Het is zonder twijfel het meest heikele vraagstuk op het Ierse eiland: moeten Ierland en Noord-Ierland weer worden herenigd? Er wordt al over gesoebat sinds de opdeling van het eiland, iets meer dan 100 jaar geleden, met als dieptepunt uiteraard de bloedige terreurperiode van de troubles. Lang leek de kwestie een verre toekomstdroom, maar sinds de brexit is het gesprek erover in een stroomversnelling gekomen. Het Britse vertrek uit de Europese Unie wordt door Sinn Féin, de partij die in het noorden al de grootste is, en waarschijnlijk ook in het zuiden de volgende verkiezingen zal winnen, gezien als een unieke kans om de missie van een Verenigd Ierland te voltooien. De snelle groei van het katholieke, pro-Ierse deel van de bevolking in het noorden, plus de aantrekkingskracht van de economische voorspoed in het zuiden, maken dat de domino's langzaamaan in de richting van hereniging aan het vallen zijn. Volgens sommigen, zoals Irish Times-columnist Una Mullally, kan het zelfs over tien jaar al zover zijn. Toch zullen de Ieren een enorme kluif hebben aan een eventuele hereniging. De economische kloof tussen het noorden en het zuiden is groot, zo vertelt econoom Barra Roantree van Trinity College. Ook wordt de historische pijn van de troubles nog altijd gevoeld door de diverse gemeenschappen. En dan zijn er nog de vele praktische problemen, zo benadrukt politicoloog Jane Suiter, die maken dat veel Ieren in theorie wel oren hebben naar een hereniging, maar het niet altijd als een prioriteit zien. Toch zal Sinn Féin erop gebrand zijn om de kwestie bovenaan de politieke agenda te krijgen. Zullen de Ieren dit trage en delicate proces in goede banen weten te leiden, of starten ze hiermee hun eigen polariserende traject van brexitachtige proporties op?

Nederland mag zich in het verleden graag als gidsland hebben gezien, maar het Europese land dat die die titel de afgelopen jaren met recht zou kunnen claimen, is Ierland. Het land blinkt uit in zijn tolerante omgang met migranten. Zo kwamen er vorig jaar 100.000 Oekraïners, en is inmiddels 20% van de inwoners afkomstig van buiten Ierland. In de meeste andere landen zou dat resulteren tot grote weerstand bij een deel van het electoraat, maar in Ierland is dat uitgebleven. De golf van politiek populisme heeft Ierland nooit bereikt. Dat komt deels door het vrij unieke politieke landschap in het land, zoals populismekenner Jane Suiter van Dublin City  University uitlegt. In plaats daarvan is Ierland na de klap van de financiële crisis door een diepe periode van introspectie gegaan, die resulteerde in een heuse sociale transformatie, zo vertelt Una Mullally, columnist van de Irish Times en chroniqueur van de Ierse maatschappij. Kroon op dat werk waren de twee referendums waarmee het van oudsher behoudende land het homohuwelijk en abortus legaliseerde. Inderdaad: terwijl de Britten worstelden met hun brexitstemming, wisten de Ieren op ordentelijke wijze via een referendum twee gevoelige maatschappelijke debatten af te sluiten. Des te groter was de schok toen eind november opeens de vlam in de pan sloeg in de Ierse hoofdstad Dublin. Een woedende groep Ieren, opgejut door haat tegen immigranten, sloeg aan het rellen en plunderen, als reactie op een akelige steekpartij bij een school. Veel Ieren doen het af als incident, en de afkeer van immigranten is zeker geen breed gedeeld sentiment onder het volk dat zelf zoveel ervaring met emigratie heeft. Maar het is wel een teken dat zelfs in gidsland Ierland, vooral vanwege de grote huizencrisis, de druk aan het oplopen is.

