On today’s Women’s Podcast, three women who feature in a new book about migration and immigrant communities, speak to Kathy Sheridan about their experiences of moving to Ireland.
New to the Parish: Stories of Love, War and Adventure from Ireland's Immigrants, is written by Irish Times' journalist Sorcha Pollak, who has collated the stories of 14 people she has interviewed as part of a weekly series she writes for this paper.
To celebrate the book’s release, the Women’s Podcast hosted a special live episode at The Dean Hotel in Dublin.
