Ivan's guest on the Thursday Interview this week is a national figure - someone known to you, probably through his current role with Amnesty International Ireland.

You will know about their campaigning on many international and social issues, not least before and during the Marriage Equality and Repeal the Eighth campaigns.

A proud Wexford man - he also sued the Catholic Church successfully following the horrific abuse he suffered as a child.

He has stood for election, been a member of the Seanad, as well as the founder of ‘One in Four’.

Ivan was delighted to welcome Colm O’Gorman to the show, a man who, despite the abuse that he suffered at the hands of Fr Sean Fortune, believes in the 'goodness of humanity'.
