She’s an extremist. But right now she’s allowed to get away with it

She’s got some cool identities to use! Black, Woman, Irish (Even though we Irish are now white colonial Overlords!)

Thanks for a great conversation, terrific questions and observations from Colm.

An immensely enjoyable and inspiring conversation! Thank you.

The first thing is to get rid of that mental illness called religion. Only after that can you really tackle these issues. Because if you think that a magic man controls everything, how can you think logically about anything? And i think shouting and swearing and calling people fascists is unhelpful (look up the dictionary definition of fascist if necessary because it has a tightly defined meaning).

amazing interview with an author that is much more than mere amazing

Great writers make subtle things extraordinary and bad writers make extraordinary things bullshit. 🥃

Aow

The quality of this interview brings me to tears

I so enjoyed this. Thank you to all.

Dabiri has an inferiority complex and she blames the Irish people for her insecurities. She's a nasty woman.

Woke agenda alert. And so much over analyzing.

So much respect for these three amazing ladies. Its because of ladies like these that all women get their freedom.

Breathe in under the cloth. When the water hits it breathe out slowly through your nose. DO NOT PANIC! In your head say the fact; 'the arab slave trade castrated every male slave they sold.... The ottoman empire made colonialism and the British empire look like hippies at woodstock.... And this didn't end until the 1920's! shame on you, Britain for only stepping in at 1807, SHAME!' Oh, the guilt bucket emptied? Breathe in and get ready for it again. This time repeat; 'in the 1200s the Mongols did their share of brutality yet theres no mob outside Mongolia....i wonder what the mongolian prime minister sayng "and should we care?" sounds like' . Emptied again, OK you can do this, breathe in and get ready. Say in your head; 'the colour of my skin has nothing to do with me being responsible for crimes against humanity.. the colour of.......'

She has serious mental health issues and a dangerous ego. The world she believes she lives in dosnt exist. This is the result of too much media as a child.

So the "patriarchy" exists in ireland too.

I was incredibly moved by Suad Aldarra's powerful memoir.

Thank you, very good and interesting programme.

Awesome interview

Great interview!

f()ke u all

Very rude to be chewing and eating during a conversation.

These people should stop thinking they speak for everyone. It's not a movement, it's only been seen an issue in the last few years, there parents and grandparents never said anything before. These people who think they speak on behalf of everyone, don't speak for everyone. Do these people whom speak for everyone drink coffee, tea, of course they do the hypocrites. Remember Africans before the trans Atlantic slave trade ripped through European countries including Ireland and Britain and took white people for slaves , nearly cleared the population of Ireland. It's history, if it didn't happen then the European people would capitalise and Africans would still be living in mudhuts. Also places like Nigeria only got rich and civilized due the trans Atlantic slave trade. Africans which include an African queen were selling each other for money as like they still do now. Look at the now slave trade that still goes on in Africa, they steal each others animals for money for other countries for money. What justice ?? Where's the justice for the all the slaves in history ? Slave trade still goes on and FGM in Africa, why is nobody speaking of that. Slave trade and trafficking still goes on today in most countries, why are you not speaking about that ? Why always prey on what happened all them years ago. You are a privileged person with nothing new to talk about. Your attitude stinks.

Excellent interview. So many interesting ideas

She’s gorgeous😍

Do you notice how selective she is? Agenda all day.

What a very thoughtful and enjoyable discussion.

Preparedness is a good thing...

Also, Diarmaid Ó Muirithe's 2000 (repr 2013) Dictionary of Anglo-Irish: Words and phrases from Gaelic in the English of Ireland is another good-to-have dictionary for the Irish compnent of Hiberno-Irish, in addition to the classic by Terence Dolan mentioned here.

Brilliant Bern !

What a wonderful chat . Thank you !

this is magic, the guy in left-down corner looks like Milo Thatch. He knows russian, and few other languages...

This was such a good book, reading it twice

Wow! As a white person I loved this book. Love getting told what to do from a moron.

Read the book and .......... I fucking loved it, it’s interesting, positive and inspiring. Emma and Blindboy are both fucking awesome

This is such a great interview.

Feminism terrifies me and I am a woman Sad discussion

Brilliant women .what a pleasure to listen to them

Brilliant discussion 💕💕💕

if I wrote a book what black people do next I would get in trouble and face severe backlash. People want equality but one rule for one and one rule fo another ain't equal

So much respect for these 3 women. My warmest regards from France. I am French, a feminist and an atheist. However I agree with everything which is said here. We will keep fighting.

I've seen less waffle at a maple syrup factory..

Gaslighting. If you don't like white people or their culture and countries, go somehwere else that's more fitting to your own demands.

Blindboy is a sellout. Emma is a fraud.

Nice discussion of "plot," "writer's block, etc." Perhaps novels need more plot -- or at least a situation which has to be resolved somehow by the end. Short forms don't need to offer resolution; some a simple epiphany is sufficient...

publishing a novel -- "you crawl out of a car crash and people start holding up score cards." (And I thought I was a cynical writer...). Entertaining discussion for me as a Texan whose family hails from Roscommon...

I am struggling with insomnia tonight. This interview is like a lovely chat with a good friend. Thank you for the peaceful feeling even if I am not sleeping.

yes. beautiful and insightful interview. i have been so excited watching it, having just finished the book, which is stunning. thank you Cúirt and Colm Tóibín. Brilliant! xxx
