S5E20: Ted Smyth - Politics 2024 Check-In

Ted Smyth, former diplomat and C-Suite and current President of the Advisory Board of Glucksman Ireland House NYU,  joins Martin Nutty for a discussion on Irish and American politics.

What does the recent November 2023 American mid term election presage for 2024?

 How differing are the American and Irish views on Gaza? 

How should we understand the recent Dublin riots and the relationship between that violence and the competition for public resources?

These are some of the questions asked in Ted's 4th appearance on Irish Stew and he tells us how he thinks the upcoming election in 2024 are going to play out on both sides of the Atlantic
