Letters to the Editor: Catherine Connolly is a voice for change to build a better Ireland

One reader writes in to say time after time, Ireland’s youth begged for changes that would give us some hope for the future, but every time we were told that our lives mattered less than rising house prices

Catherine Connolly and the people she shared that stage with shared a vision for Ireland’s future that had a place for me in it, says one reader.

I’m not a very political person.

That’s a strange thing to admit as someone with two degrees in politics, but whatever enthusiasm I had for political engagement was quickly snuffed out as I graduated into an Ireland of austerity and dwindling opportunities.
