Programme Title: |
Part 1 | ||
Description: |
Presented by Alan Titley, this programme sets out to tell the story of the Irish Language from its origins in the beginning of time to the present day. He uses a mixture of ancient writings and modern cartoons to illustrate the stories from down through time, and the ancient personalities we know about connected to Irish language from across ancient Europe, right up until Gaels landed in Ireland and after, New Grange in Co. Antrim profiled, and he discusses the legends of Irish folklore the origins of the word 'Celtic' what archaeologists have told us about Irelands first inhabitants 9000 years ago and whereabouts in Europe and Asia, Africa they came from. Irish was spoken thousands of years before it was written down. The written epics like the Tain are profiled, using cartoon characters to tell the story, it illustrates the importance of agriculture in Ireland, with bothair meaning road for cows. The Druids in Ireland are also mentioned as is folklores importance, Druids were bastions of knowledge and language in their time. They were also widespread across Europe, in the 5th century Irish is the language Patrick heard as a slave in Ireland. The legend is Patrick introduced written Irish. Alan Titley explores how written Irish developed using the Latin alphabet, the legend of Oisin is told as it tells of the tension between the old Pagan Ireland and the new Christian Ireland in Patrick's time. The monasteries wrote down everything they were the universities of that time, their works are profiled in literature and art. In the 6th century Gaels invaded Scotland with their language and the bible, and the Anglo Saxons invaded England the beginning A. Titley says of the clash between the two languages. Colmcille's mission to Scotland is highlighted and his 40 churches in Ireland, he died in 597AD. The island of saints and scholars title is examined as Irish established monasteries in Europe between 575 and 725 Irish monks established 113 monasteries in France and Switzerland, 26 in Germany, 10 in Austria and 3 in Italian Alps. Some of the works from these institutions are profiled. A Titley then explores the use of grammar in the Irish language and its Latin origins. Also the Irish languages use of capital letters a first at that time, as was spaces between letters and punctuation, plus the ancient legal system known as Brehon's law are over 2500 pages written in Irish. Some of these ancient laws on divorce are mentioned the Vikings however caused turmoil in this Irish Civilization from the end of the 8th century. A Titley examines this era from 795AD and the damage they done and of course Viking words which became part of the Irish language, and their influence of Dublin is profiled and questioned. Then in 1014 at Clontarf a battle between Brian Boru and the Vikings defeated the Vikings, but Boru was killed, the Vikings fled to Scotland where Macbeth was King and he spoke Irish also. But in 1169 Diarmuid Mac Murchadha invited the Normans to Ireland to help regain his Leinster Kingdom but the Normans didn't leave, and changed the course of Irish history, and the Irish language. The programme then examines the course of events that followed the Normans arrival, capturing Wexford then moving to Dublin. Then establishing strongholds across Ireland, the new invaders spoke French, Strongbow married Diarmuid's daughter Aoife. French became the administrative language of Waterford/ Kilkenny for next 300 years. But the Norman invasion hadn't a massive effort on the ordinary rural Irish citizen and the Irish Gaels held onto their culture in these years. This is seen in the book of Leinster which the programme profiles, including Fionn Mac Cumhaill, the programme also explores the role of Gaels in the international stage in the early centuries including poet Muirioch O' Dalaigh born in the 12th century who eventually became poet to the O'Connor clan in Co. Sligo and beheaded a taxman and fled to Scotland. Then he went to the Crusades and to Jerusalem he died in Scotland in 1240 his family produced poets for the next 600 years. In 1366 the statutes of Kilkenny began to try to curtail the use of the Irish Language. A Titley explains its contents if you spoke Irish you would lose your lands. This wouldn't be the last constriction on speaking Irish. See Part2. | ||

Then Nolan announces a new Ulster people's forum tactic over protests he says they have announced white line protests will replace blocking roads, in a recorded interview he talks about this new tactic with Jamie Bryson of the UPF and why they made the change, he admits not all protesters are happy with the change but he won't condemn them for doing different things, S. Nolan gives him a cross examination on the UPF's plans and their leadership, and attitudes to politicians. He calls J. Bryson a failed political entity who only got 167 votes he also calls him a poster boy for UPF, Bryson says protests aren't about him, Bryson's calls for DUP's Peter Robinson to resign his seat and collapse the executive is highlighted, he's asked who does he think he is to make such demands, he replies that's his personal view not the UPF views.

Then SDLP's Dolores Kelly says concerns in nationalism about policing have been raised by different PSNI actions in different areas, she's happier now the PSNI are taking road blocks seriously. Then DUP'S G. Campbell says most protests were lawful and peaceful and he attended them, he defends attending protests despite DUP leader P. Robinson calling for protests to end. G. Campbell says PSNI don't arrest republicans at Easter with masks, he says loyalist law breakers also should be arrested, he and Nolan then debate what actions the PSNI have taken to date, then Alliance's S.

Mark Carruthers discusses the implication of Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams Dail apology for the 1996 killing of Garda Gerry McCabe by the PIRA during a robbery. The apology came during a Dail debate on the recent killing of Garda Adrian Donohue during a robbery in the South. Firstly a film report shows Gerry Adams comments in the Dail, then in the studio two Executive ministers Sinn Fein's John O'Dowd and DUP's Edwin Poots discuss the statement and what does it mean for dealing with the past. John O'Dowd is asked why this apology came now, he says it's a peace process of events moving forward, we want a dialogue says J. O'Dowd, he says Adams was comparing the human tragedy in both McCabe/ Donohue murders. If he wasn't in the IRA why apologise for IRA? O'Dowd claims he was apologising on behalf of wider republican family as an elected representative. E. Poot's welcomes fact Gerry Adams recognises it's wrong to kill police officers and apologised but he falls short in not apologising for 300 RUC murders, he refers to UVF remorse at their ceasefire. The example of UVF is criticised by both J. O'Dowd and M. Carruthers's, O'Dowd highlights different views in different communities on IRA and RUC and calls for dialogue. O'Dowd is pushed on no apology for RUC deaths. He highlights conflict here being different he denies he's creating a hierarchy of victims and says one combatants group can't be separated from another he maintains he has sympathy for RUC widows, but their pain and grief is the same as republican families who lost loved ones. E. Poot's admits the issue is complicated but sorry is a simple word, he says that's not a big ask and says Sinn Fein lack courage to say sorry. Poots highlights D. Cameron's apology for Bloody Sunday and the series of inquiries into collusion allegations, O'Dowd's says PIRA has apologised for violence where civilians lost lives. He comments on Sheena Campbell's murder and Craigavon council unionists refusal to pass sympathy vote, and highlighted DUP Cllrs recently refusing to stand in sympathy at death of father of a Sinn Fein Cllr. E. Poot's asks was it wrong for the LVF to murder PSNI Constable O'Reilly or Con Arbuckle by loyalists J. O'Dowd is asked about executive discomfort he feels sitting with A. Foster whose RUC father the PIRA tried to kill. He respects Arlene's position and says the aim is to prevent it ever happening again, he denies his party has taken a partitionist position on apologies. Poots repeats he wants Sinn Fein apology. Next a film report looks at plans to make Derry's Shackleton army barracks the HQ for the Department of Agriculture with Sinn Fein's agriculture minister Michelle O'Neill's views. Then Ballykelly community worker Tina McCloskey's views on new jobs, problems with Shackleton site are explored, SDLP's John Dallat comments, then M.

He then introduces a film report from Stephen Dempster looking back to the beginning of the flag protests in December 2012, with film clips of two months of protests and reaction of Larry Mawhinney a restaurant owner on effect on his business. Then Alliance MP Naomi Long describes the abuse directed at her office staff and Cllrs. N. Long has got three death threats. Dempster then profiles the vote on designated days which Alliance supported as a compromise between Sinn Fein/SDLP position of no flags and DUP/UUP position of union flag 365 days a year on city hall, unionist Cllrs mounted leaflet campaign Alliance blames that for raising tensions. DUP's N. Dodds rejects that claim in his views, journalist Liam Clarke comments, did unionist leaflet focus on East Belfast because in 2010 N. long Alliance took that Westminster seat of P. Robinson? N. Long defends this viewpoint but N. Dodds rejects that. Back in the studio Noel Thompson and Mark Davenport show the results of the Spotlight poll to various questions, No1 How many days should the union flag fly at city hall, answers show 18 designated days got 44% 365 days got 35%, never got 10%, other 6%, when question was asked to a solely unionist grouping. The answers were 365 days 73% 18 days 23% never 0%. Then when the nationalist panel was asked the figures were 365 days 5% 18 days 64% never 20%. The interviewees in total were asked when protests began to what extent did you agree or disagree with the, agree was 51% disagree 37% neither 10%, then answers from solely unionist respondents was agree 83% disagree 11% neither 5%. The next question was do you think the protests should now stop or continue, from a unionist audience the figures were 54% stop, 45% continue, the responses for the general population were stop 77% and continue 21% Noel Thompson then invites texts on the figure be sent in from the viewing audience, he then asks does the recent census figures showing a narrowing gap between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland mean a United Ireland could be coming into view, this is followed by another S. Dempster film report examining the possibility of this as Sinn Fein call for a border poll Gerry Adams comments, Good Friday Agreement referendum rules explained. Northern Ireland Secretary T. Villiers rejects a poll, then Gerry Adams views again on Sinn Fein position. Newsletter's Sam McBride then comments on the idea, a Protestant majority in Northern Ireland means the union is safe, and comments on the position of 1 in 5 people here who say they are Northern Irish are their votes up for grabs. Gerry Adams comments on the challenge here then Sam McBride on DUP's response to border poll idea, and if a poll would further destabilize unionism. P. Robinson's views at party conference shown, then pro union Catholic, ex RUC man R. Doherty comments yet he has never voted for unionist party. He rejects Gerry Adams persuasion totally. Back in the studio Noel Thompson and Mark Davenport discuss their poll question if there was a referendum on United Ireland tomorrow how would you vote. Northern Ireland to remain in UK 65%, United Ireland 17%, Not vote 12% Don't know 5% when reduced to committed voters 79% remain in UK, 21% for United Ireland analysis of figures given. When the question was put to Catholics remain in the UK was 38%, United Ireland 35%, not vote 18%, don't know 9% traditionally assumptions turn on their head here, the question was then out to people who called themselves Northern Irish, the figures were remain in the UK 72%, United Ireland 7%, not vote 16% don't know 6% more analysis given. Then N. Thompson joins a panel of politicians to get their responses to the poll figures, they are G. Kelly Sinn Fein, A. Attwood SDLP, D. Kennedy UUP, A. Foster DUP, S. Farry Alliance, G. Kelly rejects polls and says look at last election figures, he won't believe 23% of Sinn Fein voters would stay in the UK, then DUP's A. Foster welcomes poll results as very clear, the challenge for the DUP is to reach out to Catholics, UUP's D. Kennedy comments on attacking Alliance over flag vote, he denies protests are counterproductive in getting Catholics to vote unionist he says UUP is reaching out to Catholics but figures reject that's, then SDLP's A. Attwood refers to previous 'pipe dreams' that are now a reality, he calls poll a snapshot, but debate will change minds he claims but it's a big task. He outlines his plans for a debate strategy, D. Kennedy challenges his approach Alliances S. Farry says the poll message of a border poll isn't relevant at this time. He outlines why he feels this, he and D. Kennedy clash over flag protests and damage to shared future idea. A. Foster attacks city hall vote on flags as non-consensual politics, Sinn Fein's G. Kelly points out unionism censure of Irishness in councils, even Belfast with 95% British emblems. They reject each other over Belfast Britishness, D. Kennedy points out the vetoing of the National Crime Agency as non-consensual. A. Attwood highlights new order of politics here is that Northern Ireland will look and feel different but nobody has lost or won, he calls on UUP to regroup and tell their people union flag on designated days isn't a threat. A. Foster highlights position of unionists in the councils in the west, where nationalists removed the union flag altogether. Next Noel Thompson returns to another poll question were they asked does our political system favour one community over the other, 39% said yes 48% said no 12% said don't know. Then S. Dempster film report explores more into this issue, begins in middle class Malone Road, now home of Catholic growing middle class and in poll many of them voted to stay in UK, as current settlement in Northern Ireland is seen as fair to both sides here, but in East Belfast that view isn't shared. Film of blocked roads, two local mothers Sharon Kirkwood and Julie Ann Workman talk of their dissatisfaction at present, flag issue was last straw. Then poll question on imbalance in politics here analysis of figures shows working class unionists the angriest at current system. Then QUB Prof. R. English says working class loyalists upset by the success of Sinn Fein and their dissatisfaction with the unionist leadership has been voiced during flag protests, with DUP getting most blame, but DUP's N. Dodds responds that the vast majority of unionists support DUP, Ulster Peoples forum role profiled. Journalist Brian Rowan comments on unionist revolt not being like it was in 1974 or 1985 Anglo Irish agreement protests, but he feels P. Robinson won't walk down Newtownards Road. N. Dodds rejects this idea, in the poll 37% unionists felt Robinson handled protests badly, 30% well, 23% neither, then R. English on DUP's dilemma poll response on N. Long gets well 30 %, Badly 33% neither 16%. Back in the studio S. Farry Alliance defends N. Long's conduct during the flags protest he's confident she will retain the seat, then A. Foster defends P. Robinson's poor figures she highlights investment into Northern Ireland and low unemployment in East Belfast. Sinn Fein's G. Kelly highlights changes in Northern Ireland since Good Friday Agreement in economics ere, he repeats unionist created flags problem over East Belfast seat loss, D. Kennedy criticises DUP and P. Robinson he praises unionist forum, Alex Attwood wants more agreement politics and outwork Good Friday Agreement, A. Foster rejects their city hall vote on this. | ||

Description: |
In this series of programmes William Crawley tells the story of Ulster's Presbyterians, he looks at the Scottish ministers who first established the Presbyterian Church on Irish soil with profiles of early Presbyterian leaders John Knox and John Calvin and their fall out with the established churches. He also profiles the role of early Northern Ireland Presbyterians like Robert Blair, with comments of academics Prof. Lawrence Kirkpatrick and union theological college and Prof. Jane O'Hlymer Trinity College Dublin, Dr. Robert Armstrong TCD. W. Crawley also explores how the Presbyterian Church of today governs itself as a democratic organisation with no bishops. The Church was born out of a religious revolution that's consumed Europe, W. Crawley looks back at those times in the 16th century and the reformation, profiling Calvin's revolutionary ideas of the church and what he gave to Presbyterianism, beginning in his church in Geneva which John Knox attended, then returned to Scotland to spread the new ideas. By 1560 Scots declared the mass illegal, Scotland was now Protestant, in 1583 James VI became Scots first protestant King, but the Church of Scotland was split between Episcopalians and Presbyterians, he didn't trust Presbyterians and appointed a hierarchy of bishops of his choice to run the church. The rebellious Presbyterians looked to Ulster as a land of refuge, as Ulster was short of ministers and it was considered although not Anglican a Presbyterian minister in Ireland, 1613-1636, then profile of Robert Blair unofficial leader of early Ulster Presbyterians begins in church archives. He called Ireland an uncouth and dangerous country. W. McCawley examines the conflict between Blair and Anglican bishops and the compromise which as shattered at Antrim revival meeting known as the Six Mile water revival, where Rev James Glendening put the fear of God into those who heard him, with fire and brimstone preaching. Blair gathered new faithful into Presbyterian Church transforming plantation in Ulster, the bishops demanded it all and Blair was deposed in 1632, in England Charles I was the new King Blair appealed for Clemency, Blair was to get a retrial but in 1634 Blair and other excommunicated, they decided to build a ship called Eagles Wing to take them to America, but the storms forced the ship back to Carrick, were warrants for arrest of Livingstone and Blair where issued. They went back to Scotland to defend the Scottish Kirk against the introduction in 1637 of a Church of England prayer book, to replace John Knox book, which Blair/Livingstone considered popish. W. McCrawley outlines the degree of opposition to the new prayer book in Scotland a riot turned into a revolt he says, the Scottish national covenant details outlined, it would limit Kings Power, it was signed by 60,000 people in 1638. In Ireland Lord Wentworth sent troops from Dublin to quell ulster Presbyterians by making them all sign an oath of rejection of covenant, but Ulster Presbyterians refused to sign this Black Oath and many fled to Scotland, as war spread in Scotland, the native Irish rose in revolt in 1641 and turned on the Protestant settlers and massacred many, the event is still deep in the protestant psyche today. Lawrence Kirkpatrick comments on the 12,000 protestant deaths, In April 1642 general Monroe and 10,000 Scottish army arrive in Carrickfergus, this establishes first Presbyterians back in Ulster and a new moderator John Baird elected for Irish Presbyterian Church, now not controlled by Anglican bishops. Back in England the tension between King Charles I and the puritan parliament erupted into 1 year civil war in 3 kingdoms, which kills 200,000. In Scotland by 1643 Scottish Presbyterians were victorious over King Charles. The Church of Scotland was now Presbyterian. They extended their religious reform campaign to England and Ireland, the puritan English parliament forces backed them, in 1644 the covenant and Robert Blair came to Ulster16,000 signed it, a defining moment for Ulster Presbyterians. But the English puritans didn't make the legislation to make English/Scottish state religion Presbyterian, the execution of King Charles I in 1649, he treated Presbyterians harshly. In 1653 he banished Ulster Scots and papists 'to hell or Connaught' replacing them in Ulster with soldiers. L. Kirkpatrick explains, why Cromwell didn't carry the scheme out in relation to ulster Presbyterians. In 1660 Charles II restored to the throne. Many Presbyterians welcomed that, as he had signed the covenant, but he quickly restored the control of Anglican bishops with new ordination. W. Crawley profiles this move, new Bishop Taylor ejected 34 Presbyterians from Church of Ireland parishes. Ulster Presbyterians gathered in secret services. Profile of Presley opposition to new Church of England ministers illustrated as Presbyterian began building meeting houses, Ireland now had three religious' strains. Anglican Presbyterian and Catholic, however King Charles wanted protestant united against Catholic threat. In 1673 he offered financial aid to every Presbyterian Church in Ireland, an attempt to buy their loyalty says W. Crawley. But in Scotland a war broke out between Charles II and the covenanters, W. Crawley profiles the violence, and visits site of Greyfriers prison, 18,000 converters were killed. Charles II died on 1685 his Catholic brother James became King. In 1688 the birth of his son cause panic amongst English Protestants. Calvinist William of Orange of Holland is offered English crown, the war to decide who would be king is fought in Ireland. In June 1690 Presbyterian's welcomed William to Carrick, the first William victory happened in Derry before William arrived in Ireland William Crawley profiles siege of Derry for 105 days, visiting fist Derry Presbyterian church, but after his victory William let Irish parliament and Anglican bishops control Ireland and the anti-Catholic penal laws also affected Presbyterian's from 1690-1714. William Crawley gives the details of penal laws and their effects in this period, also of spread of poverty. Profile of R. W. McGregor who takes his congregation to America for freedom to worship.

