The Mick Clifford Podcast: New Northern Ireland, same old problems - Mick Fealty

The North goes to the polls on May 5 in what many are describing as the most significant election in the assembly’s history.

Mick Fealty, founder and editor of the current affairs online publication Slugger O’Toole, believes the election is now Sinn Féin’s to lose.

Listen in to hear Mick Fealty’s unique take on what’s ahead.
