Mary Kenny 1999 Irish feminist icon, talks about her life in journalism, drunken days at The Irish Times and the death of two nephews as a result of heroin.
I made this show to be broadcast at Christmas 2018 as a kind of public service by RTE Radio 1, in my series the Joe Jackson Tapes Revisited. The interview was originally done in 1999, at the time of Mary Kenny's book, Death by heroin; Recovery by Hope. And as I say in the intro to the radio show I wanted to remind people prior to their Christmas excesses, about the dangers of drugs such as heroin. Sadly, RTE "pulled" the show. But happily, for me, and hopefully for listeners, it may pass on that warning and much more good info, as we head into Christmas celebration in 2020.
