How Far We Have Travelled is a book of reportage by the late Mary Holland, an outstanding figure in Irish journalism. It’s a fascinating topic for our panel of women, all of whom make a significant contribution to Ireland’s identity through their work as broadcasters and journalists: journalists Dearbhail MacDonald, Susan McKay, Ann Marie Hourihane and Doireann Ní Bhriain; producer Betty Purcell; and in the chair, Mary Holland’s daughter, journalist Kitty Holland. Viewed through Bealtaine’s theme of activism and the collective, come and hear how far we really have travelled…

Presented in association with Bealtaine Festival.
