Writer, playwright and Aosdána member Rosaleen McDonagh joins Emilie Pine to discuss her debut novel, Contentious Spaces. Set within a close-knit Traveller community facing eviction from its halting site, it is an unflinching story of family, identity, grief and resilience – and of people fighting to preserve their homes, history and dignity.
