Has rural Ireland been forgotten? Storm Éowyn aftermath

We have heard from people over the last number of days that have been affected in the aftermath of Storm Éowyn. Around 142,000 homes, farms and businesses are still without power, while Uisce Éireann says over 6,000 premises still have no water supply. Many of the people that have been worst affected – many of whom have spoken on the show – live in rural areas. Is Storm Éowyn proof that rural Ireland is forgotten? To discuss, Andrea is joined by Seamus Boland, CEO of Irish Rural Link, Michael Fitzmaurice, Independent Ireland TD for Roscommon / Galway as well as listeners to discuss.
