One rural GPs campaign for a greener society, both inside and outside the clinic
In this episode IDE member and GP, David O’Connell, talks to Dingle GP, Dr. Peadar O’Fionnain about his path into local climate activism and his current campaign to be elected as Kerry’s first Green member of the county council.
They discuss a range of issues - how the process of seeking election has led to a richer engagement with local community; the unique potential of the local doctor to promote change; the sometimes conflicted role of medicine in relation to a green agenda; the importance of community and interdependence; and some of the successes achieved on the Dingle peninsula.
