In episode 8 of our SJI Seminar Series we take a look back to our 30th Annual Social Policy Conference and to the Keynote Address by President Michael D. Higgins. In this address, President Higgins reflects on the relative positions of the economy and society, and the shape of political discourse.
This is an important and relevant address now in the context of finding our way through the current crisis to a just society. It is also important in the context of ongoing discussions on the formation of a new Government and the formulation of a Programme for Government which will shape the policy decisions affecting all of us over the coming term.