Is it time for the political system to grapple more explicitly with how immigration is changing Ireland and what sort of model - integration? multiculturalism? - we as a state wish to pursue? Or is such a conversation only ever destined to be hijacked by hateful voices and to result in a normalisation of the sort of prejudice that was on display in Dublin last week? To discuss and debate this and other related issues, Hugh talks to Kevin Cunningham, Una Mullally and Ronan McCrea.Kevin Cunningham is a lecturer in politics at TU Dublin. Ronan McCrea is a professor of European and constitutional law at University College Dublin. Una Mullally is a writer, an Irish Times columnist and the author of In the Name of Love: The Movement for Marriage Equality in Ireland. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're baaaaack! Thank you for coming back after my week off! This week Aoife Moore and I get down to the news business. We chat through the homecoming of the women of the world cup, the propsed sex-for-rent ban, and two of the wildest stories we've ever discussed.I felt like it was important to take some time to talk about Sinead O'Connor as there was no podcast last week. I've loved reading Una Mullally's writing about Sinead in the Irish Times over the years along with her recent piece for the New York Times, so was grateful she was up for chatting. I was particularly grateful to her for the reminder she gives at the end of our chat. Esther O'Moore Donohoe and I chatted through the week's entertainment stories, including what is going on with Lizzo, Ariana's new relationship, as well as the impact of social media trolling on Claire Byrne's exit from the race to be presenter of the Late Late Show.Recommendations:Aisling Ever After by Emer McLysaght and Sarah BreenThe List by Yomi Adegoke To support the podcast and access additional episodes check out the Patreon here.Get tickets for my show at the Cork Podcast Festival here.

The savage and unprovoked attacks on an American tourist Stephen Termini, from Buffalo, New York, and the Ukrainian actor Oleksandr Hrekov in Dublin's city centre made headlines – prompting debate around safety on the streets of the capital.Various reasons have been put forward for the ever-present sense of danger many say they feel in the capital's centre, ranging from lack of gardaí on the beat to the aimlessness felt by many young people after the pandemic leading to antisocial behaviour.For Irish Times columnist Una Mullally, the blame must also be shouldered by Dublin City Council, which is charged with the care, planning and development of the city. Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by John Casey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I talk with journalist, artist, and activist Una Mullally about how catastrophizing helps keep things on the wrong track, and how to face four challenges of our time - fascism, climate change, AI, and the groomer moral panic - with new ways of thinking/feeling/acting. This is a transformative conversation!

In her recent column Una Mullally pulled no punches about the state of Dublin city centre. It is once again, she says, a dirty old town.She writes: “It hasn't rained much recently, so the streets are filthier than normal. I'm not talking about your standard litter here. I'm talking about grime. As the grime piles up, layer by layer – the urine, the bird poo, the chewing gum, the cigarette butts, the filth from people's shoes and whatever other miscellaneous gunk graffitis the pavements.”Dublin City Council is charged with cleaning the city but, Mullally argues, its strategy is visibly failing. Irish Times Dublin editor Olivia Kelly reports on all aspects of the city, and she tells what elected councillors can do about it. Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by John Casey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

‘Dublin is a dirty, smelly, sticky old town once again', so says Una Mullally in today's Irish Times. She argues that during the summer months, in particular, Dublin suffers from a lack of waste management and that the council seem to include ‘rainfall' as part of their clean up plans. Andrea was joined by listeners on Lunchtime Live to discuss...

Is it time to get rid of cars in cities? Do issues like noise pollution, air pollution, congestion, lack of green spaces mean that having cars in cities is negatively impacting us all? Una Mullally has a piece in today's Irish Times that says: ‘Cars have to go. People can fight this all they want, but it has to happen' What do you think? Andrea was joined by listeners and business owners to discuss…

A live episode with Una Mullally and Andrea Horan of the United Ireland podcast, talking exercises you can do to start creating utopia now.

