In this episode of the Irish Tech News podcast Ronan was at the RDS for Coder Dojo Coolest Project Awards which took place last Saturday.  He spoke to the award winning Jake O’Toole who developed a personal safety app that shares your location with trusted contacts to let them know where you are if you are feeling unsafe. He also spoke with Iseult Mangan the Cloghans Hill NS Principal who taught herself coding so that she could open and also run her local Coder Dojo.

After our written interview with Nell Kruger earlier this year we figured it made sense to capture her unique insights and voice in this podcast interview.

Nell Kruger lived on Cape Clear from 1986 to 2018 and saw many interesting events and changes on the island.
She worked as an artist, ceramicist and cofounder of the Cape Clear Storytelling Festival and resident on the island for four decades.