Part 3: Union and Division | ||
Description: |
William Crawley explores the creation of the modern day Presbyterian Church in Ireland born out of a bitter struggle between radicals and conservatives which begin after the failed 1798 rebellion. The 1801 Act of union organised by Robert Stewart, Lord Castlereagh, with the oath of allegiance were measures aimed at crushing radicalism. Prof L. Kirkpatrick says after 1798 Presbyterianism could never be the same again, W. Crawley highlights the actions taken by Lord Castlereagh against his former Presbyterian friends like James Porter, the minister from Greyabbey, hanged outside his own Church. Dr John Bew outlines Castlereagh's plans to W. Pitt the PM on dealing with radical Presbyterians, to financially support Presbyterians who take an oath of allegiance, which the Ulster synod accepted. Dr Andrew Holmes then profiles how Presbyterians accepted a new idea called evangelism, the born again experience, those who supported evangelism soon clashed with those on the liberal wing who supported a new idea called Arianism. W. Crawley explains their beliefs which conservative Presbyterians considered hierarchy, at Belfast's academical institution founded by Liberal Presbyterians in 1814, the battle between Arianism and conservative Presbyterians began, in 1820 Rev Henry Cooke began his campaign to remove Arians from the college, and Dr. A Homes profiles H. Cooke's aims and his conservative Presbyterian philosophy, then L. Kirkpatrick views. Rev Henry Montgomery led the new light Arians. Presbyterians turned out in force to witness the debates between them. W. Crawley outlines Montgomery's beliefs on freedom of conscience., they baited for 5 years until August 1829, reconstruction of that marathon debate is profiled, the Arians lost they decided to leave the Ulster synod, they created a non-subscribing Presbyterian Church. L. Kirkpatrick explains how H. Cooke took control of the evangelic Presbyterian Church and his reforms on selecting ministers. On 10th July 1840, in Cooke Church former dissident Presbyterian, the concessionists joined up with Cooke's evangelists to form a new Presbyterian Church of 650,000 people in Northern Ireland, called Irish Presbyterian Church, it now began to train missionaries to spread its message, two ministers were sent to India, Rev John Dunlop, former Moderator explains its significance.

Crawley visits an Indian Presbyterian meeting, and tells the story of the two minister's first visit and the hardship they faced in Bombay, travelling to Gogha then Rajkot, baby Margaret Glasgow died after 12 days, Two months later her father died. 1843 Four other minister's join them, Rev Vinod Malaviga comments on the Presbyterian Church missionary work spread to Africa and Asia and continues to this day. W. Crawley then highlights the growing economic strength in Belfast driven by Presbyterian entrepreneurs. Dr. Gillian McIntosh comments, on Belfast's industries then QUB prof Paul Bew says this financial success detached them from their radical 18th Century beliefs, Dr Eamon Phoenix agrees. In 1841, Dublin based Catholic lawyer Daniel O'Connell's movement again threatened the union with Britain. In 1829 he was first Catholic MP elected, he wanted to restore a Dublin Parliament, but Northern Presbyterians loyalty now lay with maintaining the union. In 1800 only 4,000 Catholics lived in Belfast but the economic success saw more and more Catholics arrive in Belfast. Dr. E. Phoenix says Protestants feared Belfast would become Catholic citadel. In 1847 the campaign for repeal of 1801 act died with Daniel O'Connell, but henry Cooke's campaign to unite Northern Protestant's against growing Catholic Irish Nationalism continued. Dr. A Holmes gives details of his aims. In 1849 the Catholic Church appointed Paul Cullen Arch Bishop of Armagh, he wanted to rejuvenate the Irish Roman Church. Dr A. Homes explains the hostile's reaction from Ulster Protestants, then W. Crawley comments on promoted cardinal P. Cullen new puritanical regime with new prominent Catholic Church's built in Belfast alarming the Protestants.

Thatcher in Northern Ireland. | ||
Description: |
Introduced by Mark Carruthers this special edition of The View sets out to examine Margaret Thatcher's legacy in Northern Ireland, she was PM during 1979-1990 a violent time in the Troubles during which time she angered both republicans and unionists. The programme begins with a film report from Mark Simpson using archive film. He looks back at Thatcher's policies In Northern Ireland, he refers to her as a PM who always knew what she wanted but not always what was needed, a film clip shows her rejecting a federal Ireland idea, another shows her being told of the INLA killing of her friend Airey Neave, with another Tory MP Ian Gow killed in 1990, these deaths shaped her security policy. She rejected the demands of the Hunger Strikers for political status, film clips shown, the 1984 Brighton bomb was PIRA's attempt at revenge, 5 killed but Thatcher survived, film clips show her reaction, then coverage of her relationship with the Republic and the 1985 Anglo-Irish Agreement, film clip of signing and of unionist reaction. 1987 Thatcher visits Enniskillen bomb site, then broadcasting ban introduced on Sinn Fein, but she did authorise a secret channel of contact with the Sinn Fein leaders. Sinn Fein accuse her of shoot and kill policy and collusion with loyalist paramilitaries and of being responsible for the death of 10 Hunger Strikers. Then in the studio documentary maker and writer Peter Taylor is interviewed by M. Carruthers about Thatcher's policy in Northern Ireland, he says she drove the tough policy herself. She says Northern Ireland as a security problem, he's sceptical about back channel in 2nd Hunger Strike but was used in 1st Hunger Strike, and he says she thought she'd defeated the Hunger Strike. She won in short term but lost in long term he says the Hunger Strike gave political credibility to Sinn Fein after Bobby Sands' election in the end she realised she couldn't get a military victory and signed Anglo-Irish Agreement to get the Republic on her side, she was surprised at Unionist anger, but was reluctant to sign it, he says Thatcher didn't order shoot to kill but it did happen. She unwittingly sowed seeds for political settlement in long term. Next in the studio four local politicians with different views on M. Thatcher and her Northern Ireland legacy give their opinions they are Sinn Fein's G. Kelly, DUP's Arlene Foster, SDLP's Brid Rodgers and UUP's Reg Empey. G. Kelly rejects the idea she sowed the early seeds of the peace process she was arrogant and divisive he says by 1983 5 demands were granted in prisons. Arlene Foster praises Thatcher as an influence and a role model in her life, she was courageous and confident female in male society. She was a patriot says Foster, B. Rodger's accepts she was totally wrong on Northern Ireland, whose attitude and rhetoric during Hunger Strike made her a recruiting agent for PIRA, she gives credit for the Anglo-Irish agreement to Irish Government of G. Fitzgerald then Reg Empey explains why unionists rejected Anglo-Irish Agreement he blames lack of details given to unionists he points out difference in what Thatcher said and they actually did. G. Kelly says Thatcher gave SAS/SB go ahead for killings. A. Foster replies she was entitled to meet fire with fire, she says IRA leaders killed the Hunger Strikers. G. Kelly rejects this idea. B. Rodgers welcomes Anglo-Irish agreement as it made unionists engage in politics, Reg Empey says AIA wasn't constructive it fuelled resentment and set things back. Each then summaries what they think Thatcher's legacy on Northern Ireland will be. Next M. Carruther's introduces a film report on M. Thatcher's relationship with the Irish government between 1970-90 including film clip of her out, out, out comments Then diplomat Eamon Deleney from the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs gives his assessment of M. Thatcher's effect on the wider peace process he highlights the good effect of AIA in 1985 which was replaced by 1998 Good Friday Agreement, he comments on the relationship between Haughey and Thatcher as being very positive despite Hunger Strike and Falklands war views of C. Haughey. Then in the studio BBC political editor Mark Davenport gives an overview of Thatcher's role in Northern Ireland and her views on the Good Friday Agreement.

Mapping Ulster | ||
Programme Title: |
n.a. | ||
Description: |
Historian Gerry Brotton uses a unique collection of maps to explore Northern Ireland's origins revealing the role of the maps and economies in establishing the plantation of Ulster through turbulent times in Ireland. Brotton is professor of Renaissance studies, he refers to maps as much more than enabling one to find your way around. He calls them the map of history and 400 years ago was a defining moment in the history of maps and Spanish, Portuguese and the English entered a period of exploration and discovery laying claim to territories in Americas and Asia, maps were part of the technological kit of explorers back then. Ulster was intensify mapped in the 16th century each maps tells its own story of war and conquest, and the growth of a network of towns. Britton begins with Elizabeth I's plan to conquer Ireland from its Gaelic Chieftains as she feared Spain would use Ireland to invade England at this point Ulster wasn't mapped. What did exist was on a small scale, Ortelus map of Ireland from 1592 is shown. Dr Annaleigh Margey, Dundalk Institute of Technology explains the difficulties facing the English map makers faced when sent to Ireland with her army by Elizabeth. In 1598 Francis Jobson ordered to make a survey of Ulster, his Gaelic Families who ruled Ulster, the map identifies the clans and where they live. Hugh O'Neill was Earl of Tyrone, he was of special interest to Elizabeth, and Brotton visits his Tullaghoge Fort in Co. Tyrone and feels the History of the place. The 9 years' war resulted from Jobson's map as Elizabeth tried to smash Hugh O'Neill's control, at Armagh's battle of Yellowford. The English were defeated, Elizabeth then sent Lord Mountjoy, Charles Blunt to Ireland in 1600. He brought with him map maker called Richard Bartlett. Bartlett's maps are now held in the National Library of Dublin, they open a window into the past Brotton gives his reaction as he views the maps, he highlights the military landscape, castles and forts etc. the maps also tell the story of Mountjoy's campaign including his control of the gateway to Ulster Brotton visits South Armagh QUB James O'Neill explains the battle for this area in September 1600 with eventually Mountjoy seizing the pass. The English built a castle there in 1601, Bartlett's map examined, then the English march on Dungannon. Dr A. Margey uses Bartlett's maps to describe the battle in Dungannon, the ending of Gaelic Ulster. In 1602 Mountjoy destroyed Tullaghoge, O'Neill surrendered. 4 years later he and the other Ulster Chieftains left Ireland for good in the flight of the Earls. The English claimed all their lands. Bartlett's maps are the 17th Century equivalent of a war report to the English courts. His 1602 map titled Armagh and fort of the Mullin is shown, Bartlett was sent to make a map of Donegal where he was killed by the Irish. Elizabeth's successor James I was crowned in 1603. Brotton then details James' early effort to colonise Ulster with Scots and English. A previous 1571 English attempt on the Ards peninsula by Thomas Smith included a published map and booklet. Brotton views it by 1573 the colony failed in violence. In 1603 James Hamilton and Hugh Montgomery are profiled they began new Ards peninsula colonisation. Dr Alison Cathcart of University of Strathclyde explains why Scottish settlers favoured going to Ireland. In 1606 she profiles the new immigrants including R. Hamilton and Montgomery who soon fell out, Hamilton had map maker Richard Ravern draw up maps of where these early settlers lived in Co. Down, Brotton views the maps of Hamilton estate, including Bangor, including the settler's names, Hamilton's castle was at Killyleagh, Brotton visits his dependents, Gawn Rowan Hamilton is interviewed about R. Hamilton 'a hard man to cross'. He also gives details on the commissioning of Raven maps of Killyleigh and the Scots names and settlers. James I then launched his plantation of Ulster plans following the 1607 flight of the Earls at the London National Archives. Brotton looks at the 1609 maps of J. Bodley of west of Ulster used as preparation for settlement with townlands labelled. Rose Mitchell from National Archives comments on the maps. The woodlands are highlighted as timber was worth its weight in gold at that time. Patrick Cregg of the Northern Ireland woodland trust comments on the old woodlands. Next map shown from 1610by John Norden is titles Six Enchanted Counties of Ulster by 1613, 9,000 English/Scottish settlers had settled on James I new estates. Tens of thousands more would join them in coming years. James called on London Guilds involved in Virginia USA to take on estates on North Ulster, Oxford University Dr Ian Archer comments on why James I wanted them involved. A new county was created Londonderry. The maps by Thomas Raven of Londonderry show the division of the lands, the political geography the big fortified town was Derry. Londonderry Ulster University Dr Eamon O'Ciardha explains Londonderry's role in plantation citadel and the London companies, and the riches they wanted, profile of Bellaghy then and now, using Ravens map including Bellaghy Bawn.

Description: |
In tonight's programme S. Nolan asks the question, 13 years after the closure of the Maze/Long Kesh prison will the maze become a shrine to Bobby Sands and the republican Hunger Strikers? Nolan begins by asking the UUP leader Mike Nesbitt to give the reasons why he's against the new centre, he replies with 3 questions. 1) Should we have a peace centre 2) if yes what's its purpose and functions, 3) where should it be the chosen site he says is the most divisive plot of land in the whole of Northern Ireland, He says he will never support the centre at the Maze, he wants consultation with 'innocent victims' he says all shades of ex-prisoners have been consulted but not victims. He claims schoolchildren will be forced to visit the Maze centre. DUP's J. Donaldson says victims groups have been consulted M. Nesbitt shows a list from OFMDFM that he says back up his view. J. Donaldson insists he has met victims groups across Northern Ireland. Both men argue over what the UUP agreed in past years on the site or the planning application. M. Nesbitt then outlines why he thinks the centre will become a shrine to prisoners. J. Donaldson is adamant the DUP will not permit it to become a shrine as they have a veto. S. Nolan asks Donaldson to outline what the focus of the new centre will be, will he ban people from entering or eulogising Hunger Strikers then Sinn Fein's Raymond McCartney a former Hunger Striker from Derry is introduced. A film clip of Raymond on Hunger Strike is shown, he says the site is of historical significance, it should be preserved and dialogue should be done in a sensitive way and that he says is what has got us to where it is today. He says the site should be open to the public where numerous stories could be told, he gives details when asked about his story, but we shouldn't be afraid of history or competing perspectives he adds it wouldn't be proper to ban aspects of history. He then comments on things S. Nolan says J. Donaldson says won't be allowed like tour guides pointing out where Bobby Sands died, M. Nesbitt says when national sports stadiums plan fell, Maze centre was part of that package, it all fell then. Then members of the audience give their views on the maze centre idea, then DUP's J. Donaldson sets out what Bobby Sands is to him, an IRA man ' who starved himself to death under duress from IRA leaders' he defends his comments on not allowing tours of where prisoners died. R. McCartney accuses him of playing to the gallery, dialogue will overcome the obstacles, Donaldson repeats his position he says they haven't agreed any narrative yet for the hospital site. In the audience Serena Hamilton whose UDR father was killed by PIRA in Co. Tyrone explains why she's against the peace centre, it will be a shrine, then Lawrence McKeown a former Hunger Striker says the Hunger Strike will be an inclusive area, he outlines who that will happen, as he's sitting beside Serena, Nolan asks him to convince her about the merits of the centre. He rejects that idea as a sound bite, Nolan pushes his idea, McKeown says no, Serena says her dad was an innocent man, she rejects murder as wrong, L. McKeown says he sees it differently it was a conflict, she calls it a terrorist campaign. L. McKeown says it's about learning from the history of that site. Then audience member's comments on the phone Jude Whyte says project should go ahead, at basic level for jobs, he recalls his mother's murder by the UVF and his later friendship with D. Ervine. Nesbitt asked why UUP supported early release of prisoners and not prisoner's stories being told, he calls for centre to be at Crumlin road jail with an agreed narrative. He says Irish-Americans will come with flowers to Bobby Sands death bed. | ||

She says the bill is not against republican ex-prisoners but everyone convicted of serious crime, the ministers are elected she says and Spads are not, plus Spads are paid from the public purse, so victims taxes got to paying Spads, she argues.

