1347. GE 2024 – The Candidates, Patricia Stephenson
Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack
In this GE2024 candidates chat we talk with Patricia Stephenson, who is the Social Democrats General Election candidate for Carlow-Kilkenny. Her route into politics took her from Belfast to East Africa, on to Dublin, before finally settling down in Carlow-Kilkenny. Her human rights background and experience makes her a candidate well worth your consideration. Even if I doubt her Coddle bona fides.