A squat eviction, protests over plans to redevelop the site at the Cobblestone pub and the announcements of closures of the Science Gallery and a much-loved independent bookshop. These individual events, which took place in Dublin last week, may not seem related. But for many people, they symbolise what is seen as the degradation of culture and the character of the capital city. Sorcha Pollak talks to Irish Times columnist Una Mullally and Dublin Editor Olivia Kelly about the changing face of Dublin.Produced by: Declan Conlon, Jennifer Ryan and Suzanne BrennanOpening music by Hugh Rodgerswww.irishtimes.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week's episode is a long form conversation with journalist and writer Una Mullally about the central ideas behind the Utopia series, concocted with and author, lecturer and a sex workers' rights advocate Conner Habib. Utopia at the National Concert Hall is a series of five speculative and aspirational events happening from today Wednesday October 20th until Sunday October 24th which will feature new forms of gigs and talks with improvised and experimental shows which asks questions of  audiences and artists about our future: what do you want? What do we want our future to look like. "If this era has changed us, then everything needs to be different. The only option is to strive for utopia.“ Una and I talked about what we'd like to see for live art and culture when things reopen, the desire to be around chaotic, loud performance, how art and music brings meaning and reflection that we've been missing, and discuss Night Dances, a recent show we both experienced at Dublin Theatre Festival, along with how we, as a society and people, have changed during this pandemic. We also talk the disconnect between people and politics, in light of the Cobblestone, student protests, Merchant's Arch and the numerous hotel developments around our city. Utopia will feature input from David Le'aupepe, Gemma Doherty (Saint Sister), David Kitt, MayKay, Daoirí Farrell, Rory Friers (And So I Watch You From Afar), Izumi Kimura, Ben Castle, Rebel Phoenix, Strange Boy, DJ Replay, Dyramid, Kate Butler, Don Rosco and No Place Like Drone.

This Reboot Republic talks to Una Mullally, journalist and broadcaster and columnist with the Irish Times, about the housing crisis, the investor funds, the political implications of Government housing failure and new protests and movements that are inevitably ahead. We discuss the key issues of Generation Rent, Gentrification, Student accommodation, and the importance of a Referendum on the Right to Housing, and for a new vision for housing. Una makes the point that we are living the Grand Designs of Fine Gael's radical vision for housing and we need a new radical housing policy based on housing need. We also discuss the importance of people sharing their stories of the housing crisis, and realising it is not their fault but results from policy.

Elections Series #4 of 4. On May 24, 2015, Ireland became the first country in the world to codify marriage equality through a popular vote. Significantly, the popular vote enacted a constitutional amendment, adding protection for two adult’s right to marry regardless of sex or gender. In a country that only just decriminalized same-sex sex in 1993, this turn of events might be surprising. 61% of eligible Irish voters voted. 62% of those voters said Yes, to approve the referendum amending the constitution. Members of the main mobilizing campaign--the “Yes Equality” campaign that advocated for the amendment--credit their success to a strong social media movement, the mobilization of real people’s stories, and a non-confrontational high-road approach in comparison with the No campaigners. The leaders of Yes Equality, Grainne Healy, Brian Sheehan, and Noel Whelan, also insist that Ireland was just ready to accept gay and lesbian Irish people as equals, evidenced by the smashing success of a 62% victory. The 2015 referendum was absolutely a major milestone in Irish gay and lesbian history. Whether or not it signaled Ireland’s definitive acceptance of queer Irish people as “equal” is less clear.  Bibliography Ed.

Health editor Paul Cullen and columnist Una Mullally join Hugh and Harry this week to talk about a Tuesday of drama, and occasional slapstick, with the Government introducing its five-stage plan for society to live with Covid-19 in the months ahead. The messaging on the day was universally panned, but beyond that, does the plan make sense?

Broadcaster & art historian Loyd Grossman chats to Seán Rocks about his new book, Elephant in Rome documenting Bernini’s reimagining of Rome, Declan Burke reviews the new BBC series of Strike, an adaptation of Robert Galbraith's (JK Rowling) detective series & Una Mullally on where to begin with performance poet, playwright & novelist, Kae Tempest.

During a decade of social upheaval in Ireland, two referendums have been passed that have granted marriage equality to LGBT people and removed the constitutional ban on abortion. Una Mullally is an Irish journalist, podcaster and author who found herself thrust into the limelight, especially in the marriage equality debate, putting her in a somewhat unique position of documenting these historic changes while also playing a part in them.

Irish journalist, author, activist and podcaster Una Mullally joins Nadine O'Regan to talk about her career in journalism, as well as her origins in Dublin, her early days, her decision to leave the Catholic Church, falling in love, and how she coped when faced with a cancer diagnosis days after her 32nd birthday. They also talk about the joy and the difficulty of creating podcasts (Una's new podcast, which she co-hosts with Andrea Horan, is called United Ireland and is available on all platforms), as well as Una's appointment in 2019 as a European Young Leader.