Mark Carruthers begins the programme with a report on the release of Marion Price from prison after serving two years. In the studio the chairman of the Stormont Justice Committee Paul Givan and Derry Sinn Fein MLA and committee deputy chair Raymond McCartney discuss the release from totally different stand points. Paul Givan accuses the parole commissioners of doing a U-turn from two years ago when they said her licence should be revoked, he blames politicians who campaigned to have her released, from Sinn Fein and the SDLP he calls that pressure inappropriate, and he wants to interrogate the parole board at Stormont, for questioning. Paul Givan gives his views on licence system as it is at present. M. Carruthers questions him on his position, they then discuss the two outstanding charges that M. Price faces and what should happen now with due process. Next M. Carruthers introduces a Gareth Gordon film report on the SDLP's management of the TUV's Spad bill and lobbying by Ann Travers, first they looked like supporting a Sinn Fein petition of concern and then they changed their mind, despite A.

McDonnell's performance on this issue, then Irish News editor Noel Doran views. The SDLP says it's going to create a proposal for victims, in the studio victim's commissioner Katherine Stone praises Ann Travers as a member of the victim's forum, and says the forum has differing views and Ann has never said she speaks on behalf of the forum, as victims commission she gave evidence in November. Many support her but others thought it was side swipe at prisoners. She must represent diversity of forum. She says Ann didn't ask her to support her in her talks with the SDLP. The commissioners is asked will the bill help healing in Northern Ireland and asked how she will take the process moving forward. She outlines the forum's three working groups and says tabling something positive for OFMDFM is a matter of weeks away, she says a first draft of findings is in existence. The Forum will make a difference she says. Next commentators QUB Rick Wilford and UU Deirdre Heenan discuss the SDLP handling of the SPAD bill issue, and ethics and morals of the issue and the problem of dealing with the past.

Kavanagh should keep his job. John Rudley disagrees with him in this point, Patricia McBride a former victim's commissioner says A.

Mark Carruthers interviews the DUP's P. Robinson about the upcoming G8 summit in Enniskillen and hears why he thinks it is an opportunity for NI to shine on the global stage, he begins by saying this event couldn't have happened here 10//30 years ago. It's a signal NI has changed for the better, the PM D. Cameron wouldn't have selected NI to host the G8 if he hadn't a high degree of confidence in the place says Robinson, he also adds it's a recognition of NI's place within the UK. He's asked is M. McGuinness comfortable with that, he replies we are all more comfortable now about our individual identities. Robinson says he and McGuinness will be welcoming visitors to G8 together, they will be also holding a reception for all world leaders, benefits for NI will be reputational enhancement and removing NI's old image of the past. He replies to the criticism of some in Enniskillen about the clean-up, the façade presenting the town as being prosperous, he lists other things done like improving the towns internet connections. Next question relates to the joint ministers meeting with D. Cameron in London tomorrow (14/06/13 D09810) Robinson asks what level of investment do they except to get from the British Government again he says everything can't be put down to pounds and pence. It refers to that as begging bowl economics he sees two main platforms for NI. The economic one and the shared future one, tomorrow is about assisting those aims. Carruthers questions him on the value of the economic package again saying its more than money it's an 'enabling' package, but it will be of corporation tax. 64100 unemployed in NI 7.8% Carruthers asks Robinson will they benefit and if the money is the carrot, the stick is that he and McGuinness must do more on building a shared future here. Robinson says its two carrots, not carrot and stick the shared future document is the policy of the executive, nobody needs a stick to get him to move in that direction, he denies they set aside flags, parades and the past but set up a committee to deal with those problems. P. Robinson gives his expectations for this marching season, but NI faces some difficult challenges. With G8 coming here on Monday/Tuesday a film report from Martina Purdy examines the tradition of protest in NI from 1960s, most over our own grievances but sometimes international issues like the Iraq war lead to protests here, so what can we expect from the G8. Patrick Corrigan of Amnesty International will protest about in justices, but fences now surround the Lough Erne hotel resort, Journalist Eamonn McCann is concerned about the restrictions on free assembly, Sinn Fein's G. Kelly says they have worked to ensure the police will be held to account for mistakes as our police ombudsman can investigate incidents at the G8 protests. In Stormont DUP's Lord Morrow called the protesters anarchists and malcontents. Eamonn McCann says the British government and Stormont executive want to portrait NI as peaceful now, Patrick Corrigan says peoples freedom of speech and protest must be protected, protest film maker Velcrow Ripper comments on the new energies of young protesters, across the world but students in Enniskillen College expressed no desire to protest. Then from England Clare Short for Labour International Development Minister gives her views on the level of protest she expects here, with Fermanagh being so remote, she also expects G8 is here to celebrate NI's peace she gives her view on the security in Fermanagh and she gives her views on taxation hunger, mining issues to be discussed at G8. She feels power is moving from G8 to G20. Then commentators Alex Kane and Paul McFadden give their views on P. Robinson's interview on G8 and shared future, their stories of the week and the tweets of the week. | ||

He lists these as he seen them, our pasts are linked and our futures are linked he says. We can build together in a world with fewer walls, instant communication, young people fill him with hope, NI young people are inheritors of a just and hard earned peace where day to day life is changing across the north. He thanks Chief Constable Matt Baggott for keeping everyone safe this week and mentions world police and fire games later this year, he says Belfast is a different city now, abandoned factories are rebuilt, and visitors come from all over, he lists all the benefits of peace in the city now, things that seem ordinary now weren't in your parents' and grandparents' days because of their efforts and courage better days have come. Their dreams for you became a reality. 15 years now since Good Friday Agreement when people replaces fists with stretched hands, over the years other breakthroughs and agreements have followed because fewer conflicts in the world seemed more intractable than here in NI. When peace was achieved here it gave the entire world hope, but much work still needs to be done there are walls that still stand, peace is a long journey he quotes WB Yeats, there's more to lose now than there ever was. Peace here is good for entire Island and UK, other conflicts in the world study what we have done in NI, hope is contagious, Obama admires NI Executive for making power sharing work, and he mentions segregated housing and schools and lack of jobs as issues to be tackled, those encourage division and discourage co-operation, he talks about similar problems in the USA, the civil war and the legacy of slavery which lasted 100 years or more. His own parents' marriage was illegal in certain states and people who looked like him couldn't vote, but hearts and minds changed, driven by committed citizens, especially young people, politicians sometimes follow rather than lead. US has become more tolerant of diversity he says. Obama calls on NI young people to push for change of attitudes he lists things people have a choice to do, to build trust again he recalls President Clinton's words after Omagh when he called it a vicious opening shot on the peace. When Peace is attacked we must respond by going forward not backwards. America will back political and economic progress here, he praises Sylvia Gordon of Groundwork NI which aims to bring about change from the bottom up and her work, he himself started as a community organiser. Obama talks about Alexandra Park in North Belfast divided by a wall, they got a gate to open the wall, it's a small bit of progress, there more work to do on walls, we need young people who remove barriers and bring communities come together. Peace is harder than war, Obama explains this remark ... (Recording ends early before speech finishes). | ||

Thatcher: Ireland and the Iron Lady | ||
Programme Title: |
n.a. | ||
Description: |
This documentary examines former British PM Margaret Thatcher's relationship with Ireland during her years as British PM. She died a couple of months ago. Programme begins with a vox pop of civil servants and politicians who worked with her on her views and also Irish Politicians' comments, then film clip of her funeral. She polarised and inspired in equal measure, helped end the Cold War, won the Falklands war but will forever be associated with police violence at the miners' strike and the poll tax riots, in Ireland it's the Hunger Strikes and the Anglo Irish Agreement (AIA) that define her legacy. Then quotes from D. Cameron, Ronald Reagan about her played followed views of former Irish Deputy PM Dick Spring on her attitude to NI as security problem, but the November 1985 AIA heralded a new dimension in Anglo-Irish affairs. Over the 2 years talks of her aim was to isolate the IRA and reduce the violence. Former NI secretary Douglas Hurd comments on the AIA then Irish civil servant Sean Donlon on Thatcher's expectations then British cabinet secretary Lord Armstrong's views on gains she hoped to achieve in NI and in the USA. Film clip of R. Reagan and Tip O'Neill's welcome for the AIA, Michael Lillis says she would later say it was the USA made her do it. Then Norman Tebbitt recalls Thatcher's battle to take over from Ted Heath and the role of Airey Neave in her campaign, film clip of Airey Neave rejecting any deals with terrorists, then Irish Government Minister M. O'Kennedy recalls his first Thatcher meeting and Airey Neave's role as adviser. Tebbit said Airey wanted a military solution before a political one, growing up in WW2 the war shaped Thatcher's thinking on Ireland. Cabinet Secretary David Goodall recalls her references to the Sudetenland Germans. She considered the Republics claim on NI to be like Hitler's claim on the Sudetenland. In 1979 Airey Neave's view was that NI must be fully integrated into the UK and the IRA destroyed militarily. Thatcher avoided integration but continued with the military option. Douglas Hurd confirms this, and says although she was a unionist she found it uphill work talking to unionists on NI matters. Lord Powell says she did like Ken Magennis of UUP, he then comments on their friendship. She came to NI for the first time after killings of Lord Mountbatten and 18 soldiers in August 1979. It conditioned her whole outlook, NI was a military problem. Film of her Belfast walkabout shown, she gets heckled about the prisoners dispute, J. Lynch met Thatcher at NO. 10 minutes of the meeting show her priorities, intelligence, extradition, co-operation, Irish civil servant Walter Kirwan recalls the meeting as contentious. Then Dermot Nally, Irish Government secretary 1980-1992, recollections of Thatcher losing her temper. B. Ingram says Thatcher felt J. Lynch was useless. In December 1979 J. Lynch resigns. Charles Haughey took a different approach with Thatcher. He set out to charm her and at the beginning it went well, details of a phone call between the two are shown, then B. Ingham views on Haughey. By December 1980 Thatcher/ Haughey relationship was under pressure as IRA inmates at Maze began a Hunger Strike over prison conditions. Gerry Adams recalls that time, and desire for a resolution but Thatcher was adamant she wouldn't give in, Charles Haughey's special adviser Martin Mansergh recalls the two Governments contacts to try and defuse the first Hunger Strike situation using what was then called an Anglo-Irish framework or the 'totality of relationships' as it was also called, but it all fell apart in March 1981 when Brian Lenaghan claimed new Anglo-Irish framework could lead to a united Ireland in 10 years. Former NI secretary Jim Prior says C. Haughey hoodwinked Thatcher a bit. The first Hunger Strike ended when prisoners believed Thatcher was giving in, she hadn't and a second Hunger Strike saw Bobby Sands and 9 other Republican prisoners die, Thatcher was adamant no political status. N. Tebbit says it was IRA leaders who killed the men not Thatcher. Then Sinn Fein's Gerry Adams comments on Thatcher's role, then Jim Prior views, then M. Mansergh says her policy lead to a huge surge of support for Sinn Fein/ IRA, yet secretly we now know Thatcher negotiated on the Hunger Strike as her handwriting is on a document sent to the prisoners. Civil servant Dr Maurice Hayes comments. Relationships between Britain and Ireland worsened during the Falklands war. Thatcher was angry at the Irish support for Security Council resolution 502, the Irish UN Ambassador comments on the situation, then Martin Mansergh views on Haughey's actions during Falkland's Lord Butler recalls a conversation he had with Thatcher about their Irish roots, with Thatcher admitting her great great granny Sullivan was Irish.

Lillis recalls building links using security as his opening line. Douglas Hurd recalls Thatcher's untrusting of G. Fitzgerald. October 12th 1984 PIRA bomb Tory conference, N. Tebbit recalls then D. Hurd film of Thatcher's speech then Sinn Fein G. Adam's call it legitimate action. 1 month later Thatcher rejects New Ireland forum recommendations, film clip shown with D. Hurd's views G. Fitzgerald looked to USA for help. Sean Dolan briefed Tip O'Neill who talked to Reagan who put pressure on Thatcher. D. Hurd says Thatcher more willing to talk as the army view was the IRA couldn't be totally defeated. In November 1985 Thatcher goes to Hillsborough Castle in NI, she faced opposition from Tory MP Ian Gow, Lord Powell comments then Labours Dick Spring, unionists called Thatcher a traitor, Paisley's 'never ... never' speech shown, then UUP's Ken Magennis reaction, Thatcher never again held another Irish summit. Ken Magennis says unionists let her down more than Fitzgerald. As troubles escalated Thatcher's government was ready to use lethal force also, at Loughgall 8 PIRA volunteers and 1 innocent man shot dead attacking RUC station. Martin Mansergh says AIA gave a freer hand to British security forces, in August 1988 PIRA kill 8 soldiers at Ballygawley, Ken Magennis told her the names of those he thought did it and later they were killed in an SAS operation. In the late 1980s Dick Spring says attempts began again to make political progress, Douglas Hurd says he began communicating secretly with republicans in 1987 through back channels, but Gerry Adams says he has no knowledge of that happening, he says republicans first contact with the British was through M. McGuinness in October 1990. Thatcher's time in power was running out, the economy was going wrong and Europe finally sunk her during Michael Heseltine challenge. Lord Butler recalls Thatcher realising she was beat, then Sean Dolan's recollection of Haughey saying 'she's gone'. Film clip of Thatcher comments and programme sums up her legacy. She never fully understood Ireland says Sean Dolan, then Sinn Fein's Gerry Adams views. | ||

