In a landslide vote in 2018, Irish voters repealed the country's 35-year abortion ban. How did such a transformation take hold in a nation known for its religious and conservative values? Joe McHugh, who served as the Government's Chief Whip during this time, will reflect on this groundbreaking moment in Irish history and offer broader insights into politics, persuasion, and consensus-building over contentious matters and in polarizing times.