I talk with journalist, activist, and podcaster Una Mullally about how to cultivate our selves, our sense of the past, and our connection with place to destroy neoliberalism and capitalism. It's such a good one, folks.

Both contenders for the Tory leadership, Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt, mades news on the hustings the other day by stating that even a time-limit to the backstop would not be enough: the backstop simply must go. Assuming Boris Johnson becomes the next PM, as seems likely, how does he plan to get any kind of deal with the EU with such a hardline approach? What, in short, is his game? To find out, Hugh and Pat talk to political editor of The Spectator magazine, James Forsyth. Later on, Una Mullally is here to look back on the life, achievements and allyship of the late Noel Whelan.

Journalist, author and activist Una Mullally was on the front lines of movements that led to Ireland passing marriage equality and repealing its decades old ban on abortion. The European Young Leader discusses how citizens can be galvanised to engage politically and demand change.

GCN, in conjunction with TENI and the #CALLITOUT (https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/callitout) campaign, presented an evening of conversation exploring the complex and multifaceted nature of homophobia, biphobia and transphobia as experienced by LGBT+ people in today's Ireland. ‘Call It Out’ is a new civil society campaign to highlight and address the harm caused by homophobia, biphobia and transphobia in Ireland. The campaign is being led by the Transgender Equality Network of Ireland (TENI) and the team from the Hate and Hostility Research Group at the University of Limerick. Despite recent positive changes for LGBT+ people in Ireland, many still experience harassment and intimidation simply because of who they are. The results of a survey conducted by HHRG showed that while only 36% of respondents believed that violence against the LGBT+ community is a serious problem in this country, it reported that in actuality, one in five, or 21% of those surveyed, have been punched, hit or physically attacked in public for being LGBT+. The panel of guests Ellen Murray, Brendan Courtney (https://www.facebook.com/BrendanCourtneyOfficial/) , Paddy Smyth - My Disabled Life (https://www.facebook.com/paddyysmyth/) and Shubhangi Karmakar spoke in conversation with the journalist and Author, Una Mullally.

On Monday December 10th, The Irish Times marks 100 years since the 1918 election, with a magazine and unique commemorative poster featuring a specially commissioned poem by Eavan Boland, illustrated by artist Paula McGloin. Articles by Catriona Crowe, Ivana Bacik, Una Mullally and others will explore how the vote was won by the women of Ireland, and how they have fared in the century since. To mark this publication Róisín Ingle hosted a special Irish Times Women’s Podcast at The National Gallery in Dublin. It was a stimulating evening of conversation about Irish women and art. Joining the discussion was Leah Benson, archivist and curator of the [In]Visible: Irish Women Artists from the Archives exhibition which sheds light on the education, career and recognition of artists such as Mary Swanzy, Elizabeth Corbet Yeats and Evie Hone. Acclaimed performance artist Amanda Coogan talked about the inspiration behind her provocative new artwork Floats in the Aether which is currently running at the gallery in response to the newly opened Markievicz: Portraits and Propaganda exhibition. Visual artist Alice Maher discussed women’s representation in Irish art and her favourite portraits featuring women. There was also music from the National Gallery Choir and Kildare musician Megan O’Neill. This episode also includes a reading of Eavan Boland’s specially commissioned poem Our Future Will Become the Past of Other Women which can be found in our in-depth Vote 100 coverage in The Irish Times online with interactive features, video, audio and Boland’s poem in 8 languages at Irishtimes.com/Vote100

One final Friday referendum podcast. Columnist Una Mullally and DCU political scientist Jane Suiter join Hugh, Pat and Sarah to debate what really happened. How did the media fulfil its role? What were the decisive factors in voters' minds, and can the success of the grassroots campaign for liberalisation be parlayed into electoral success for the politicians who supported the people?

It will take a few podcasts to digest the historic referendum results of last weekend. Today we begin by looking at what lies behind the divergence between opinion polls and the final result. Then Michael O'Regan has the view from rural constituencies like Kerry where many TDs were left at odds with the majority. And we turn to Fianna Fail and reports of an unhappy meeting last night as the party struggles to figure out what its position on abortion should be. Is the party at risk of a major rupture? We talk to Niall Collins, the Limerick TD, FF spokesperson on Foreign Affairs and Yes campaigner, who is blunt in his assessment of the motives and leadership of some of his colleagues. He demands the party now row in behind leader Micheal Martin on the issue as legislation works its way through the Oireachtas. We'll be back with another podcast on Friday, with columnist and campaigner Una Mullally and political scientist Jane Suiter of DCU.