Michael Collins, Last Day | ||
Description: |
John Creedon retraces Michael Collins last journey of his life on August 1922 he travelled into West Cork and on August 22nd 1922 he was shot dead in a skirmish with anti-treaty IRA, as the country entered a civil war. Creedon asks the question was Collins tour of West Cork necessary, and what does M. Collins last days tell us about the man about his life, the myth and most of all about his death. John Creedon begins with an update on the civil war in August 1922. Cork City had been retaken from the anti-treaty IRA, Collins spent his last night in the military HQ The Imperial Hotel, Creedon goes to meet historian G. O'Doherty from UUC to find out why Collins came to Cork to inspect the Garrison and to collect money. The Harbour Commissioners book for 1922 shows the anti-treaty funds he was there to take control of, as a Minister of Finance in the War of Independence he knew funds were of utmost importance to win his war. The day after he seized the monies from various banks in Cork that had belonged to anti-treaty forces was Tuesday 22nd August 1922 Collins began his tour of inspection, his companion was Major General Emmet Dalton, there were 4 vehicles in the convoy that morning, up front motorcycle outriders led by Lt. Smith, behind that a troop carrier with 12 men then a touring car with Collins and Dalton in the back and behind that an armoured car, a re-enactment of the Collins convoy is created and filmed leaving the Imperial Hotel, a 1978 TV interview with Emmet Dalton shows him talking about his worries about the convoys inadequacies on that day of which he told Collins. The convoy first stop was Macroom, Creedon talks to local historian Michael Galvin about why Collins stopped there, and his meeting there with IRA supporter Florrie O'Donohue who was neutral during the civil war, it speculated Collins wanted to use him to contact the anti-treaty leader Liam Lynch to find a way to end civil war. Both men discuss this speculation John Creedon comments on the rumours and speculation that surrounded the Collins visit. The convoy headed toward Bandon, an anti-treaty stronghold, Creedon and Galvin explain an incident that happened when the armoured car got bogged down in the road that let Collins know he wasn't in friendly territory. The convoy then headed to Baille Na Blaith, which he passed through twice that day a fatal error as they stopped at Longs bar, to ask directions and it was an anti-treaty safe house. Creedon talks to Gabriel O'Doherty to find out why the convoy took that route that day, simply because many of the roads were blocked he says, they then discuss the anti-treaty volunteers who were in Long's pub when Collins stopped outside. Dennis Long the pub owner then informed senior anti-treaty volunteers in a nearby farm house about Collins visit, where a meeting was held about what to do, Creedon discusses their options, as Collins drove up to Bandon 20 to 25 anti-treaty volunteers set a landmine and waited at Baille Na Biath for Collins return journey. After meeting his officers in the Bantry Devonshire Hotel, Collins headed to Clonakilty his home town where a tree blocked his road, in the town he had lunch with a cousin and met former school friends in O'Donovan's Hotel, by mid-afternoon the convoy got to Skibeereen, here Creedon talks to Maria Young who produced M. Collin's the Musical she gives her view of Collins the man, and what he done in Skibeereenn that afternoon, he me Bantry officers in the town, photos of him leaving Eldon Hotel is shown as is his final journal entry, written on 21/08/1992 in which he says ' the people are splendid'. Creedon visits the Collins family homestead which had been burnt down by the British army during the war of independence, then he visits a nearby bar which had been owned by Collins cousin at Sands crossroads here he meets Collins grandniece Helen who says Collins heart was broken by the civil war. Then author M. Ryan comments on the anti-treaty ambush team waiting to kill Collins. Then last known photo of Collins shown taken outside the Munster Arms Hotel. It was 7:30pm when the convoy left Bandon, then at Baille Na Biath ambush site. John Creedon reflects on the sadness of that event Tom Hales has stood down most of the ambush squad thinking that Collins wasn't returning that way, only 6 or 7 irregulars remained at the site at 8pm as Collins arrived. A film re-enactment shows the events that followed with John Creedon's commentary, also shown is a tv interview with Emmet Dalton made in 1979 when he revisited Baille Na Blaith, Dalton recalls finding Collins shot with a wound in his head, he knew he was already dead. John Creedon then meets Tim Crawley from the Michael Collins Centre to find out what happened next as Collins convoy sped from the scene, and how they had to leave the road and cross the fields and the trouble they had in the muddy conditions using coats to put under the wheels Collins was still in the touring car with Dalton, at one point they had to carry Collins remains up through the fields. Only two vehicles got through the fields, then the soldiers forced a local man to guide them back to the Cork Road, where they took M. Collins body to the Cork hospital, the next day a ferry called The Classic took the body to Dublin. Emmet Dalton 1979 recalls that journey, UCC historian gives more details of that journey and the crowds that gathered and why roads weren't used, and the mood in Ireland at that time. Then more Dalton recollections of the British Navy saluting Collins as the ferry passed and candles in peoples windows. In Dublin Collins Funeral followed two days after A Griffith's, old film clips shown, it was biggest funeral in Ireland since that of Charles Stewart Parnell. John Creedon comments. | ||

Michael Dwyer | ||
Description: |
This Programme examines why the British built the Great Military Road in Wicklow over 200 years ago, their aim to capture the 1798 rebels hiding out in the hills in West Wicklow led by Michael Dwyer, who has been credited with inventing guerrilla warfare and was on the run for 5 years in the hills and ended up in Sydney Australia where he crossed with Capt. Bligh of the Mutiny on the Bounty fame. The programme presenter D. O'Shea asks three questions who was Michael Dwyer, why did the British spend 9 years building a road in his own backyard to get him, and why has Irish history forgotten him. At the beginning of the Military Road at Rathfarnham O'Shea meets Planxty founding member Andy Irvine who has written a song about Michael Dwyer, which he sings, then he explains why he was drawn historically to Dwyer and they discuss the relevance of songs in preserving historical events, then as he walks along the 60 mile long road he talks to 1798 historian Dr Ronan O' Donald who profiles the rebel control in Wicklow during the rebellion and after it, when the lightly armed rebels struck across the county, there were up to 20,000 rebels within miles of Dublin and the British couldn't move canon over the mountainous terrain, and Britain at this time was afraid of an invasion by France, British General Cornwallis who surrendered to Washington in the USA in 1781 was by 1798 Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and he put down the 1798 rebellion. Ronan O' Donald explains the difficulties Cornwallis has in Ireland especially in Wicklow, where Dwyer invented guerrilla warfare he remained a threat until he was negotiated out of the mountains 5 years later. R. O'Donald feels Dwyer isn't remembered like Tone and Emmett because he didn't die in Ireland and there's no memorial to him here. Dwyer was born in West Wicklow in the Glen of Imaal and O'Shea visits Dunlavin to find out more info at the beginning of the 1798 Revolt, the British arrested and executed 36 United Irishmen in the town, local historian Chris Lawlor explains what happened, no trial, no judge, John Dwyer a relative of Michael's was one of the executed, the massacre made him join the rebellion, the historian explains the control his rebels had outside the towns in Wicklow and how famous he was in his own lifetime. O'Shea then visits the modern day Irish army barracks on the Glen of Imaal to talk to Sgt Gary O'Brien about the tactics Dwyer would have needed to survive in the mountains back in 1798, including shelter building, fires, purifying water and avoiding soldier's search parties. Then back in Dublin O'Shea talks to Michael Furer an Architect and Historian at the Massey Estate who shows O'Shea part of the Military Road as it was in 1798 uncovered by tarmac and explains how it was constructed, by Scottish surveyor called Alex Taylor it took 9 years to build because of delays over finances, at the Sally Gap, in bog land they examine how Georgian architects constructed a bridge still in use today, along the 60 kms route the British built 4 barracks one of which at Glencree still is standing, they discuss and view it, a foot print of British Imperialism holding 100 soldiers the barracks later became Irelands first reform school for boys between 1850s and 1930s. Since 1970s it's been the Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation helping NI peace process and other conflicts further afield. Near the barracks is a unique resting place local historian Frank Tracy explains why 135 German servicemen are buried there from WW1 and WW2. Another World War story connected to the road and Glencree barracks is that German orphans were sent there after WW1 and WW2. Lil Colberg now O'Gorman was one of those orphans, she tells her story with photos, of Operation Shamrock, Hundreds of German children were fostered by Irish families their first 3 weeks was in Glencree barracks. Lil's family history is profiled with photos. Next narrator O'Shea examines the role of the Anglo-Irish along the Military Road, historian Chris Corbett explains the history of an ancient house built by Peter Letoush a banker in 1788 he explains his influence on general Cornwallis the house was later owned by the Powerscourt's and now by the Guinness Family. Over at a graveyard at Glendalough, also on the Military Road, Chris shows a headstone carved by Dennis Cullen from Wexford, showing the military men of 18th Century as the baddies, the British army. Also there they climb a cliff face at St. Kevin's bed, it was one of Michael Dwyer's hiding places, a story of how the escaped Scottish soldiers here is told by Chris. Then with Ronan O'Donald they visit the West Wicklow Dwyer/McAllister cottage where in February 1799 Dwyer made a miraculous escape from Scottish Highlanders, R. O'Donald explains what happened during the shoot-out where 3 of Dwyer's men were killed. Others taken prisoner were executed. Then at Glenmalure at the end of the Military Road R. O'Donald explains how the road and the barracks had curtained Dwyer's options, overtures had been made to him to give himself up and he wouldn't be executed but could go to Australia a freeman with his family. He surrendered on these terms. O'Shea then visits the Rocks area of Sydney where Dwyer arrived in 1806 with his wife they had been forced to leave their 4 children behind then they were 100 acres of land, historian Dr Anne Marie Whittaker explains the rumours in Australia that Dwyer was going to lead an Irish rebellion in the Colony, he was then arrested on orders of Capt. Bligh, charged and found not guilty this time he was held in custody for two years until Capt. Bligh was overthrown and Dwyer returned to Sydney, where he became the Constable for the Georges River and 12 years later became Chief Constable he also owned a pub called the Harrow Inn, his undoing was alcohol says the historian he was dismissed as Chief Constable ending up in debtors prison, he died aged 53 of dysentery, his children didn't get to Australia until 3 years after he died. There is a monument to him in Waverly Cemetery in Sydney built in 1898, he's buried there now. O'Shea then meets his relatives today in Australia to hear their story. | ||

Mark Carruthers asks the question 'Is the Loyalist protest camp at Twadell in danger of becoming 'Drumcree Mark 2'?' and he questions his panel about the Maze/Long Kesh project after Martin McGuinness's comment that there will be no further development without the Maze/Long Kesh Peace Centre. A film clip of Martin McGuinness's comments at Stormont is shown. Then the panel of Peter Sheridan (Chief Executive of Cooperation Ireland and former Assistant Chief Constable of the RUC), Sinn Fein's Gerry Kelly and the DUP's Nigel Dodds debate and argue about the DUP's withdrawal from their previous commitment to the Maze/Long Kesh Peace Centre, with Peter Sheridan taking the middle ground approach. He recalls how the architect Daniel Libskind persuaded him to support the project and not see it as a 'shrine' to terrorism. He feels that more persuading of political doubters is needed. Nigel Dodds (DUP) says that confidence in the centre has been undermined by events, particularly this year where the consensus is that the centre would be a centre for division. He highlights victims' anger at Sinn Fein 'glorifying' murder with IRA commemorations. Then Sinn Fein's Gerry Kelly says that Unionists only talk about respect for their community, not Republicans. He said that there was consensus and that the DUP showed lack of leadership by withdrawing support. Gerry Kelly's appearance at the Castlederg IRA Volunteers Day event is mentioned and he challenges Mark Carruthers to recall what he said in his speech. Gerry Kelly and Nigel Dodds have a heated debate about the two IRA Volunteers commemorated at Castlederg, and whether it was justified or not. Peter Sheridan then takes the politics out of the argument and talks about the economics and the jobs blow of not developing the site. He talks about a shared future and how he is still optimistic about that. Next Mark Carruthers introduces a film clip from Gareth Gordon about the Loyalist protest camp at Twaddell Avenue, where every night is the 12th of July. Orangeman John Aughey explains their point of view on the Parades Commission's about their parade. Then the views of another Orangeman called Brian, then another Loyalist called Bill Hill says that 'Catholics get all that they want. Then Ardoyne resident Joe Marley (CARA) gives the Nationalist viewpoint. Then Gareth Gordon comments on the nightly parades, highlighting the presence of masked youths. Then Fr Gary Donegan comments on keeping Nationalist youths away from the area, and the waste of resources involved in this. At Camp Twaddell John Aughey talks about 'upping the ante'. Back in the studio the DUP's Nigel Dodds defends the nightly peaceful protest and says that the Parades Commission has rewarded Republican violence in that area. He minimises the issue of people wearing masks and calls for dialogue. Sinn Fein's Gerry Kelly says that the Loyalist offer of talks had preconditions, and that they would only talk to residents once they had got their own way first. He wants talks on next year's parade and refers to people 'masking up'. He accuses Loyalists of heightening interface tensions by having their camp on the interface. Both argue about what areas are 'shared space'. Then Peter Sheridan is asked 'are you still optimistic after hearing all that?'. Then resident professors Deirdre Heenan and Rick Wilford give their views on the discussion topics, firstly the Maze/Long Kesh project and the effect on local politics of the DUP withdrawal of support. Both professors support the idea of a peace centre and explain why. They are also asked what damage has been done to Sinn Fein's Gerry Adams after the revelations at his brother Liam's trial about when he knew about the abuse. The programme ends with a comedy sketch from Tim McGarry about local politics. (Thursday) | ||

The life of Castlereagh | ||
Description: |
This documentary tells the story of Lord Castlereagh, the Irish-born British Foreign Secretary who was responsible for the 1801 Act of Union, the aftermath of the 1798 rebellion and organising the efforts in Europe to defeat Napoleon Bonaparte, yet on the 10th August 1822 he committed suicide aged 53 years of age. He cut his own throat, a tragic end for this Irishman who had more power than any Irishman before or since. He was the dominant politician in regency Britain. Dr John Bew narrates his life story. Despite his respect in Britain and in Europe in Ireland he was regarded as the enemy of liberty & freedom and was despised. Was he a reactionary tyrant or was he a misunderstood visionary? Britain's greatest ever Foreign Secretary or Ireland's greatest traitor? And what drove him to cut his own throat in 1822? He was born in Dublin in 1769 but grew up in Mount Stewart Estate in Co Down. It was bought by his grandfather who was a Presbyterian Minister from Scotland. His father Robert was the first Marquis of Londonderry. Castlereagh attended the Royal School in Armagh. John Bew reads some of the letters that he wrote home at this time. Later he went to Cambridge University. In 1789 the French Revolution occurred which would change his life as radical ideas such as 'all men are created equal' spread across Europe. John Bew explains. Thomas Paine's book 'The Rights of Man' was a best seller in Ireland. Letters for and against the French ideals are shown. In Ireland Castlereagh stood for election to the Irish parliament. He aligned himself to supporters of the French revolution. This struck a chord with the Presbyterian electorate in Co Down and he was elected in 1790. Within a few years his promise to be 'a man of the people' would come back to haunt him as the revolution in France turned sour. Castlereagh went to France in 1791 & 1792 and was shocked at the fear in the country and the ruthlessness of the revolution. John Bew explains his journey from liberalism to conversatism and what changed him. He discusses what he witnessed with Professor Allan Potofsky of the University of Paris. As the revolution spiralled out of controlled and the King was executed Castlereagh wanted the vision of change without the nightmare. In 1791 in Ireland the United Irishmen group was formed offering equal rights to Catholics and Protestants. Castlereagh believed in many of their ideals but when he heard that they wanted France to invade Ireland he called that treachery. He chose stability over chaos. At 27 he became Chief Secretary of Ireland, now working for the government he had criticised. He began locking up suspected rebels. In 1796 at Christmas he was in Cork with the army to face a suspected French invasion but bad weather scattered the French fleet. In 1798 when the rebellion happened over 30,000 people died in just 3 months and there were more rebels in Co Down than in any other county. Castlereagh's army was vengeful and out of control. John Bew explains what occurred at Dublin Castle. Castlereagh's letters reveal his horror at his army's actions but he believed that unforgiving action was needed to save the country. He pursued this course without fear or favour, as evidenced by his execution of of Reverend J Porter, a father of 7. John Bew explains the story and the effect that it had on Catlereagh's reputation. He next decided to abolish the Irish Parliament and create the union of Britain & Ireland with a Parliament in London. He and British Prime Minister William Pitt believed that this would bring peace to Ireland and was the opposite of colonising Ireland. He proposed to allow Catholics to become MP's. John Bew explains the difficulties he faced that he dealt with through bribery and debate. On 17th June 1800 the Bill of Union was passed in the Irish House of Commons. Ireland as a nation was extinguished said anti-union MPs. In January 1801 the bill became law. Dr Patrick Geoghan of Trinity College Dublin explains the long-term consequences for Ireland and where he was seen to betray his country for personal advancement. A new flag, the union flag, was created incorporating the cross of St Patrick. In his private life Castlereagh had married the heiress Emily Hoburth 7 years previously. They lived a high society life in London but King George III was enraged when he heard that Castlereagh and Pitt were in favour of Catholic emancipation. John Bew details the King's opposition. Catlereagh and Pitt had to resign. Catholic emancipation never happened and Castlereagh got the blame for those in Ireland who backed the union because of it. Castlereagh suffered depression aged 38. In 1807 Castlereagh returned to the Cabinet as Secretary of State for War. Napoleon had defeated all before him in Europe. Then in 1809 Castlereagh assisted Spain and Portugal in opposing Napoleon fighting a guerrilla war called the 'Peninsular war'. Castlereagh went against King George III's wishes and trusted the British campaign to his old friend Sir Arthur Wellesley. His Spanish victories earned him the title of Duke of Wellington. In September 1809 Castlereagh discovered a plot to remove him from government. His enemy was the Foreign Secretary George Canning. John Bew explains what happened and the events that ended in a duel. Castlereagh's letters to his father on the duel are read out. Castlereagh then turned his back on politics and became a sheep farmer in Kent. This isolation lasted for two years then in September 1812 he returned to government as Foreign Secretary. He would hold this job for 10 years. The first test that he would face was the war with Napoleon. In Spain Wellington was slowly getting the upper hand but then in June 1812 Napoleon invaded Russia, which was his big mistake. He was in retreat. In December 1813 Castlereagh went to Europe to create a grand alliance to defeat Napoleon. John Bew explains his travels and efforts in the diplomatic game which were eventually successful with Napoleon defeated and exiled. The allies in March 1814 entered Paris including Castlereagh. Six months later his greatest moment was the Congress of Vienna when the map of Europe was redrawn amidst pomp and partying. A new Congress system was designed so that countries could negotiate their problems rather than go to war. It was a pioneering approach. Then news of Napoleon's escape at Waterloo where he faced Wellington & Bloucher. Historian Liam Hartley gives the details on the battle of Waterloo, which involved 300,000 troops involved in a vicious battle that saw 13,000 killed. Its historical significance is explained. Castlereagh was applauded upon his return to Westminster. His father urged him to retire. Lord Liverpool as Prime Minister was in the House of Lords. Castlereagh was de facto Prime Minister in Westminster but he was a terrible public speaker. Even poet Lord Byron had a go at his public speaking abilities. John Bew explains and visits his home where the historian Tristram Hunt MP discusses troubles in England with the agricultural revolution pushing people in Ireland, the industrial revolution and demand for political reform. The 1819 massacre of people at Peterloo, of which Castlereagh was the public face, damaged his reputation. The poet Shelley depicted Castlereagh as an Irish 'Grim Reaper', throwing hearts to dogs. In April 1821 Castlereagh was grief stricken at the death of his father. Later that year it seemed that he was destined to succeed Lord Liverpool as Prime Minister, but Liverpool didn't resign. By the end of July paranoia and incoherence made his friends think that he was losing his mind. He even told the King that he was losing his mind and having a mental breakdown brought on by grief and stress. 3 days after visiting the King he killed himself. John Bew summarises his importance in British history, but even his funeral was hissed and booed and poets lambasted him after death. He reached the top but remained an outsider in both Ireland and Britain. (Sunday) | ||

