Dr. Austin O'Carroll is a GP in the inner city where he has spent his career caring for the homeless and providing services for addiction, along with all the daily tasks of a busy clinic. He spoke to us about how poverty and trauma affect your health and can decrease your life expectancy by 20 years.

Growing up with a disability due to Thalidomide, a medication available to pregnant women in the 60's which caused birth defects, Austin was told he wouldn't be able for the physical demands of the hospital but he knew he wanted to help people and has done just that. Austin is passionate about the rights of homeless people and drug users, and spoke to us about how society has failed them.

Ibrahim Alagha and his young family were on a trip from Ireland visiting family in Gaza when war broke out on October 7th 2023. As the bombs dropped around them, he made the risky decision to move his family further south to Khan Yunis where he thought they would be safer. They sheltered in his father’s home for 50 days while waiting to get home to Ireland. That house in Khan Yunis has since been destroyed and the 90 people who took refuge there have now been displaced once again.

Ibrahim told us his harrowing story of life in a war zone and explained the situation in Palestine currently for his family and friends still stuck there.
