  • Top class

    I look forward to the podcast every week. Mick has been one of the best journalists in Ireland for well over a decade. I love his easygoing style of getting to the point. We are blessed to have such a balanced journalist when we see the nonsense in other countries. Keep it going and stay in by the wall

  • Not on the ball

    Great topics but not on the ball. Richard O Rawe said South Armagh IRA didnt trust Scappatici.

    That’s a fascinating statement but did Clifford ask why that was?

    Many other examples

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE RIVALRY: Eoin O’Malley
Q: Did your family connection give you greater insight?
I might have been biased. I grew more in admiration of Haughey as I researched him, but it was hard to divorce myself from that influence.
THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE RIVALRY: Eoin O’Malley
Q: Why did you write the book?
I turned what I had written into this book, which tries to look more at how the two men interacted and how their interaction and their rivalry shaped what became kind of modern Ireland.
THESE DIVIDED ISLES: Philip Stephens
Q: What parallels can be drawn between Brexit politics and the situation in Northern Ireland?
Extremist views are increasingly influencing British politics and could negatively impact the management of Northern Ireland's future.
THESE DIVIDED ISLES: Philip Stephens
Q: How did the British military conduct in Northern Ireland contribute to the troubles?
Segments of the military behaved as a lawless militia, creating a perception of the nationalist community as the enemy, which exacerbated tensions.
THESE DIVIDED ISLES: Philip Stephens
Q: What historical sentiments drove British attitudes towards Ireland leading to Partition?
British interests were focused on maintaining the integrity of the empire rather than genuine concern for Irish issues, resulting in Partition being seen as a temporary measure.
