Longford’s Sinead Hussey has been working in RTE for ten years now and prior to that, she worked at Newstalk, Shannonside Radio and LMFM.
#ChooseToChallenge is the theme for International Women’s Day and Sinead believes it’s all about recognising the need to call out gender bias and inequality.
She explained, “As we battle the social, economic and political fallout from Covid-19, the need for this is greater than ever. We all have a voice and it’s about making that voice heard. This can be in any area of life, from access to education and choices for girls and young women to flexible working.

I ve had everything thrown at me.
