Uachtarán Shinn Féin, Mary-Lou McDonald, was a young teenager in Dublin during the time of the 1981 Hunger Strike. She speaks in this episode about her earliest memories hearing about Bobby Sands’ death, to this year of reflection four decades on and about how the Hunger Strikers' aim of a united Ireland is now closer than ever before.
