Wednesday Jun 09, 2021
For this episode, I had the great pleasure of chatting with domestic violence support worker, June Murphy. This is essentially a conversation about the importance of removing yourself from toxic relationships in the interest of self-preservation. We spoke about June's whirlwind involvement with Sinn Fein, her maltreatment by the party at local level, and the bitter break-up with them that opened up new avenues for her. A domestic violence survivor herself, June tells us about her own harrowing experience and how she has come full-circle to fill the role of support worker with YANA-North Cork Domestic Violence Support Project.
