In this episode MSc Environmental Psychology student, Róisín Reddy, discusses spatial and environmental justice in the context of Ireland. We explore how these concepts intersect and how both contribute to the critical analysis of perceptions of space and the role they play in unequal distributional patterns. Using the example of County Leitrim, Róisín highlights some of the main challenges being faced there in recent years, how the communities have responded and asks the question, why Leitrim? In light of this topic, we go on to discuss environmentalism in Ireland using Hilary Tovey’s (1993) work to explore how it relates to present environmental activist movements occurring in ‘rural’ Ireland.
