Make Ireland Great Again

Make Ireland Great Again sees Richard Chambers meet key allies of U.S. President Donald Trump, who set out a growing list of grievances and expectations for the Irish Government. Against the backdrop of the global energy crisis and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, the documentary explores mounting concerns that the long-standing economic and political ties between Ireland and the U.S. are coming under unprecedented pressure. With Ireland’s economic success closely tied to U.S. multinationals, contributors warn that the foundations of that relationship may no longer be guaranteed. The documentary also explores the rising influence of “MAGA” political figures beyond the US, including commentary on recent Irish protests and the search by some for an Irish equivalent political movement.  From trade and taxation to defence and diplomacy, Make Ireland Great Again offers a sobering look at the challenges facing one of Ireland’s most important international relationships and asks whether the country is prepared for a changing global order. - Le tacaíocht ón Scéim Nuachta agus Cúrsaí Reatha na Teilifíse Tráchtála Neamhspleáiche Supported by the News and Current Affairs Independent Commercial Television Scheme - #DonaldTrump #MAGA #Ireland #USElection #RichardChambers #IrishPolitics #USPolitics #Geopolitics #Documentary #VirginMediaNews
