Episode Details

Senator Noel O’Donovan is sounding the alarm on the Skibbereen to Baltimore greenway project, arguing against using compulsory purchase orders and calling for smarter, fairer development. Beyond infrastructure, he’s pushing for farmers’ rights, easier farm succession, and urgent reform of fishing policies that have crippled the industry for decades. His four years as a Garda gave him a front-row view of systemic gaps—especially in mental health care—and fueled his lifelong commitment to public service. Now on the Justice Committee, he’s tackling gender-based violence, advocating for more rural police presence, and demanding drug education to combat international criminal activity targeting West Cork. He also insists on serious investment in coastal roads, housing, and education—key pillars for the region’s future.