This diamond from the Story Keeper's story dungeon was written by Una Mullally and Sarah Francis. "Yokespiracy" is a timeless tale of government conspiracies, mind altering substances and saving the world; one enormous dopamine dump at a time.

In this week's episode, we talk about Theresa May's impossible situation, and ask, how can she get out of this bind created by her friends and enemies?

The fourth installment of Q+A, GCN’s Queer and Alternative podcast is an International Women's Day special, hosted by Lisa Connell. For this month’s Q+A podcast, we sit down with two trailblazing activists to discuss the intersectional nature of the campaign to repeal the 8th amendment and the LGBT+ community. In celebration of 2018's International Women's Day, our very own GCN staffer, Lisa Connell has a conversation with Irish Times journalist Una Mullally, and campaigner Anna Cosgrave, both prominent femininist activists in Ireland. They discuss how and why abortion rights in Ireland are a queer issue and celebrate the fact that LGBT+ folk are on the frontlines of social justice in the country.  Music by Will St. Leger and Faune.

Journalist, author, and activist Una Mullally talks about her lucky breaks, trying to be productive while being on the session, and for her Twelve Angry Minutes she discusses the danger of vanishing transgressive queer spaces.

Autobiography? Fiction? Essay? When I Love Dick was published in the US back in 1997, readers weren’t sure what to make of it. But over the last 20 years the ‘novel’, like Kraus herself, has acquired an army of devoted fans. For one thing, it’s very funny. I Love Dick tells the story of ‘Chris’, a ‘failed’ video artist who falls for, and writes a series of love letters to, her husband’s friend Dick (based on real-life cultural theorist Dick Hebdige). In the wake of the (long overdue) UK publication, Chris Kraus comes to Dublin to discuss her startlingly original take on femininity, desire and the epistolary novel in the company of journalist and broadcaster Una Mullally.

What does 2017 hold in store for Ireland and the world? We don't claim to know, but we invited Fintan O'Toole, Una Mullally and Pat Leahy in to discuss some of the possibilities on this final Inside Politics of the unforgettable year of 2016.

Last week, we got out of the Off Topic studio and went on the road to the Electric Picnic. The Irish Times tent in the Mindfield section played host a series of talks on TV, film, sports and media. Today will be having a listen to some of the best bits. First up, it's the inner workings of a much-envied job: sports writing. Gavin Cummiskey and Malachy Clerkin of the Irish Times and Sinead O'Carroll, news editor of the journal.ie talk about reporting on Rio, the fallout from the scandal surrounding Pat Hickey and alleged ticket touting, doping in sport, and the art in conveying the experience of sports people in their crucial moment of victory. Our next discussion focused on writing for television and film, and features Sarah Francis, who was previously story editor for Fair City, and Louise Ní Fhiannachta, the director of Epic, TG4 groundbreaking Irish TV drama, and the award-winning short movie “Rubai”. She has also written for Ros na Rún and Irish language drama Seacht. The discuss just how much work goes into TV drama. The Fair City Story Room, for example, works 50 weeks a year, creating storylines for 200 episodes. The also talk about what Netflix and Amazon mean for making TV and the format of TV shows, the role of showrunners here and abroad, and discuss the national past time of slagging off RTE. And finally on today's show Irish times arts writes discuss the joys and the frustrations of writing about culture. You'll hear from Laurence Mackin, Una Mullally, Patrick Freyne and, Peter Crawley and Louise Bruton. How do you review an album you;ve only heard once? How do you stay impartial in a country as small as Ireland? And what happens when you make a critical judgement and realise you've got it wrong? And finally, a sad announcement: this is the final episode of Off Topic, at least for now. Thanks very much to all our listeners, participants and to everyone who gave feedback on the show.

Una Mullally speaks with Moby about his life and music.

