Ep 102 Women's Soccer & Alexandra Cousteau

The Irish women’s soccer team held a press conference at Liberty Hall in Dublin on Tuesday, where they aired their many longstanding grievances about their treatment, particularly when compared to the men’s teams. On Thursday morning the FAI announced that following mediation overnight, all of the issues highlighted by the players would be addressed. We bring you a conversation between Róisín Ingle and one of the players, Louise Quinn, who she spoke to yesterday afternoon just ahead of that mediation session. Later in the podcast, Kathy Sheridan talks to Alexandra Cousteau, the granddaughter of legendary Jacques Cousteau, who taught her to scuba dive when she was four years old. Alexandra tells Kathy about her less mentioned grandmother, Simone, without whom The Calypso might never have set sail.
