Aisling Dolan: I pass on my sympathies and deep condolences on the very sad news of the loss of Vicky Phelan. Last week, we saw the mid-term elections in the US and a groundswell of support for candidates who stood up for the democratic and electoral process. They stood up for women's choice. One of those candidates has ancestral links with my home town of Ballinasloe - Béal Átha na Sluaighe. I...
