The risk is significantly increased with these higher doses of MDMA, which we've never seen before in Ireland.
What's Going on Panel ?
Q: What do you think is the public sentiment towards military spending in light of recent world events?
The public has started to understand the need for increased military spending due to current threats in Europe.
What's Going on Panel ?
Q: Are you concerned about the threat level we face?
There are definitely threats, though the perception in Ireland may differ from that in Eastern Europe.
In Conversation with Andrea Mara
Q: Do you feel increased pressure because of the success of All Her Fault?
There's increased interest due to the success, but it helps publicity rather than weighing me down.
In Conversation with Andrea Mara
Q: How faithfully did they do it? And how faithfully did your dialogue last as it made it to the screen?
The opening scenes of the first episode are pretty faithful to the opening chapter of the book, with many core themes and characters retained, though additional storylines were added.
