EP7 - Economics of the Pandemic with Emma Clancy: The COVID-19 pandemic is a disaster for the whole world but one of the reasons it is hitting so hard in Europe is the economic policy of the European Union. We speak to Emma Clancy, a researcher and activist on economic policy and tax justice, about why now is the time for a radical upheaval of EU economic governance. Recorded on April 3, 2020. Kindly presented by Damien Thomson, political adviser to the GUE/NGL group. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
54 min listen
EP1 - What Happens In Brussels: In the debut episode of I4C Trouble, MEPs Daly & Wallace discuss their previous eight years of work in the Irish Parliament, the move to Brussels and their experience so far of the European Parliament. The failures of mainstream political reporting are a serious problem for the public's understanding of what's going on at the centre of power. But what can be done about it? Kindly presented by Damien Thomson, political adviser to the GUE/NGL group. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
52 min listen
EP4 - Solidarity, Sanctions, Migration and Privacy during COVID-19: In the fourth episode of I4C Trouble, MEPs Daly & Wallace continue to delve into some of the key issues raised by the COVID-19 pandemic, chief among them the failures of the EU to show solidarity, internally and externally. They look at the genocidal effects of US sanctions on Iran and Venezuela during the crisis, discuss the worsening situation and abuses of rights in migrant camps on EU borders and warn that the government's emergency response to COVID-19 could very easily become a power grab, eroding data protection and privacy in the long term. Kindly presented by Damien Thomson, political adviser to the GUE/NGL group. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace

EP14 - Never A Dull Moment: As the lockdown gradually eases, the Commission is unveiling a hodgepodge of plans and work is furiously underway to scrutinize them all. Clare and Mick break down the highlights of a busy week at the European Parliament: state aid rules and bail outs; food sustainability and big farms; public private partnerships and corporate lobbying; how the EU enables the settlement of the Palestinian territories; the rule of law during the pandemic; and the EU's flawed COVID-19 economic recovery plan. Bonus content: how to make sure you find a partner at the dance. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
77 min listen
Clare Daly: Address to Easter Rising Commemoration Ceremony at Sligo Cemetery: On Easter Sunday 2020, the COVID-19 crisis made it impossible to hold the traditional commemoration of the Easter Rising at the Republican Plot in Sligo Cemetery. The ceremony was instead held online. The event was chaired by Sligo Councillor Declan Bree and an address was given by video from Brussels by MEP Clare Daly. This is the audio of her speech. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
10 min listen
EP10 - Discussing Venezuela with Medea Benjamin: Clare and Mick interview Medea Benjamin of Code Pink about the ongoing media and sanctions war being perpetrated against the government of Venezuela. They discuss the increasingly aggressive US state department moves on the international stage, the impact of these regime change operations on the ground, the role of the EU, and modes of resistance to the imperialist war machine. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
57 min listen
EP8 - Prisons and Prisoners: The COVID-19 crisis has forced governments and penal institutions all over the world to face the issue of prisoners' rights and prison conditions. Clare, Mick and Damien discuss the problems with incarceration as a criminal justice measure, the urgent demands for release of prisoners during the crisis and the plight of political prisoners such as Julian Assange and the Catalan leaders. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
47 min listen
EP13 - Europe Day: Clare and Mick discuss European exceptionalism and the real values of the European project. What is going on with coronavirus tracking apps and why are they a threat to civil liberties? Why is the EU fast-tracking bailouts for airlines but overlooking workers rights? What is Europe doing in the Sahel region of Africa and why are the Irish Defence Forces involved? Tune in to find out, share, like and subscribe. Happy Europe Day! by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
52 min listen
EP24 The Absolute State of the Union: Clare and Mick conduct a post mortem on President Ursula von der Leyen's "State of the Union" address. Finally we're talking about a coordinated European COVID response, but is it too late? Why is the European Union legislating shipping emissions, but letting top polluters like the navy run rampant? Civil unrest in Belarus is being used to push for a change in the way the EU Council makes decisions, so why is so little said about the protests in Bulgaria, a member state? And now that the Moria refugee detention camp on Lesvos has burned to the ground, the EU wants the credit for relocation. But why were those people stuck there in the first place? by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
43 min listen
EP3 - Pandemic, NAMA and Aviation: In the third episode of I4C Trouble, MEPs Daly & Wallace are in Brussels to address the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its effects during the European Parliament's emergency plenary to deal with the crisis. Wallace discusses the Irish government's controversial decision to quietly publish the Comptroller and Auditor General's report on NAMA during a public health crisis. Daly speaks about the historic impact of the pandemic on the transport sector, airlines' demands for bail-outs, implications for workers and the public, and the need for a radical rethink of aviation in the future. Kindly presented by Damien Thomson, political adviser to the GUE/NGL group. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
50 min listen
EP9 - Europe at a Crossroads: the week in review: Clare and Mick are back with a quick round-up of the week in politics at the European Parliament. Whether it's about the deterioration of the rule of law in member states or hiking defence spending while cutting health budgets, the coronavirus continues to place the European Union at a crossroads. Our MEPs tell Damien about their work across each of their committees, and how things in Brussels are shaping up while most of the EU is in lockdown. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
16 min listen
EP23 - War Is Peace in Europe: As Damien returns to the European Parliament after the summer break Clare and Mick have a wide ranging discussion on security and defence issues in Brussels, taking in the arms lobby and security contractors, the EU cybersecurity strategy, the European Defence Fund and the European Peace Facility. Things are on the move everywhere, in Libya, Mali and the Balkans, in Belarus, Turkey and Cyprus. Clare talks about the devastating fire in the Moria detention camp in Lesvos and her blazing intervention into Bulgarian politics in the LIBE committee, while Mick brings grave news about the European Climate Law, up for a vote in the plenary soon after being effectively gutted in the committees. Finally, Julian Assange's trial has just resumed, but the courtroom is virtually empty, and Mick and Clare are not there. Why? Recorded on Friday, September 11. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
49 min listen