Description: |
Mark Carruthers asks will two murders and ten bomb attacks over two days damage the international investment conference taking place at Hillsborough Castle. He begins by interviewing the Northern Ireland Secretary of State, Theresa Villiers, who condemns the two murders and says Northern Ireland still faces significant problems but the conference has an upbeat message to deliver that progress has been made and that Northern Ireland is a great place to live and to invest in. On the murders, she appealed for information to be given to the PSNI. She also mentioned the UVF wounding of a woman in East Belfast. Mark Carruthers then asks Theresa Villiers whether the Treasury will grant the Chief Constable the money needed to keep policing numbers at the 7000 figure. She says she's talking about this issue with the Chief Constable but more Treasury funds are not guaranteed as this is primarily an Executive matter. She said we are all operating on a constrained budget. She then goes on to say what she expects from this investment conference and she says that previous investors will explain why they have returned to reinvest here. Then Mark Carruthers asked her for her reaction to a recent OECD report which says that there is a problem here with young people's literacy & numeracy skills. She says that the Northern Ireland education system has produced fantastic results and all systems have weaknesses. She then gives her view on how she will judge if the conference has been a success or not, and is asked about the apparent united front of Martin McGuinness and Peter Robinson, which she praises, despite their difficulties. Then in the studio Mark Carruthers talks to Sinn Fein's Pat Sheehan, the SDLP's Alban Magennis and the DUP's Jeffrey Donaldson. He begins by asking Pat Sheehan does the two murders show that the vice-like grip that Sinn Fein once had on republicanism no longer exists? Sheehan rejects the 'vice like grip' remark, stating that dissident republicans are attempting to undermine the conference, but that they have very little support. He's questioned about how they can operate in republican heartlands. He replies that political leaders need to be seen to be cooperating. Alban Magennis says that a combination of bad politics, like the Maze/Long Kesh issue and Castlederg has created an atmosphere where dissident republicans and dissident loyalists can exercise influence in the community. He says we need to get back to the principles of partnership. He salutes tonight's McGuinness/Robinson performance. The DUP's Jeffrey Donaldson is asked whether the police are over-stretched as the Chief Constable says. He condemns the murder and the attempted murder in East Belfast. He agrees that we need to stand together. He says that organised crime is at the centre of dissident activity. He says that the SDLP should have supported the establishment of an Organised Crime Agency here. Mark Carruthers then asked him about the DUP supporting the Twaddell camp and wasting public funds that the PSNI need. Donaldson replies that the Twaddell Camp is peaceful and is no threat to the PSNI, and can't be compared to the dissident republican threat. Jeffrey Donaldson is pushed on the issue. Alban Magennis calls for Camp Twaddell protesters to suspend the protest and for them to enter their cause in the Haas talks. On the investment conference all three give their opinions on the conference's chances of success. Next story profiled by Mark Carruthers is around Sinn Fein's Gerry Adams' knowledge of when his brother Liam confessed to him that he had abused his daughter Ãine, and the decision of the PPS to re-open that inquiry. Where does all that leave the Sinn Fein leader now? A film report from Stephen Walker in Dublin and Dundalk investigates what people think now. Gerry Adams says opponents are trying to politicise a family tragedy. On Dundalk's streets support for Gerry Adams remains strong., as a vox pop shows. Then John Mulligan, editor of the Argus, shares his views. Then Gerry Adams says he has done nothing wrong and has done the right thing, but Labour Senator Mary Moran says that she has more questions that need answered. Fianna Fáil TD Brendan Smith agrees with her. Adams says that these attacks are politically motivated. Then Irish Independent's Michael Brennan draws parallels with the scandals around the Catholic Church. Then former IRA prisoner Gerard Hodgins said that Adams was protected when other child abusers were shot. Then the commentators Deirdre Heenan and Rick Wilford give their opinions on tonight's topics. The programme ends with a comic look at Stormont security by Tim McGarry. (Thurs) | ||

Description: |
Introduced by Declan Lawn, this programme looks back at 40 years of Spotlight programmes and it's significant investigations. It begins with a vox pop of well-known journalists who have worked on Spotlight over the years who comment on the programme's credibility, and how the job they had was to ask questions. Then film clips on the programme on Iris Robinson, her business dealings and her affair with Kirk McCambley (19) three years ago, then the clip about the Red Sky affair, where whistleblower Jenny Palmer's role in exposing the DUP's links to Housing Executive contractors, with reactions from the DUP's Gregory Campbell and People Before Profit's Eamonn McCann. The role of C Brimstone, a DUP Special Adviser, is profiled with the Newsletter's Sam McBride's reaction. D Lawn said that asking questions today is the same philosophy as it was 40 years ago. He revisits the very first Spotlight in October 1973. Danny Morrison, then interned in Long Kesh, recalls watching black & white TV That month in Northern Ireland there were 300 shootings and 20 bomb attacks but Spotlight examined issues like local government, traffic congestion and the role of lollipop men. Gloria Hunniford was the first journalist to look at the issue of domestic violence. Clips shown. Damien Gorman recalls his reaction. By the mid-1970s hundreds were dead. Spotlight covered the grief of bereaved loved ones many times. Jean Duggan's husband Ernie was killed by a PIRA bomb. Her interview is shown, along with a clip of the Donegall Street bomb scene. Spotlight also did celebrity profiles and interviews, like the 1979 documentary on George Best. Clips shown, but its new journalist Jeremy Paxman focuses on more serious issues.

One of his early efforts related to the formation of the INLA, clips shown, the government wanted Paxman not to run the programme. Then Roisin McAuley recalls joining Spotlight, as did Gavin Esler who joined in the late 1970s. It now moved away from arts & entertainment into more controversial topics.

Description: |
Steven Nolan introduces tonight's topic: The Shankill bomb 20 years on. Another day for grief and remembering and anger. He asks the question 'can we ever move on from the troubles without leaving victims behind?'. He began by reviewing the details of the PIRA bomb attack, and the plaque erected in Ardoyne to the dead bomber Thomas Begley, and the rejection by the victims' relatives of the apology by the surviving bomber Sean Kelly. Then a film report with old film scenes of the aftermath, and interviews with relatives of the victims. Firstly Alan McBride recalls his wife Sharon, then Gina Murray on her daughter Leanne (13), then John Scott on Wilma. They all recall the scene after the bomb went off, searching for relatives and then visiting the morgue for details. All the victims talk about coping with their loss and not talking about their loss. John Scott rejects Sean Kelly's apology, saying that they are murderers and child killers. Gina Murray and Charlie Butler also reject the apology and the erection of a plaque for Thomas Begley in Ardoyne. In the studio Steven Nolan invites a survivor of the bombing, Gareth Hawkins, to describe what happened to him on that day, His injuries and what he remembers. When he woke up in the Mater Graham Harrison was in the Mater beside him and also in the ward was Sean Kelly, the injured bomber. Steven Nolan questions him about this revelation but he says that at the time he didn't realise who he was. Gareth goes on to describe his mental problems since then, including PTSD. He is still taking glass out of his body even now. He gives his opinion on republicans unveiling a plaque to Thomas Begley. Then Alan McBride is asked if it is possible to move on. He outlines the choices he faced after losing his wife. The violence had to stop. Society couldn't go on like that. He had hoped we'd have moved further in 20 years. He comments on unionist politicians rightly condemning the Thomas Begley memorial plaque but points out that they don't condemn the UVF memorial to Brian Robinson on the Shankill each year. He recalls how he used to chase Gerry Adams around for two years. How outlines his thinking now in the society that he grew up in. A question from the audience asks whether we should all try to put ourselves in victims' shoes for a while. Nolan then recalls the violence of the week that followed the Shankill bomb in a film report, with John Major's comments, the west Belfast depot killing of M Rodgers and J Cameron by the UFF and the Greysteel bar killing of 8 people by the UFF, with film clip of an emotional John Hume. The former Victims Commissioner Patricia McBride, from a republican background, is asked about her views on the definition of a victim. Victimhood should be shared. Nolan criticises the Thomas Begley plaque and asks was it sensitive in light of that for Martin McGuinness to tweet his regrets? He questions whether the Shankill bombers were victims too. Alan McBride says Sunday's Sinn Fein event glorified violence. He said Thomas Begley was not a soldier, and that he murdered women and children. Patricia McBride says that showing compassion does not mean that we condone their actions. A phone call from John in Belfast saying that Thomas Begley was not a suicide bomber, that he went out to kill UDA leaders who were planning on killing other people. Nolan accuses John of re-writing history. They argue the point, then Gary Murray, who's sister Leanne was killed, says that the PIRA were there to do mass murder, and that they knew what they were doing. He tells Leanne's story, and what he feels now all these years later. He wants a better Northern Ireland. He's asked for his opinion on remembering the dead, but rejects Thomas Begley's glorification, saying that it feels like they are walking on his sister's grave. Steven Nolan then shows a film clip of Sean Kelly's speech at the Begley event, includes his apology. Gary Murray rejects the apology. Then from Derry Eamonn McCann gives his view on someone saying that Thomas Begley was a Soldier of Ireland. He rejects the idea that everyone should be able to commemorate those that they think are their 'soldiers' but highlights the fact that the Shankill bombers were operating on these very ideas. Then the DUP's Nigel Dodds that said back at that time there were killing going on on all sides, including loyalists, but adds that 60% of all deaths were due to republicans. He praises the respectful, dignified Shankill memorial today, saying that that is the way that memorials should be done. He says that the Begley event glorified a terrorist, cheered on by Sinn Fein's Gerry Kelly. Nigel Dodds is asked about the UVF's Brian Robinson parade. He says that all murder is wrong and that there should be no glorification and that the Robinson band should not be parading on the 12th July. He wants the definition of a victim changed, justice for victims and no amnesty. Nolan reads tweets sent in tonight, then an audience lady offers sympathy to the victims and rejects Begley's plaque. Then writer Jude Collins says that the Begley plaque is just what opposing forces do. They believe that their forces are worth remembering. Nolan asks the question whether we will ever be able to work out a definition of a victim that both communities can work with together. Jude Collins hopes the Haas talks can move us in that direction. Discussion ends. (Wed) | ||

Description: |
Mark Carruthers begins by interviewing former RUC Special Branch chief Raymond White about the allegations by the Pat Finucane Centre's Ann Cadwalladr in her new book 'Lethal Allies' that the RUC colluded with the Glenanne Gang, which comprised loyalist paramilitaries, along with RUC and UDR members to kill 120 nationalists in the south Armagh area. Ray White rejects the allegation of collusion on this scale, saying it was involved in only a small number of cases and involved only a small number of individual RUC and UDR members, as opposed to direct security force involvement. Ray White rejects that there was any allegation of orchestrated collusion despite Ann Cadwalladr's use of HET report comments. He says HET reports are based on information held in PSNI archives and that the RUC hierarchy in the 1970s did arrest and prosecute members in the Glenanne Gang that they knew of. Such as Weir, McCaffrey and Armstrong and the UDR member prosecuted for the Miami Showband killings, but again he doesn't deny that there was security force involvement in a number of killings in the 'murder triangle' carried out by the UVF. On the Step Inn bombing in August 1976 which killed two people the book states that the RUC knew about the bomb and also the site used to make it at Jim Mitchell's farm, but Ray White says that he doesn't know about that particular case. He says that this if this true then it needs to be investigated. Then the SDLP's Seamus Mallon allegation that the Step Inn bombers were protected by the RUC/Special branch is put to Ray White who replies that he is not aware of any murderers being protected. He agrees that we need a mechanism for dealing with the past as allegations are easy to make. In the studio Alex Maskey of Sinn Fein and Danny Kennedy of the UUP debate Ray White's comments. Alex Maskey alleges that Special Branch collusion was systemic and is speaking as a victim of collusion and he outlines the role of FRU/UDA agent Brian Nelson in the attempted murder of himself. He also quotes Roseanne Mallon's murder in Co Tyrone. Then Danny Kennedy says that the book is part of an on-going republican narrative to force the view that republicans were forced to resort to violence as things were so bad here. He rejects the idea that collusion was systemic, says that the bad was wrong and he praises Raymond White. Alex Maskey revisits the point that the HET & Da Silva reports, Stevens 1,2 & 3 were not republican conspiracies and they all found collusion. Danny Kennedy asked Alex Maskey was he in the IRA, or did he not know it existed like Gerry Adams? Then Seamus Mallon's allegations are rejected by Danny Kennedy. Alex Maskey asks Danny Kennedy that if he had've died of his gunshot wounds would he be an innocent victim or not? Danny Kennedy does not give a direct answer but asks Maskey if he was an active republican. Next report covers Mark Carruthers talking to commentators Alex Kane and Paul McFadden about Ann Cadwallader's book, the Raymond White interview and the Maskey/Kennedy clash and their competing narratives. The programme ends with a comic routine from Tim McGarry at Stormont. (Thurs) | ||

Headlines then last week and this week have been weeks of commemorations of troubles atrocities and we've seen a sense that a formal process of truth and reconciliation is what's needed. In a film report Tracey Magee talks to US Envoy Richard Haas, who is back in Northern Ireland to resume his efforts to find solutions to Northern Ireland's problems with flags, parading and dealing with the past. In his comments however he would not be drawn on where this process is heading at present. He says he is still in the phase of listening and learning. Tracey Magee then reviews the distress shown by victims' relatives at last week's commemorations and also the revelations of collusion in south Armagh in the 1970s. Haas says it is a complex set of issues. He has received over 100 written submissions wanting progress. Back in the studio Paul Clark is joined by journalist Brian Rowan, loyalist ex-prisoner John Howcroft, QUB Professor John Brewer, former soldier Glen Bradley and Mark Thompson from Relatives for Justice for a discussion. Firstly they view a film report and a reminder of some of the shocking killings from the troubles like Teebane (1992, 8 killed), Loughinisland (114, 6 killed), Kingsmills (1976, 10 killed), Darkley (1983, 3 killed), Miami Showband killings (1975, 3 killed), Pat Finucane killed (1987), Claudy (1972, 9 killed), Loughgall (1987, 9 killed), Billy Wright killed (1987), then clip of Gerry Kelly on shot warder in 1983 Maze prison escape. Then Paul Clark asks Brian Rowan if the problem is that we get some of the answers but not all of them? He agrees, but believes that none of the combatants will reveal the absolute truth. Howcroft states that he believes that there are many truths out there. He explains what he means by starting with the idea of a blank canvas. Then Glen Bradley explains his contacts with leading republican Sean Murray, how they met and he describes his own personal reconciliation path. He says that in Northern Ireland the enemy of truth is the decades of myth and propaganda. Then Mark Thompson says that all victims want the same thing, the truth, and truth recovery is an international approach. . A formula for obtaining the truth from all combatants must be found. Then John Brewer, who has studied truth commissions all across the world, says that he doesn't think that it will work. He explains his remarks. He says that victims' recovery won't be found in truth. Mark Thompson disagrees with him. They debate the importance of the concept of truth, and forensic truths. John Howcroft talks about how he would handle telling the truth, would he accept what he had done? Glen Bradley on his view that there is no one person at fault. He says he can see soldiers telling the truth. Brian Rowan is asked about the absence of political will to tell the truth. He says that the prospect of prosecutions will be a barrier to obtaining the information. In Scotland 4 men and a woman have been arrested on dissident republican offences. Film report. In Derry a letter bomb has been found at the office of the Public Prosecution Service. It was defused by the army. Film report with SDLP's Mark Durkan's reaction, then the DUP's Gary Middleton.

