Episode Details

On Friday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey spoke with Alexandra, a family carer based in Clare, who shared a deeply personal perspective on the ongoing fuel protests. She described the fear and uncertainty she faces when it comes to accessing emergency medical care for her daughter, particularly if road blockages were to delay an ambulance. While acknowledging people’s right to protest, Alexandra raised serious concerns about the potential risks to vulnerable individuals and called for more targeted, responsible forms of demonstration. Alan began by asking her to outline her situation and why this issue is so critical for her and her family. Photo (c) Stephen Barnes Getty Images Pro via Canva
