The Hard Shoulder Highlights

"It feels like a decade ago... what a year it's been!"

It’s one year since one of the most historic elections in living memory, as Sinn Fein became the 2nd biggest party in Ireland, winning 37 seats - just one less than Fianna Fáil. Their leader, Mary Lou McDonald, joined Kieran on Friday's edition of The Hard Shoulder to talk about the party's first year as the biggest party in Opposition, her highlights and lowlights from the year, and what she hopes for going forward.
