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.
