Clare Daly in conversation with Bernadette McAliskey 2024
Don léacht bliaintiúil in ómós an gníomhaí pobail Harry Holland, tá muid ar bís go raibh Clare Daly linn mar aoichainteoir na léachta 2024 mar chuid d’Fhéile na Carraige le Glór na Móna. Ba Bhaill Tofa Phairlimint na hEorpa í Clare do Bhaile Átha Cliath idir 2019 agus 2024 mar chuid den ghrúpa ‘Independents4Change’ san Eite Chlé den Phairlimint. Ar feadh na mblianta, tá Clare chun tosaigh ar cheisteanna chearta daonna, ceartais sóisialta, frithimpiúirleachas in éadan míleatú an Aontais Eorpaigh agus ar son na Palaistíne, ach go háirithe le bliain anuas in éadan an cinedhíothú atá Rialtas na hIosraela ag déanamh ar mhuintir na Palaistíne. Bhí comhrá speisialta againn léi ag díriú isteach ar na ceisteanna seo chomh maith leis na rudaí a spreag agus a spreagann Clare chun an obair seo a dhéanamh.
Bhí Clare faoi agallamh ag Bernadette McAliskey, an gníomhaí chearta daonna, feachtasóir ar son ceartais shóisialta, poblachtach sóisialaíoch idirnáisiúnta agus feimineach aitheanta. Bhí Bernadette ina Stiúrthóir ar an Tionscadal Cumhachtaithe i dTír Eoghain Theas (nó STEP), eagraíocht forbartha pobail a oibríonn le pobal na n-imirceach agus ar a son agus chuidigh sí go mór le Clare sa toghchán is déanaí den Aontas Eorpach in 2024.
For the annual lecture in honor of community activist Harry Holland, we are thrilled that Clare Daly joined us as the guest speaker for the 2024 lecture as part of Glór na Móna’s Féile na Carraige. Clare was a Member of the European Parliament for Dublin between 2019 and 2024 as part of the 'Independents4Change' group in the Left of the European Parliament - GUE/NGL. For years, Clare has been at the forefront of human rights issues, social justice, anti-imperialism against the militarization of the European Union, and in support of Palestine, especially in the past year against the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people. This was a special conversation with her, focusing on these issues as well as what has inspired and continues to inspire Clare to do this work.
Clare was interviewed by Bernadette McAliskey, the renowned human rights activist, social justice campaigner, international socialist republican, and feminist. Bernadette was the Director of the South Tyrone Empowerment Project (or STEP), a community development organisation that works with and on behalf of the migrant community, and she greatly assisted Clare in the most recent European Union election in 2024.