Back in the studio Paul Clark talks to journalist David McKittrick, former No 10 Press Officer Alastair Campbell and the DUP's Gregory Campbell. He asks Gregory Campbell does he agree with John Dallat that the RUC file on Greysteel should be re-opened.

He says that there is evidence of collusion in several cases. Alastair Campbell comments on how the past can help focus attention on the here and now.

UVF: Abusing Peace | ||
Description: |
Stephen Dempster attempts to go behind the mask of the UVF almost 20 years after UVF leader Gusty Spence announced the loyalist ceasefires. The UVF has murdered 27 people since then and intimidated and terrorised its own community with criminality. The programme asks if the police are doing enough to combat the UVF. Whilst others allege that the UVF uses its given positions of responsibility to continue criminality like the Mafia. The programme begins with a reconstruction of the UVF shooting of Jemma McGrath (24) in east Belfast. She was hit eight times but survived. DUP councillor Gavin Robinson condemns the shooting. Journalist Brian Rowan comments on the intelligence behind the shooting. In east Belfast the UVF have recently been behind street disorder, attempts to kill PSNI officers and new UVF murals. An un-named internal UVF source, known as John, describes the UVF as 'out of control' and involved in drug-dealing and robbery. Brian Rowan describes it as a criminal organisation. The PSNI's Drew Harris describes it as a difficult organisation to operate against. Then Alex Bunting of FASA talks about the damage that drugs are doing to families, and of the dangers posed by drug dealers. Earlier this year a spate of drug deaths hit east Belfast. Two of these were linked to the UVF, including A McKenzie, a friend of J McGrath. Spotlight again looks at the reasons behind her shooting. Her family deny that it was drugs related but she was under threat. Film of loyalists commemorating the founding of the UVF in 1913 is shown. Loyalist Winston Irvine of the PUP comments, then the Reverend Chris Hudson says that the UVF is recruiting again and not disbanding, and this is confirmed by another whistleblower called Jim, who says that you are fined £50 if you do not turn up at UVF parades such as the Brian Robinson one on the Shankill every year. He says that it costs £3000 to buy yourself out. That last UVF killing was the 2010 killing of Red Hand Commando member Bobby Moffatt. At that time Cathy McIlvenny spoke of UVF intimidation. She says it has now got worse. She gives the example of exiles. Cathy's nephew Craig McCausland was murdered by the UVF on 11/7/05. She comments on the dangers that she might face. In east Belfast Alliance MLA Naomi Long, herself a victim of a UVF death threat, talks about the threats that she is aware of in the area. DUP councillor Gavin Robinson continues this theme. The role of UVF murals is highlighted in east Belfast, where one of George Best was recently painted over with UVF figures in Sydenham. Terry Hoey comments on the new mural and the area's decline, the Naomi Long on UVF control, the Raymond McCord, whose son was killed by the UVF in 1997, comments on cases of UVF intimidation that his victims group has dealt with, and Stephen Dempster says that families have told him that they do not trust the police to deal with their complaints against the UVF. The DUP's Gavin Robinson supports this view. Naomi Long talks about the perception people have when they see the police talking to 'community workers' who are members of the UVF. Assistant Chief Constable Drew Harris defends the police's actions. Whistleblower John says that paramilitaries have taken over community groups and are influencing politicians. Spotlight then highlights loyalist Winston 'Winkie' Irvine's public face at Orange protests etc, speaking as a PUP member, but Cathy McIlvenny says that he is OC (Officer Commanding) of the UVF in the Woodvale district, and came to her house as a UVF representative when Craig McCausland was shot in the leg in 2002. UVF whistleblower Jim says that he is UVF OC of the 'B' Company. He recalls a 2010 'B' Company meeting where Irvine said that the UVF was not disbanding. Last year Irvine was appointed to the north Belfast Policing Partnership. Cathy McIlvenny gives her objections, and the PSNI responds to her complaints. Drew Harris comments. Since his appointment Irvine has attended UVF parades and an Ulster Covenant event (film clips shown). He is with other UVF leaders Joe McGaw and Harry Stockman. Those three, along with 'Bunter' Graham in solicitors' letters deny being UVF members. A Spotlight photo from the early 1990s shows Irvine at the UVF Brian Robinson parade. Film clip shows Harry Stockman at UVF decommissioning in 2009, a 1970s photo shows Bunter Graham in a photo of UVF members including Shankill butcher Lenny Murphy. Another shows him with UVF internees in Long Kesh. Cathy McIlvenny says that there is no will to bring the UVF down. Journalist Jim McDowell says that the UVF is treated on a par with politicians. Increasingly the UVF have brought their politics onto the street. Film clips show loyalist flag protest violence. PSNI Chief Constable Matt Baggott says that the UVF endorsed the violence. Whistleblower Jim says that they were forced to attend flag protests. Raymond McCord comments, then Cathy McIlvenny then Naomi Long on the threat from the UVF in the future. | ||

The Disappeared | ||
Description: |
Darragh McIntyre reports on how people were killed and then secretly buried by the PIRA in the 1970s, becoming known as 'The Disappeared'. He also profiles the continuing trauma of the relatives of those who were taken, and investigates the role of republican leader Gerry Adams in the killing. The programme begins with the Jean McConville murder. A widow and mother of ten children, abducted and killed, then buried over the border by the PIRA. Film of her children in 1972, the photos of the other disappeared. Seamus Heaney's poem 'The Bog Queen' about the disappeared in read. Darragh McIntyre says that if there is a hierarchy of troubles victims then the disappeared are at the bottom. Killing them wasn't enough and he wants to know why. A film clip of a PIRA funeral in the 1970s with Gerry Adams in attendance is shown. He is in the colour party but in an interview he denies that as PIRA's Belfast Commander he was responsible for Jean McConville's murder. Darragh McIntyre then comments on population movements at the start of the troubles as families fled unsafe areas. The McConville's were one such family. Michael McConville recalls his childhood with ten children in one Divis Flats bedroom. He recalls being put out of Protestant east Belfast but in Divis they were also strangers. It was a war zone. Film clips of PIRA/British Army gun battles are shown. Michael recalls that he was only interested in pigeons. Michael's father died of cancer in early 1972. Later that year Jean McConville suffered a nervous breakdown. In Divis the war continued. They army ran discos in nearby army bases. Film clip shows girls dancing with soldiers, and two Catholic girls talk about the dangers. Photos of tarred and feathered girls shown. Jean McConville came to the attention of the PIRA because she helped a wounded British soldier. Michael McConville comments on this. Soon after, Jean McConville was called out of a local bingo hall and told that one of her kids had been injured and that a car would take her to the hospital. It was a trap. The PIRA took her away and questioned her. She was beaten but released. He daughter Agnes remembers her condition coming home. Later that day the PIRA came back for Jean. Michael recalls that it was teatime when people with mask, and some without masks, entered the home. The kids were all crying and screaming. Michael knew two of the females in the group. Jean was put into the back of a van and driven away. She was never seen again. Michael says that 5 days later a PIRA man came to the house and handed over Jean's purse and wedding ring. He said he knew nothing about Jean when Michael asked him. Later Michael was abducted by the IRA's youth wing, Na Fianna, and warned to say nothing. He describes his ordeal. Michael was aged 11. He recalls Christmas coming and going. The papers didn't run Jean's disappearance until after she was missing for over 6 weeks. Clips shown of TV camera filming the children in the flat. Agnes (as a child) describes the kidnapping (TV interview shown). Then Agnes as an adult recalls what Jean was wearing, which is the same as she said when she was a child. Republicans put out the story that Jean was in hiding. The lie worked (newspaper headlines shown) but on the streets the children were hearing a different story. Within months the family was split up into different welfare homes. Darragh McIntyre reads the social workers' notes on the children's plight. It says their mother was abducted and highlights the unhelpful attitude of locals, including the parish Priest. That same year, 1972, the PIRA abducted and killed three of its own members, Joe Lynskey, Seamus Wright and 17 year old Kevin McKee. Film clip of children stoning soldiers shown. Kevin McKee was in the PIRA's youth wing, na Fianna, in Ballymurphy, the home of Gerry Adams. Marie McKee recalls that he was just the same as all the other teenagers, throwing stones and rioting. Richard O'Rawe, author and former PIRA member, knew Kevin well. He recalls their friendship, and why they joined the PIRA. Soon after both Seamus Wright and Kevin were recruited by British Intelligence. The IRA found out and the two men confessed. Richard O'Rawe calls him a traitor. McKee and Wright tell the PIRA of an army undercover surveillance operation in a mobile laundry van called Four Square. The PIRA ambushed the van, killing a British soldier. Old film clip shown. Phil Smyth recalls the PIRA coming for her brother. She never saw him again. She recalls that the PIRA put out rumours that he was on the run. Then Marie McKee recalls her mother's anguish. The PIRA held the boys for four weeks. Then Marie got a phone call from Kevin saying that he was in Monaghan, which raised their hopes. They headed to Monaghan but couldn't find him in the house that he said he was at. It was the home of a 1950s IRA man Fearghal O'Hanlon. Now 40 years later they return to that house for answers. Fearghal O'Hanlon's sister lives there now. She meets Kevin's sisters but says she has no knowledge of Kevin's presence there. Then Billy McKee, a founding member of the PIRA in 1969, talks about how the PIRA dealt with informers. He says they all knew the rules. He says that he had no say in the 'disappearing' practice. He rejects the idea that Gerry Adams was never in the IRA. A video clip of a 1970 IRA Volunteers funeral shows Adams in the colour party. In June 1972 he was interned in Long Kesh. In 1972, at 23 years of age, he was released to represent the PIRA in talks with the British Government. Later that year he was promoted to OC of the Belfast Brigade. Jean McConville was killed in December of that year. Today Gerry Adams leads Sinn Fein. Over the course of the troubles at least 16 people were 'disappeared'. The IRA stopped the practice in 1981. The silence of unmarked graves is re-visited in Seamus Heaney's poem 'The Bog Queen'. With the PIRA ceasefire of 1994 the families voices could finally be heard. Their campaign had powerful allies, like US President Bill Clinton, who recalls why he supported the families in an interview with Darragh McIntyre. It was when he met M McKinney and he says he was impressed by her. Brian McKinney and his friend John McClory had been accused of using IRA weapons in an armed robbery. Margaret describes her son. Father Alec Reid, an intermediator, recalls the PIRA setting up a team to find the disappeared. He recalls his travels in this search in fields. 9 individual families were contacted, including the family of Columba McVeigh (17) from Tyrone, who disappeared in 1975. His brother Oliver recalls breaking the PIRA message to his mother. The PIRA statement admits killing and 'disappearing' 9 people. It would later become known that they killed others. In an interview Gerry Adams calls the disappeared a 'grave injustice' and that he hopes to rectify that. In 1999 a deal with the governments allows the PIRA to give evidence and not be prosecuted. Then Eamon Molloy's body is found in a coffin. Mick Finnegan, a retired Garda Chief Superintendent, recalls the find and subsequent searches. Then a profile of WAVE group's assistance to families. M McKinney comments at WAVE press meeting. 6 Week later she gets her son back. Film clip hears her comments at his coffin. He was found in the same grave as John McClory. Brendan McArdle, a retired Detective Inspector, comments on the methods of murder used. On Templetown beach in Dundalk Bay a search for Jean McConville began. Agnes had dreamt that she was buried on a beach. Film clips shown. However, no body was found. In 1999 only three bodies were found, then four years later a man out walking, John Garland, found Jean's body on a nearby beach. He describes that moment, then a film clip of the funeral. Then Michael wonders about her last moments and the cruelty of her killers. In south Armagh Gerry Evans was disappeared in 1979. The PIRA never admitted killing him. His mother Mary Evans comments on the silence. Two years later another south Armagh man, Charlie Armstrong, was disappeared. His name also was not on the IRA list. His daughter Anna McShane recalls her father, then his widow Kathleen. Anna recalls how the PIRA instigated rumours of sightings of Charlie. In 2001 a letter to Kathleen gives details of Charlie's burial place. . In 2010 they found Charlie. Kathleen recalls her feelings. Gerry Evans body was found a few months later. A local former PIRA member Martin McAllister says that local PIRA carried out those disappearances, and explains why. Then in an interview Gerry Adams gives two reasons why the Evans/Armstrong killings weren't admitted by the PIRA. Anna McShane comments on who killed her father and the condition of his body. Kathleen, his wife, is filmed praying at his grave. This year the search for Columba McVeigh continues at Bregan Bog. Dympna McVeigh describes her son as a 'mummy's boy'. She says the IRA has tortured their family. She describes the image of Columba crying before his murder. The searches for Kevin McKee and Seamus Wright are called off due to no new information. Darragh McIntyre plays a recording of 1972 IRA chief Brendan Hughes saying that McKee and Wright thought that they had 'immunity'. He felt betrayed that they had been shot. Then Gerry Adams is asked did he know Kevin McKee. He says that he knew the family, but did not know Kevin personally. He also knows the Wright family and the Four Square laundry affair. He refuses to admit that he knew that Seamus Wright had been disappeared. In 2003 the McConville family got a Police Ombudsman's investigation as to why there was no RUC inquiry into the abduction. Nuala O'loan comments on what she found out. The allegations about McConville being an informer were proved wrong. Darragh McIntyre recalls Jean's last days. Billy McKee then says he would have executed Jean but not buried her. He denies that 1940s men wanted disappearances for informers. Darragh McIntyre then investigates the IRA's 'Unknowns' unit, one of whom was Dolores Price. Before her death this year she admitted driving Jean McConville across the border and helping to disappear 3 others in 1972. She said she was acting under Gerry Adams orders. In his recording Brendan Hughes says the now leader of Sinn Fein gave the order for Jean's killing. Even today in the Dáil Adams regularly faces questions about Jean's murder. Film clip shown. In an interview with Darragh McIntyre Adams says that he had no part in her murder, and that Price and Hughes are lying because they are opponents of Sinn Fein's peace strategy. Ed Moloney comments on Adams denials. Adams points out that he is trying to get the bodies back. McConvilles still want the truth. The dig for Columba McVeigh ends in failure. Darragh McIntyre sums up the need for information. Photos of the disappeared shown at the end. | ||

Then Jenny O'Leary gives details of the accusations of his VFI property development company. After the opening titles in west Belfast Jenny O'Leary interviews Roisin Adams, who lost £100,000 in a property development marketed by Harry Fitzsimmons.

Witnesses comment in a film clip. After release from prison in the 1980s his talent for business came to the fore.

