Ep 125 Letters From The Suitcase & Alison O'Connor

A few weeks ago, journalist Alison O'Connor addressed the Countess Markievicz School’s Forum on Women in Ireland. We bring you her arousing speech on the representation of women in the media in this episode. Later in the podcast, Letters From The Suitcase reveals the real wartime correspondence between David and Mary Francis from 1938 to 1943, and their unique love story. Anna Carey spoke to their daughter who discovered a suitcase in the attic of her mother's house packed full of the letters. She talks to Róisín Ingle about the story and reads a few of her favourites.
