Remembering Cathleen O'Neill, who beat down a path for other women
“A force bigger than life itself,” said a eulogy by O’Neill’s friend Carmel Jennings. “Working-class warrior,” said Rita Fagan, another friend of O’Neill’s.
“Everyone’s giving out about the lack of diversity in the media,” says Stephanie Costello, of the Media Interns Alliance. “But nobody’s looking after the most vulnerable: the student journalists and the interns.”
Legally, there should be no such thing as an “unpaid internship”, says employment solicitor Richard Grogan.