Description: |
Mark Carruthers begins with the story that has dominated the news all week, the Disappeared, following the joint BBC/RTE documentary called the Disappeared and the allegations in it pointing a finger of involvement at Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams. Mark Carruthers asks Sinn Fein Chairman Declan Kearney and the UUP's Mike Nesbitt if Sinn Fein are 'damaged goods', but before the debate an extract is shown in which two of McConville's children describe the last time that they saw their mother alive. Then Mike Nesbitt explains why they have tabled a Stormont motion this month to acknowledge the human cost of the troubles, as shown in this programme, and the cruelty of the PIRA. He says that it is not a divisive issue and that it was simply wrong to disappear people. Declan Kearney also comments on the 'Disappreared' families heartbreak, and says that it should never have happened. He urges anyone with information on those still missing to give it to the Commission for the Disappeared. He calls for a reconciliation process to begin. He is asked 'why does the IRA not just go to those involved and ask them where the bodies of the seven other people who were 'disappeared' are?' He replies that Geoff Knuffler says that republicans have given 100% cooperation to his commission. Mike Nesbitt says that we need honest leadership and trust. He asks 'how can unionists trust Sinn Fein who Gerry Adams says that he knows nothing about Jean McConville's murder and that he was never in the PIRA? 'He says that Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness are not credible to unionists. Declan Kearney says that the past can be an uncomfortable place for us all, and has for Gerry Adams he has hugely invested in the peace process to right the injustices of the past. Mike Nesbitt says that unionists have come up with answers, like saying that Bloody Sunday was unjustifiable, collusion in the Pat Finucane murder, the role of a priest in the Claudy bombing being covered up. Tonight it is Gerry Adams that must answer questions. Declan Kearney says that his focus is on developing a reconciliation process and not re-fighting old battles. He says that he believes Gerry Adams when he says that he was never in the IRA. He is pushed on the question and asked if he has ever asked Gerry Adams himself if he was ever in the IRA but he doesn't answer. He says that Gerry Adams leadership is not in danger. The next piece is about Derry's year-long cultural event, which is coming to an end. A public rift between the City Council and the Culture Company raises the question of whether the city can build on the successes of the last year. A film report from Gareth Gordon explores the current situation with a vox pop of local people, then artist Rita Duffy's views on the level of bureaucracy from the City Council., then Phillip Gilliland from the Derry Chamber of Commerce on the legacy of the festival, then artist Willie Doherty on the legacy issue, then followed by Oonagh McGillion, Legacy officer on Derry City Council. The next piece asks whether the Attorney General has over-reached himself. SDLP's Alex Attwood wants to see changes made to the office. In the studio he explains his view that the Attorney General has strayed in the world of policy and politics. Like Peter Hain, scandalising a judge case, or in the case of a lesbian couple wanting to adopt a child. He blames the Executive for giving the Attorney General too much of a role. His office should now be reconfigured says Attwood. He wants a review of the Attorney General's office done by a Scottish judge to be published. The OFMDFM office say that the report won't be published. Attwood outlines his views for appointing the next Attorney General. He denies it is a personal crusade against John Larkin. Next commentators Alex Kane and Paul McFadden give their views on the Declan Kearney/Mike Nesbitt debate on the 'Disappeared', where Sinn Fein circled the wagons to protect Gerry Adams, and the possible effect on Sinn Fein voters. Programme ends with comic routine from Tim McGarry. (Thurs) | ||

Danny Boy: The Ballad that Bewitched the World | ||
Description: |
The programme profiles the origins of the Irish ballad Danny Boy (The Londonderry Air) and explores it's enduring appeal to the Irish diaspora and beyond over generations as the song celebrates its 100 year anniversary. Programme begins with Elvis singing the song, and he says it was written by angels. Then a selection of musical people give a vox pop reaction to the tune, followed by the opening titles. Then the story begins in 1851 in Limavady. Music collector Jane Ross heard a fiddle player playing the melody, Jenny McCurry was the blind fiddler, historian Jim Hunter tells the story. In 1855 it was published in Dublin in the ancient music of Ireland. It was known as The Londonderry Air. Musician Joe Jackson comments, then music lecturer Dr Kate Overy's views on the music. In 1910 an English lawyer based in Bath, who moonlighted as a lyric writer, Fred Weatherley (1848-1929). His great Grandson Dr A Munn tells his story around his song-writing abilities. He had written the Danny Boy lyrics, but couldn't find a melody, then his brother and sister in law, Eddie and Margaret, visited him from Colorado. Margaret was from an Irish background. Phil Weatherley, Fred's great-nephew says that Margaret sent him the sheet music for the Londonderry Air from the USA, but it is believed that she sang the melody whilst in Bath. Larry Kirwan, a musician/author says that Fred hit the jackpot when he married the Derry Air to his Danny Boy lyrics however Margaret felt that her birthright was stolen from her when he published it in 1913, with no credit given to Margaret. Dr Gerry Smyth, Cultural Historian at LMU comments on the questions raised in the ambivalent lyrics. As WW1 began, the lyrics took on a special significance. Author Malachy McCourt talks about the words having a sense of longing. Then actor Gabriel Byrne talks about views on the lyrics on the lyrics having a sentimental connection on WW1 soldiers leaving wives and families. Then musicologist Brian Audley's views. Gabriel Byrne highlights other emotional anthems such as 'It's a Long Way to Tipperary'. At this times records were invented and music halls were popular says Brian Audley, and they spread the popularity of songs and singers. After WW1 in Ireland and the 1916 rebellion there was a new wave of opinion in favour of independence. The song found a new home in a turbulent Ireland, with the threat of death and hopes for the future. In Ireland a political third verse was added about Ireland attempting to free itself. Fred Weatherley in his 1926 autobiography celebrated the fact that his song was sung all over the world, by Sinn Feiners and Ulstermen alike. Gabriel Byne comments on this view. Danny Boy now moves to America with the massive Irish migration. Singer Tara O'Grady comments, as does singer Judy Collins. The words now seem to relate to emigration and longing for home. In the 1920s and 1930s Irish social position in the USA was on the rise. John McCormack, an opera singer, established the tune beyond the Irish Americans. Singer Brian Kennedy comments. The song then moved into 1940s Hollywood with John McCormack and Hollywood musicals. Bonnie Greer, writer and broadcaster, explains the role of Judy Garland singing the song in the 1946 film 'Because of Him'. It is now part of the American songscape. Dr Gerry Smyth comments on Jazz musicians playing the song, and other versions of this adaptable song were made, even in black American music. A yearning for something beyond connected with the blues. In the 1950s Harry Belafonte sang the song. Film clip shown. Gerry Smyth and Bonnie Greer comment on the power of the song and its connection to ordinary people. At the same time rhythm and blues musicians were playing different versions of the song. Jackie Wilson's version is played, which is a totally different song. Tara O'Grady comments, then Bonnie Greer on this sensual version. Then in 1958 Elvis was drafted to Germany. Brian D'arcy, a journalist, comments on how this changed his mood music as he began to record ballads. He recorded Danny Boy to think of home where his mother died. He sings it with heartache and spirituality. Musician Larry Kirwan then talks about how the song spread into the country music scene and into Nashville. Singer Roseanne Cash talks about all the country music themes that were present in Danny Boy. In 1965 Johnny Cash released his version of the song at a troubled time in his life. Film clip of him talking about the song. Dr Gerry Smyth explains his comments, and his troubled relationship with his father, the Roseanne Cash's views on this. American success boosted the song's reputation back in Ireland. It was now part of the fabric of Irish life. Composer Phil Collins says that he grew up with Danny Boy. The Chieftains founder Paddy Moloney comments on pub drunks singing it. By the late 1960s trouble began in the north, with republican and loyalist violence that had lain dormant since the 1920s re-asserting itself, darkening the mood of the country. Phil Coulter recalls the gloom. Then Boxing Champion Barry McGuigan recalls that era and describes his early life living on the border and marrying a Protestant girl. He saw sport, and boxing, as a unifying force and Danny Boy was his theme in 1985 when he won the world title and his father Pat (Ireland's singer in the 1968 Eurovision Song Contest) sang Danny Boy as his anthem before the fight. Phil clip shows that Phil Coulter arranged it. Film Director Jim Sheridan was there, and recalls the song's power and Barry recalls his motivation. Then Brian Kennedy's views. Danny Boy united the two communities in Northern Ireland. By the 1990s Danny Boy was entering the world of New York hip-hop. Larry Kirwan and his Irish-American band Black47 undermined the sacred status of the song for their own ends. He explains his idea to create a gay Irish labourer called Danny Boy. His idea is ridiculed. In 1990 the film 'Miller's Crossing' from the Coen Brothers exploit the son for its ironic potential. Gabriel Byrne, who was in the movie, explains the scene that it is used in. Jim Sheridan says that an Irish person wouldn't have used the song in such a violent scene, but by the end of the 1990s the song was viewed as a secular hymn. Brian D'arcy explains it's about 'this isn't the end, we'll meet again'. It was played at both John F Kennedy and Princess Diana's funerals and performed at Elvis's wake. In 2001 it was played at the funeral of comedian Carol O'Connor. Malachy McCourt explains that after this the Catholic Church banned the playing of secular songs at funerals just before 9/11. Firefighter Tim Gerrity was part of the 9/11 rescue teams and lost many friends that day. He says he recalls the searches in the rubble. 343 firefighters died in 9/11. He recalls Ronan Tynan singing Danny Boy. He says it was a 'goosebump' moment. Contrary to the Catholic Church's wishes Danny Boy was performed at a number of funerals. Malachy McCourt comments. In the 21st Century vocalists like Tara O'Grady tried to breathe new life into the song. She explains that she sings it up-tempo. Brian Kennedy talks about the problem reaching that 'Danny Boy' high note, as does Tara O'Grady. In 1929 Fred Weatherley died a rich man, but Margaret, his sister in law who introduced him to the Derry Air music, was not so lucky. Her husband Eddie died and Margaret's life fell apart. In writings that her grandson Anthony Mann found, she reveals her anger at Fred. In 1939 Margaret died penniless and insane. In 2013 the song was celebrated in Derry's city of culture year. Phil Coulter comments that it moves every generation. Contributors have their final comments on the song's legacy and future. | ||

Secrets and Dissidents: The War in the Shadows. | ||
Description: |
Reporter Ciaran Treacey looks at the current dissident republican campaign and the security services war against them using informers in a secret war, and how is that counter campaign affecting mainstream republicans' support for the PSNI. He asks the question 'who is winning the war in the shadows?. It begins with a vox pop of contributors to the programme about the current dissident republican threat. Some of the serious cases of terrorism remain unsolved. Lurgan man Colin Duffy's acquittal is mentioned. So how successful is the 'secret war'? Ciaran Treacey then goes to Maghaberry prison interview Lurgan man Martin Corey (63), classified as a dangerous Irish republican by the British. He was arrested in 2010. He is a convicted killer who was released on licence then re-arrested on the basis of secret evidence. He is accused of being a Continuity IRA leader but he hasn't been questioned, charged and has not faced trial. His sister, Colette Matthews, gives her views. He was jailed 40 years ago for killing two RUC officers near Lough Neagh. He was released on licence in 1992. 18 years later his licence was revoked. His sister comments on this. A judge released him on bail but a High Court Judge revoked this. PSNI ACC says he has seen the secret file on Martin Corey and supports the revoking decision. The file has also been seen by a security cleared lawyer and the panel that decides on early releases. The case tests the standards of what we mean by justice, evidence tested in open court, in the long term will this secrecy make things better or worse? Republican protests give Sinn Fein's opponents an opportunity to stir up republicans. Republican Sinn Fein's Cait Trainor comments on street protests, then Sinn Fein's Raymond McCartney explains why the party wants Martin Corey's release in this case as it undermines nationalist confidence in the PSNI. Ciaran Treacey then profiles the different roles that the PSNI and MI5 have against dissident republicans. The DUP's Jeffrey Donaldson says that he welcomes MI5's presence here., but the SDLP's Alban Magennis says that MI5's role here during the troubles shows that it can't be trusted. The MI5 Headquarters here are in Holywood, Co Down with 600 staff. Journalist John Mooney says that MI5's role here is to disrupt and sow seeds of dissent within these groups, not necessarily to fill the jails with them. In recent weeks there has been a resurgence in dissident republican attacks but MI5 Director General Andrew Parker says that they are winning. Jeffrey Donaldson agrees. Film of Dundalk man Michael Campbell in jail in Lithuania, caught trying to buy guns in an MI5 sting operation. It shows him talking to MI5 agents who he thought were gun dealers. His conviction was overturned by a judge who said that it was entrapment but John Mooney says that it adds to suspicion within dissident republicans, yet they have killed Prison Officer David Black since then however the 'New IRA' grouping is fractured over internal suspicions, John Mooney explains. No one has been convicted for Constable Ronan Kerr' murder and Colin Duffy was acquitted of the Massereene Barracks killings. UUP's Ross Hussey's comments on that, the ACC Drew Harris's views on convictions issue. The court of appeal is looking at the convictions of Brendan McConville and John Paul Wooton for the killing of PSNI Constable Steven Carroll 4 years ago. This case shows the major role of MI5. Evidence from their case against John Paul Wooton has gone missing. Ciaran Tracey explains that the missing evidence is a car tracker and explains the information that it contained, plus the 14 hours of tracker information that was deleted that no one could explain. Ross Hussey's comments. Then Sinn Fein's Raymond McCartney says such MI5 actions undermine confidence in the PSNI. Then ACC Harris gives his views. In Northern Ireland the security services are not monitored like they are in the rest of the UK. Lord Carlisle, the former independent monitor in the UK gives his views on the missing data. Next, Ciaran Treacey reports on his hour long conversation that he had with Martin Corey. He was not allowed to film it. Corey denies all allegations against him and says that he was arrested because he refused to become an informer. SDLP's Alban Magennis claims that this is internment without trial. DUP's Jeffrey Donaldson disagrees. Then Guildford Four's Gerry Conlon gives his views on British justice. Then Sinn Fein's Gerry Kelly on dissident republicans, the Republican Sinn Fein's Cait Trainor, the ACC Drew Harris on charges since 2010. In Co Tyrone Patrick Carty tells his story. He says he was interned on remand. Lord Carlisle denies that this happens. Then Newton Emerson's views and John Mooney. | ||

Britain's Secret Terror Force | ||
Description: |
In this documentary John Ware interviews seven British soldiers who claim that they were part of a secretive British Army unit called the Military Reaction Force (MRF) who operated in Belfast in the early 1970s. Begins with a former member saying that they were to draw out the IRA and if necessary they would be shot. In this programme they talk candidly of what they did for Queen and Country. They were there to act like a terror group says an ex-member. The programme uses film clips of real incidents and reconstructions to tell the story. John Ware says that the unit sometimes shot unarmed civilians. 40 years on the victims and their relatives still want the truth. After the opening titles a film clip of Bloody Sunday, where the Parachute Regiment killed 14 unarmed civilians. Getting to the truth took 40 years and cost £200 million, with Paras now being investigated for murder. Photos shown. John Ware says that what the MRF did has been airbrushed from history but some unnamed soldiers have come forward to tell how they joined the undercover unit and what they did. 3 of the 7 soldiers go before the camera. They say that they never wore army uniforms, and that there were 40 hand-picked men in the MRF unit. They were told that they officially did not exist on paper. They patrolled west Belfast in unmarked cars. Using a reconstruction one of the soldiers recalls an operation where they spotted a wanted list car which fired at them using an armalite but no one was hit. This soldier also produces a submachine gun with a silencer and a 9mm pistol for the camera. It was used to kill silently he said. John Ware then profiles the dangers of Belfast in 1972 using film clips of car bombs exploding. There were over 10,000 shootings in that year alone. 500 people died and 5000 were injured. RUC Officer Alan Simpson (1973-1993) recalls that time. The PIRA planted nearly 1800 bombs. The politicians turned to the army to restore order. The role of the MRF in republican areas was to see and not be seen. The soldiers tell of different disguises that they used, such as council street sweepers, dustbin men and alcoholics. General Sir Mike Jackson praises the men's courage. Film clip shown of him as a young Para raiding a house in Belfast. He eventually became head of the British Army. Besides surveillance the soldiers say that they were a hard-hitting counter-terrorism unit who shot terrorists. Film clip of an IRA patrol shown as a soldier says that if they came across a known IRA operator he would be 'taken out'-killed. MRF records have been destroyed and soldiers have avoided incriminating themselves but it is clear that some of them found it acceptable to shoot an unarmed person. Reconstruction of 15/4/1972 shows shown. Brothers John and Gerry Conway walk to a fruit stall they ran. Eyewitness Eamonn Wallace recalls what happened, as does John Conway. A car with armed men pulled up beside them, got out and shot them. Another eyewitness, Elizabeth Gowdy, describes the scene. Witnesses say they heard the army say that they'd shot Tolan and Bryson, two known IRA operators. In the hospital Sonny Conway says that the army insisted that his brother Gerry was John Bryson. Even today the Ministry of Defence won't say if these soldiers were in the MRF. In Parliament the government denied that soldiers were involved in undercover shootings. 19/5/1972 statement shown. Then General Sir Mike Jackson explains yellow card rules for army opening fire, but MRF men say that it didn't apply to them. Then film clip of Brigadier Frank Kitson in 1971 talks about putting down insurgency by doing unpleasant things. Tony Le Tissier in 1972 was a Major in the Royal Military Police (RMP). He was sent to Belfast to deal with complaints against the army. He says that the army had a colonial approach to Northern Ireland. Photos of victims of drive-by shootings shown. John Ware explains what they were. Barricades set up in both Protestant and Catholic areas. Film clips shown of armed men at barricades. MRF says that armed men were always at the barricades. They 'took out' individuals at barricades. John Ware profiles two incidents with reconstructions and eye-witness accounts. Firstly the shooting of Aidan McAloon and Eugene Devlin. They explain what happened. As they walked towards a barricade they were shot by soldiers in a car. The MRF told the RMP that they shot armed men. RUC forensics tested the two men but they 'hadn't handled guns'. On the same night a second MRF car shot 5 other men. Reconstruction shown. Fr Brendan McGee recalls giving the last rites to Pat McVeigh, who died. His daughter Patricia recalls events. Pat was walking home from the pub and stopped at the barricade to talk to a man. News clips shown. Eye witness Gerry O'Hare talks about events then and now. The MRF soldier in charge was Sergeant Clive Williams, nicknamed 'Taff'. Picture shown. His statement to RMP shown. Men tested but they hadn't been armed. Army implies that loyalists had done the shooting. MRF member say that they were under the impression that the men were armed. He denies that it was murder. 6 weeks later Williams was in a car that shot Joe Smith, who was sitting in his car. He describes the incident with eye-witness account of Hugh Kenny, who was also wounded. News report at the time hears eye-witness account. 4 men were wounded. Sgt Williams says the men shot at him.