In the wake of last week's mass shooting in Orlando's Pulse nightlcub, Off Topic takes a look at the role of gay clubs and LGBT spaces and how they've changed. Laurence Mackin hosts a panel discussion with three guests who play a pivotal role in Ireland's LGBT community - journalist, activist and columnist Una Mullally, events manager and club promoter Buzz O'Neill and journalist, activist and founder of The Irish Queer Archive Tonie Walsh.

We’re live from Dingle this week at another Banter recorded during Other Voices last month. Una Mullally joined us by the fire in Foxy John's for a lengthy conversation about her work as a journalist and activist, covering everything from her early days as a freelance music writer and time at The Sunday Tribune to her current position at The Irish Times and her role in 2015's marriage referendum. A great, meaty, fierce, funny and often emotional podcast.

Fintan O'Toole and Una Mullally join Hugh Linehan to look back at the life of David Bowie in this special edition of Off Topic.

Guests Fintan O'Toole, Una Mullally, Harry McGee and host Hugh Linehan take a deep breath, dive into the recent past and review 2015 in politics, featuring: - water protests - a marriage referendum - economic recovery - competence (or less incompetence?) of the Government - Fianna Fail's raison d'etre, - the Sinn Fein conundrum - and more besides. Finally, Fintan expresses optimism for Irish society and a prediction for the general election. Happy Christmas to all our listeners from the Inside Politics team.

This week Hugh Linehan is joined by Patrick Freyne and Louis La Roc to discuss the origins of Numb, a story about a war correspondent. He also discusses the absence of female literary critics with Una Mullally and Laurence Mackin and Louisa Cameron from Raven Books. Off Topic is a weekly culture podcast researched by Declan Conlon and produced by Sinead O'Shea.

Una Mullally is no stranger to Banter audiences, as both a regular panelist and occasional host. In December, Una’s oral history of the campaign for marriage equality in Ireland, "In The Name Of Love", was published by The History Press. To mark the publication, we were joined by Una, John Lyons TD and activists Tonie Walsh and Ailbhe Smith to talk about the story so far, what's to be learned from the various victories and setbacks in the path to marriage equality and what lies ahead in the referendum campaign.

Una Mullally is a journalist with the Irish times, a broadcaster, TV presenter with TG4 and the author of a new book 'In the name of love'. The book is an oral history which, ahead of the referendum in May, charts the fight for marriage equality in Ireland. From the dawn of Irish LGBT activism to an organised protest movement, from the legislative battles fought to the personal stories that paved the way for visibility, In The Name of Love is the story of how we got from the decriminalising of homosexuality just 22 years ago to where we are today. We chat about the book, the reaction to it and some of the problems she's experienced trying to promote it in a media landscape over which this debate for marriage equality looms. We touch on what it's like to be gay in Dublin in 2015, her work with Straight up for Equality, her career as a columnist and the visceral reaction some people have to her opinions, as well as the music show 'Ceol ar an Imeall' that she presents on TG4. You can follow Una on Twitter @unamullally. Also, check out her Pop Life blog on the Irish Times, and Agility. You can get In the name of love in all good bookshops, or online via Amazon.

This week Roisin meets Una Mullally and discusses writing and her new book In the Name of Love.

There was a full house at the Twisted Pepper a few weeks ago for our action-packed discussion on the question of Dublin's creative edge. Prompted by an Irish Times column by Una Mullally which claimed that Dublin no longer had a cutting edge when it came to creativity, our panel - Sinead Kelly from Hunt & Gather, Richard Seabrooke from Thinkhouse and Offset, Dave Smith from MABOS and Una herself - chewed the fat about what’s working and what’s not in the capital city when it comes to artistic and cultural innovation. And, as always at Banter, we’d also some lively contributions from the audience.

In this week’s Culture podcast Shane Hegarty, Jim Carroll, Una Mullally bully me about my lumpy bagel head and we eventually get around to some discussion about the best and the worst bits of music festivals. (For pics of said lumpy head, see my Twitter feed @laurencemackin. It’s really not pretty.)

In this week’s Culture podcast I talk to Fintan O’Toole about the state of Irish theatre, while Una Mullally and Jim Carroll discuss Forbidden Fruit and ask just how many festivals Ireland can support. Can Irish dramatists tackle big questions?
