We spoke with Stiofán Ó Nualláin of Trademark Belfast about Worker Co-Operatives.
"

Stiofán has been with Trademark since 2001, having previously worked for Counteract, the anti-intimidation unit of the ICTU where he had responsibility for anti-sectarianism and anti-racism in the public sector. Before this he worked in the former Yugoslavia as co-ordinator of the SAVA (Service Civil International) Working Group on Ex-Yugoslavia. Stiofán has a range of experience in formal and informal training, education and mediation including extensive experience of work interventions in the context of sectarian disputes and community tension.

His PhD was on the theme of republican and loyalist political discourse and, following a Masters in International Human Rights Law with a focus on labour rights, he represented the labour movement on the Bill of Rights Working Group on Economic and Social Rights. Stiofán is closely involved with all aspects of Trademark’s work, with particular responsibility for its political education programmes, international collaboration and co-operative economic development.

'Live at 5', Worker Co-Operatives with Stiofán Ó Nualláin

John Hegarty is the director of Fourem Architects who specialise in urban design and the conservation of historic structures and spaces. Through his work he has developed a deep love for the historic architecture of Cork city and this drove John to represent a campaign to oppose the council and OPW planned flood walls along the quays in Cork. 

The campaign argues that these flood walls would drastically change the feel and look of Cork as a heritage port city and greatly diminish the view and connection the island of Cork has with its River Lee. The campaign is called Save Cork City and you will notice the Love the Lee slogan displayed at businesses around the city who support the cause. Save Cork City have been opposing the planned walls for over 5 years now and they propose that building a tidal barrier at Little Island or Tivoli would be a far more economically viable option, cause no interruption to the city centre but also save the original 18 century quay walls. 

We get into the nitty gritty of the issues surrounding Cork city as a marsh and the city's flood defence, but we also talk about dereliction/vacancy, the housing emergency, the Sextant pub and much much more... Enjoy!

Live At Five on Cork City Community radio
A couple of weeks ago, I was at the washing machines in the garage with my rugs. While i was waiting for my wash to finish, I went and did some shopping and when I returned, a camper van had pulled in. 
My nose got the better of me, so I went over and introduced myself. 
The van is owned by Jorge Mos and Erica González Mouriño who share the space with  their two amazing dogs, Baloo and Africa.  
Erica and Jorge invited me for tea and we had the loveliest chat about life, running their own small businesses' and living a sustainable life with their dogs in a motorhome.
I am genuinely so inspired by these young people and want to thank them for taking the time to talk to me.

Paul O'Riordan and Judith Heywood from Great Hounds in Need talk to us about the incredible work they do to improve the lives of greyhounds 
And the human who looks after Robert the Greyhound,
Zoe-Louise, a prominent figure in the greyhound rescue community,  talks about the challenges and solutions related to the high volume of greyhounds in rescue shelters, primarily due to the large-scale breeding industry. She also addresses the issues surrounding the Irish greyhound racing industry and suggests removing the gambling element from greyhound racing to address overbreeding and doping issues. 
As Robert the Greyhound says, "Robert the Greyhound
Thank you so much for giving the Greyhounds a platform!! Greyhounds make such amazing, laid back, lovable companions, not just a cheap commodity to be exploited by a gambling industry 🐾"
In the second part of the show we catch up with Joanna Dukkipati from Good Day, Cork to hear about what she has planned this Autumn.