Finally, they explain how Parliament's committees work on files, and speak about two important files they have responsibility for.

Our MEPs discuss the successful completion of a progressive "Wallace Report" at the environment committee, recognizing how the climate crisis affects the Global South. Also: what is it with the European Parliament's obsesssion with regime change in Venezuela? What do Clare and Mick think of the new Irish cabinet? And what is Mick's book of the week? Presented by Damien Thomson. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
55 min listen
Golfgate and more Golfgate: With Damien yet to return from the summer recess Clare and Mick sneak into the studio to discuss the Galway society dinner scandal that seized Irish politics for a week, stampeded all the way to Brussels and claimed the head of Ursula von der Leyen's biggest commissioner. What did it all mean? What did it achieve? And as Alexander Lukaschenko's days begin to look as if they are numbered, Mick asks, what's next for Belarus? by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
49 min listen
EP6 - Solidarity Me Arse!: “We’re all in this together” is one of the mantras we’ve read and heard most over the last month in dealing with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. But are we really? In episode 6 of I4C Trouble Clare and Mick take a closer look at modern day solidarity and some of the issues that would suggest not all individuals, businesses and Governments are in it together. Kindly presented by Damien Thomson, political adviser to the GUE/NGL group. Thanks for listening! ? by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
42 min listen
EP5 - Propaganda and Sanctions against Iran with Ali Alizadeh: In this episode of I4C Trouble we have our very first guest - Iranian-British writer and anti-war activist Ali Alizadeh. Our MEPs Clare Daly and Mick Wallace talk sanctions and Iran, with attention to the current coronavirus crisis. Alizadeh invites us to rethink what we think we know about Iran. Is Iran just a “rogue state” or is this term part of a prolonged campaign to delegitimize Iran? Kindly presented by Damien Thomson, political adviser to the GUE/NGL group. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
65 min listen
Needle and the damage done: Mick is coughing, which he blames on the heat, but he plans to stick around for a while yet. However, the ignoramus Trump won't be sticking around, and with Biden only barely alive what's the future for the US after the riots on Capitol Hill? Did Europe get its Covid-19 vaccine order right? Mick and Clare discuss the corona virus and how biodiversity loss will create more virus problems in the future. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
38 min listen
History says, don't hope: Clare and Mick give their reaction to the US presidential election and discuss what changes the world is likely to see under Biden and Harris. Meanwhile, The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees has run out of money at a time that the new US vice president, Kamala Harris, has promised to provide $70 million a week to Israeli security. Elsewhere, the fallout from CAP is still rankling with our two MEPs, particularly the clueless coverage of the deal back in Ireland. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
43 min listen
EP26 Commissioner Hearings, Afghanistan and the Rule of Law: This week on I4C Trouble, Mick spills the beans on the hearings for the new Irish commissioner-designate, Mairead McGuinness. Clare reports on Europol's troubling aspirations to become a European FBI, and describes the interesting parliamentary politics around the first Rule of Law resolution, which centre on Bulgaria. The European Parliament discusses returning refugees to Afghanistan against the backdrop of an extremely precarious peace process. And while made up fears of "foreign interference" are used to justify massive military spending, the EU just doesn't seem to be able to stop itself interfering in elections in Latin America. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
44 min listen
EP22 - Meanwhile On Planet EU: As Irish media coverage of Brussels wanes in the wake of Commissioner Phil Hogan's resignation over Golfgate, the real story of what goes on in the EU and further abroad remains untold. The people of Lebanon suffer the aftermath of a devastating industrial and economic crisis. The war on Syria rages on. The EU-MERCOSUR trade deal continues into law, and workers in the aviation industry suffer the effects of COVID-19. And where now for EU data protection after the historic defeat of Privacy Shield in the courts? All this and more in the latest episode of I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
55 min listen
EP38 - Big Pharma In The Driving Seat: All eyes on the EU (for once) as details begin to emerge of the bungling of the vaccine rollout… In other news, Clare discusses EU policing cooperation with Israel, how Russian interference is being used to justify increased EU arms expenditure, and we have some spectacular stream-of-consciousness musings from Mick, bringing us from the Common Agricultural Policy to why the western media is so obsessed with Navalny, via Yemen and Belarus. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
46 min listen
EP25 Solidarity and Human Rights: As Mick gets noticed in Belarus, our MEPs discuss the ongoing weaponisation of human rights. The EU’s New Pact on Migration and Asylum has been unveiled, but besides lots of talk of solidarity, it seems less designed to help refugees and asylum seekers than it is to send them back where they came from and pander to the anti-migrant member states. In a review of recent legislation and developments in the European Parliament, Clare and Mick discuss European Arrest Warrants, the European Year of Rail, vaccines, and what the floundering CAP talks mean for Ireland, Environment, Clean Food. All this and more, in the latest episode of I4C Trouble. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
50 min listen
The Fracas in Caracas: The great bastion of democracy, the European Union, claimed the recent elections in Venezuela were a fraud, even before they took place. Unlucky for them intrepid travellers Mick and Clare were two of four MEPs who bothered to journey to Caracas to observe proceedings for themselves. This is their account of what really went down in Venezuela. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
39 min listen
And I said, let grief be a fallen leaf...: Mick's 96-year-old mother Maureen has sadly just passed away. Exiled in Brussels and unable to return home for the funeral, Mick remembers his late mother with a couple of interesting stories. Elsewhere, the European Parliament is getting locked down and the MEPs are about to get locked out. Clare rallies against the mistreatment and push backs of migrants and refugees on the European borders. Mick is taking on the lobbyists who are muddying the waters over the banning of lead shot. And the two MEPs make their predictions on which numbskull is likely to win the undemocratic US Presidential Election. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
36 min listen
EP16 - Make Austerity Green Again?: Hot on the heels of the June plenary Clare and Mick compare notes on the big votes of the week, including their motion on the Black Lives Matter movement, the EU-Israel Euro-Mediterranean Aviation Agreement, and yet another human rights debate on Hong Kong. And, as the Green Party membership gears up to vote on whether to form a coalition with Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael, our MEPs get down to brass tacks with the joint Programme for Government. Is it the green revolution it's cracked up to be or is it a recipe for five more years of selling out? by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
51 min listen
EP27 Bulgaria, Climate Law and Free Assange: In the twenty-seventh episode of I4C Trouble Clare explains why fundamental rights in Bulgaria were on the plenary agenda in October and why the largest group in the Parliament learned to regret it, while Mick discusses the strong position the Parliament has taken in the Climate Law. In other news, an Irish campaign to free Julian Assange was launched last week by the Galway Alliance Against War, the Parliament revisits the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on Iran, and Venezuela wins its appeal in the UK courts over its stolen gold reserves. by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace
44 min listen
EP11 - COVID-19 and Social Care with Jane Johnstone: In the eleventh episode, disability and autism activist Jane Johnston tells Clare and Mick how the pandemic has impacted carers and the people they care for, and gives her thoughts on what’s included in the Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael joint framework document. Presented by Damien Thomson, political adviser to the GUE/NGL group. Thanks for listening! ? by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace

EP 161 - Ceasefire Calls, #CareRef, Assange, Navalny and the Nature Restoration Law's Grand Finale: A bunch of important votes and debates in the EP plenary drew the attention of the Irish media this week. After nearly five years of ignoring the case of Julian Assange, MEPs finally agreed to allow a discussion of his case onto the agenda. So where does his case stand now? The hotly-debated Nature Restoration Law - one of the flagship pieces of legislation of this mandate - finally made it over the line in a watered down form. How should it be understood? After four months of cowardly semantics about "humanitarian pauses," the European Parliament finally backed a call for a real ceasefire in Gaza. But is it something to celebrate or has it come too late? Following the appalling death of Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison, are MEPs using it to pursue a geopolitical agenda? And as Ireland gears up for a constitutional referendum, is the Care Amendment a genuine improvement, or does it sw by I4C Trouble with Daly and Wallace

Then on to the biggest foreign policy question of the day - Ukraine. Last Wednesday when we recorded the episode was supposed to be the day the war would start but that’s not what’s happening. Mick talks about challenging the general narrative about this in the parliament. There was also a plenary debate on the death penalty in Iran. Mick and Clare are against the death penalty anywhere but they point to the timing of this debate and the ongoing JCPOA talks in Vienna. Then we talk about the visit of Iván Duque, the president of Colombia to Strasbourg. From condemning the death penalty in one country, to inviting a ruler responsible for the deaths of hundreds of his own citizens to address the parliament, the EP is nothing if not inconsistent with how it deals with human rights violations abroad.
