This week it was announced that the director of Social Justice Ireland Fr Sean Healy was stepping down from his role after half a century working on behalf of the most marginalised in society. 

Along with his co-founder of SJI, Sr Brigid Reynolds, he is calling it a day to make way for the next generation. 

On the podcast he speaks about his origins in Cork, his early experiences in Africa, how Bertie Ahern roped him into talking to Fianna Fáil in its pomp, and he asks why Leo Varadkar never got back to him on his proposal to eliminate poverty.
