Patricia Casey, Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry in UCD, as well as consultant psychiatrist at the Mater Hospital is at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which is running all the way until the end of August.

She’s reporting on it for the Irish Independent, and has had some interesting things to say when it comes to political correctness.

She doesn't find 'woke jokes' funny, and believes political correctness in comedy is best avoided.
