WHO WOULD WANT to be President of Ireland?

And why?

Those are two of the questions we put to the six presidential contenders during in-depth interviews for our new podcast series, The Candidate.

Today, we bring you our sixth The Candidate interview. The podcast brings TheJournal.ie readers closer to the presidential hopefuls, offering you a chance to find out more about the nominees before we go to the polls on Friday.

For our sixth The Candidate podcast, our News Editor Sinéad O’Carroll talks to Joan Freeman, founder of Pieta House.

We talked to Freeman about the Iona Institute, her loan from Des Walsh, and what she thinks life is like for men in Ireland today.
