Description

Northern Ireland prepares for a Sinn Fein First Minister, but why has it taken so long?

On today’s Free State, Joe and Dion look at how culture was used as a tool of oppression in the north. As Kneecap the movie demonstrates the Irish language is now part of a vibrant culture among young nationalists. The language has more power because of how it was so recently suppressed.

Dion also finds a strong reason called Conor Bradley for a border poll. And things get heated when the lads discuss Israel and Gaza.

Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.