Presenter Mark Carruthers asks the question as to whether there is any merit to Attorney General John Larkin's proposals for dealing with the past, where he said that there should be no further prosecutions for troubles-related crimes. It has been a week where Northern Ireland's past has dominated its present. A film report by Martina Purdy investigates the challenge of letting go and what happens if we don't. It begins with a film clip of troubles violence, then a quick vox pop of Patrick Corrigan (Amnesty International), Sandra Peake (WAVE), Professor Brendan Hamber and Dr Phil McGarry. What is the truth and who is a victim is so divisive that it continues to imprison us in the past and threaten society and politics. Then Dennis Bradley's comments on two sections of society's competing narratives of over who were the 'real baddies'. Politicians want to solve it in a way that suits their own constituency, but it has to be solved for everyone or else it won't work. Film clip then shown of the row that erupts at the launch of the Eames/Bradley report. We didn't get the proposed legacy commission. Dennis Bradley comments on the amnesty issue, then Patrick Corrigan says that he opposes a blanket amnesty. Then Professor Brendan Hamber talks about talking about these issues as a necessity. Truth has trumped justice before in Northern Ireland, as in the search for the 'disappeared'. WAVE's Sandra Peake comments on the problems facing those families, but most agree that the status quo can't continue. Film of WAVE injured group at Stormont. Dr Philip McGarry says that if this issue isn't sorted then there always exists the potential for violence around the edges and that you can't just draw a line around the past and say forget about a terrible hurt. Richard Haas faces no 'pain free' option. Then in the studio Mark Carruthers hears Paul O'Connor from the Pat Finucane Centre says that there is no merit in the Larkin proposals and that it has caused hurt to a lot of families. He says that you don't deal with the past by drawing a line under it. Former RUC ACC Alan McQuillan says that he believes in a society based on laws and that walking away from past crimes is contrary to that. He thinks that the Larkin proposals would end up in 'trial by television', maintaining the sore in society. Paul O'Connor says that there is merit in talking about how we deal with 40 years of conflict in terms of inquests and prosecutions. He points out that many victims' families opt for HET enquiries and that many families now won't get one Paul O'Connor talks about the role of storytelling when families don't know the story, then discussion over whether you can have the truth without justice and about storytelling. They discuss John Larkin's timing on this issue. Then the views of the DUP's Peter Robinson are shown in a film clip, as are those of Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness. Both are critical of John Larkin. Then in the studio Naomi Long (Alliance) says that John Larkin got it wrong. She says that an amnesty is not acceptable in law. She says that it sends out the wrong message to dissidents. She says that it undermines his credibility. Then the SDLP's Alex Attwood says that we should support victims by supporting an ethical process for dealing with the past. Larkin has caused hurt and that he shouldn't interfere in politics as he is a legal advisor to the government. Then the UUP's Tom Elliott says that Larkin has united all of the parties in opposition to an amnesty. He debates whether it is an amnesty or not. Jude Whyte's opinions recalled. Tom Elliott says that it is a one-sided process against the state at the moment and that Larkin got that right. They are asked to comment on Dennis Bradley's opinions on politicians' divisive approaches, and politicians using victims as a weapon. Naomi Long praises the Victims' Forum for being able to work together. Alex Attwood says that Eames/Bradley should be re-examined and politicians need to listen to victims and survivors. Tom Elliott refers to Sinn Fein not telling the truth to the Bloody Sunday and Smithwick tribunals. Then commentator Susan McKay criticises John Larkin's comments and the furore over the word amnesty. Journalist Liam Clarke says that we are getting knee-jerk reactions. He defends some of Larkin's suggestions which have been missed today. Both comment on BBC's Panorama shown tonight on getting the truth. Then they look at tweets of the week. Then Tim McGarry comedy spot from Stormont. (Thurs) | ||

Mark Carruthers interviews DUP minister Arlene Foster about this weekend's planned flags protest by loyalists on the first anniversary of the city hall decision to remove the union flag on all but designated days. He asked the Enterprise Minister if she thinks that the protest should go ahead. She says that people have the right to protest but that anyone planning violence should stay away. If it is a peaceful protest then it should not cause any disruption to Belfast's traders. She says that there is nothing inevitable about violence occurring and that we shouldn't be fatalistic about the prospect of violence occurring. She says that she would have preferred if protest organisers had've engaged with city traders regarding their concerns. She denies that what she is saying is that politics trumps economics. She says that she feels that Belfast is a big enough city to accommodate a peaceful protest. Mark Carruthers asks her if she feels that the protest should be lawful as well as peaceful, with protests obeying the Parades Commission's ruling. She agrees that they should respect the law, even if they don't agree with it. She goes on to talk about Northern Ireland coming out of recession and increased job creation, and how we should focus on that. Then she comments on the US Consulate's advice to visitors here to stay away from parades as they 'are nothing to get excited about'. She says that the Consulate was embarrassed by this advice, and she points out how dangerous Chicago is for visitors. When she is told visitor figures from the Republic of Ireland are down 44% from last year she says that overall visitor figures are up 6% due to visitors coming from Britain. She says that it is the perceptions of safety and security that are affecting southern visitors. Next film report goes to Ballymena with a vox pop asking people would Saturday's flag protest in Belfast put you off going there. Most reply that it would. Then the Progressive Unionist Party's Johnny Harvey in the studio denies that the protest will damage Belfast. He accuses Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness of ramping up tensions over the parade all week. Harvey denies that the UVF is organising the parade and claims that he does not know who is organising the parade. He says that the protest will be peaceful and hopefully lawful. He says that he will be there encouraging people to stay within the law. He says that working class loyalist issues aren't being dealt with. A report commissioned by the SDLP says that the party is 'resting on its laurels' and is too complacent and stuck in the past, and that many nationalists do not see the party as a vehicle for change, but as a self-interested conservative group. Steven Walker's film report reviews the SDLP's high point in 1992 when it took Sinn Fein's west Belfast seat from Gerry Adams. Before that John Hume was the political 'top dog'. In the 1997 general election the SDLP outpolled Sinn Fein by 60,000 votes but in 2010 the tables were turned. Then details of the focus report given. Positives were few and far between. It is the comparison with Sinn Fein that will cause the most concern. A list is shown, the QUB's Rick Wilford comments. Report says that nationalist voters want a reason to vote for the SDLP again. Then Steven Walker's report lists the reports proposals for the party to do something different. Cathy Gormley-Heenan of the Ulster University says that the party should consider going into opposition in Stormont. Then Rick Wilford on the failings of Alasdair McDonnell as leader. Then Mark Carruthers interviews MLA Colum Eastwood about the report. He says it is only the work of a focus group of 50 people who do not vote for the SDLP and should be looked at in that context. It is important that the SDLP listens but it is nothing to get depressed about. He rejects the accusation that they are a middle-class party, saying instead that they are a broad based party, and that they are not resting on their laurels, but they are proud of their past. He is questioned about the party selecting Fearghal McKinney instead of Claire Hanna to replace Conall McDevitt in south Belfast and is asked for his views on Alasdair McDonnell's leadership and his views on going into opposition. He says that there is no place for an opposition. Then the commentators Liam Clarke and Susan McKay give their views on the SDLP report and Saturday's flag protest plans, then Comedy sketch from Tim McGarry at Stormont. (Thurs) | ||

Mark Carruthers begins with a verbal review of the continuing loyalist flags protest yesterday, the he is joined by the Alliance's Naomi Long and the DUP's Gregory Campbell to discuss the issues surrounding the protest.

A decision that she says was made democratically and for the right reasons. She also says that the protestors had banners about 'smashing' the Alliance Party and political policing, so she is not sure where their anger is being directed at. She says loyalists may fell marginalised but that she blames unionist politicians for that. The DUP's Gregory Campbell commends the peaceful protest, and calls the City Hall decision a serious democratic error. Naomi Long says that she will not be bullied into reversing a good decision.

Then solicitor Ernie Watterworth's views on the three Garda suspects Finbar Hickey, Leo Colton and Owen Corrigan who were investigated by Smithwick. No one Garda was named as being the PIRA mole, a 4th Garda who was un-named, was highlighted in PSNI evidence to the tribunal.

Then in the studio the DUP's Paul Givan, the UUP's Danny Kennedy, the SDLP's Dolores Kelly and in Derry Sinn Fein's Raymond McCartney are questioned about their views on the Smithwick Report. Paul Givan thinks that these findings will affect the Haas talks, he accused Dublin not only of collusion but also of arming the PIRA and refusing to extradite suspects.

Danny Kennedy comments on the fallout in terms of Northern Ireland, and the serious questions about IRA evidence for truth commissions here. Dolores Kelly says that Smithwick has set the standard for collusion inquiries. She wants a Finucane inquiry. Paul Givan accuses the Irish government of being in denial. Raymond McCartney says we need to examine British government collusion as part of a wider process. Next journalist John Mooney gives the reaction of senior Garda officers in Dublin, then former RUC officer Alan Mains, who was meant to be with the two Superintendents that day, gives his reaction to the Smithwick findings, the Eamon Maillie asks the questions as to why did the Superintendents use their own cars on that day and why weren't they armed?

Mark Carruthers begins with the death of Nelson Mandela, aged 95, then a film report from Martina Purdy looks back on his remarkable life. Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness calls him an inspirational figure in his life. Film clip of him along with Gerry Adams is shown. They shake hands and Nelson Mandela says that he supports the peace process. He invited and received all of the local parties to South Africa for talks. Film clip shown, then the DUP's Jeffrey Donaldson recalls his comment that you don't make peace with your friends, you make peace with your enemies. Then UUP's David Trimble on his views on Mandela. He visited Dublin in the 1980s when Dunnes Stores workers boycotted South African goods. Film clip shown. Former Queens University student Carmel Ferguson recalls renaming QUB hall the Mandela Hall.

Then in the studio former QUB Professor of Politics Adrian Guelke talks about the affection felt for Mandela in South Africa and the esteem in which he is held globally. He comments on his importance to the peace process in Northern Ireland, which got off to a bad start. He enjoyed the trust of Sinn Fein and helped them move away from violence. Next Mark Carruthers moves on to the Smithwick Inquiry story and the findings of collusion between the PIRA and a Garda officer in the March 1989 murder of RUC Superintendents Bob Buchanan and Harry Breen. A film report reviews the ambush, the John Hermon's response in 1989 and then the reaction today in the Dáil. Then in the studio the DUP's Jeffrey Donaldson, the SDLP's Dolores Kelly and the former head of RUC Special Branch Raymond White discuss the Smithwick Report.

He then comments on the political expediency comments by Smithwick, and John Hermon's denial of collusion back in 1989. He feels that Hermon couldn't make an accusation that he couldn't fully support. To have done so would have stopped any cooperation. Jeffrey Donaldson says that he would have liked to have seen individual Garda charged, but praises Smithwick overall and discusses evidence presented about Garda failings. Dolores Kelly says that it has shocked Ireland. She praises Smithwick, and victims getting truth despite political expediency. Victims might not get justice but they want the truth. Jeffrey Donaldson says that in this case justice might not be possible. He accuses the Gardaà of not cooperating with Smithwick, and says that there were other examples of Garda collusion. He comments on John Hermon's 1989 comments dismissing collusion.

Mark Carruthers tonight focuses on one of the three main issues facing the Haas talks: Parading. Is solving the problem a pipe-dream? As Richard Haas arrives back in Belfast tomorrow to begin a final round of talks the programme begins with a Stephen Walker film report on the 'homework' Haas had given the parties as the talks begin to move from information gathering to the negotiation stage. On the issue of parading and protests Haas has posed four questions. Firstly, what criteria should be used by a parading body to make adjudications? Dr Gladys Ganiel of the Irish School of Ecumenics says that the current system probably gets it more right more often than wrong. Haas' second question asks what might a revised code of conduct include? Crumlin/Ardoyne Residents Association spokesman Joe Marley gives his answer to this, that it should be legally binding. Haas third question is how might the political independence of a reformed commission or a new body be established? Former Presbyterian Moderator Dr John Dunlop says that any new body needs to be politically supported. It is pointed out that this regularly happens in Derry parades. Derry's Garvan O'Doherty explains the Derry model. Then Haas' fourth question. How might a parading body be selected? Orangeman David McNarry says that the Parades Commission should be abolished and that a judge should rule on parades and protests. He says that the Haas process is already pre-determined. Next in the studio Mark Carruthers interviews the current head of the Parades Commission Peter Osborne about Haas' four questions and their relevance. He believes that there has to be a strengthened type of commission on parades. He includes some extra functions that he feels the commission needs. He says that in 15 years the current commission has improved the parading environment. He then comments on arrests and convictions in respect of parading and inappropriate behaviour. He appears to criticise the DUP's Nelson McCausland's behaviour and bad leadership in Northern Ireland. Then commentators Alex Kane and Patricia McBride give their opinions on Haas' chance of getting any agreement on the issue of parading, flags and the past. Both express concerns. (Sunday) | ||

Description: |
In Irish with English subtitles, the programme profiles the execution of anti-treaty volunteer Liam Mellows in 1922 during the Irish civil war using reconstructions and old film clips. Mellows was from the Connolly/Socialist faction of republicanism. He was raised in Co Wexford with his mother's family from the age of 3, but was born in England in 1892, the son of a British Soldier. Writer Michael McQuaid describes the influences on him as a young boy, such as stories of the 1798 rebellion told to him by the gardener at the Hyde Park Estate. Liam Mellows enjoyed reading books as a boy. He was sent to military school but didn't join the British army. Under the influence of Tom Clarke he joined Ná FÃanna Éireann and began recruiting other young men when at the time all political talk was of Home Rule, not independence. Cormac o Comhraà describes Mellows interest in the works of James Connolly, whom he met at the home of Countess Markiewiecz. Connolly had been on hunger-strike for locked out workers. Emmet O'Connor describes Connolly as a Marxist Republican. In 1914 Erskine Childers brought a cargo of guns to Ireland for the Irish Volunteers. Reconstruction shown. Mellows was at the docks to unload them. Tim Magennis recalls the Asgard event. When WW1 broke out nationalist leader John Redmond encouraged Irishmen to join the British army for the freedom of small nations. This caused a split within the Volunteers. Mellows led an IRB campaign against enlistment. At Tuam Sean MacDÃarmada was arrested with a list of IRB leaders. Mellows managed to visit him and burn the list before the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) found it. He was then sent to Galway to organise the troops for the rising against the British in 1916. Not much happened in Galway. Two RIC were killed, After the rising Mellows was in hiding in Co Clare and eventually escaped to America. In 1917 the Bolsheviks toppled the Czar in Russia. Mellows was delighted. After the 1918 election Eamonn de Valera went to America with a message of Irish independence. Liam Mellows was with him. Michael McQuaid explains their actions in America, the Michael Hopkinson's views on the strong US/British alliance at that time. President Wilson refers to the Irish as 'nuisances'. Mellows returns to Ireland, where Sinn Fein had shifted to the left politically and the British had started a propaganda war linking Sinn Fein to the Bolsheviks in Russia. Meanwhile across the UK the British government were afraid of a socialist revolution. In 1919 tanks were sent to Glasgow and in 1920 the Black and Tans were sent to quell the revolt in Ireland. Luke Gibbons talks about the economic unrest in Ireland caused by the unions who grew from 5000 to 50,000. Then John M Regan comments on the martial law and the force used by the British. Mellows was now the Director of Supplies for the IRA. Ultimately in December 1921 the British sign a treaty with elements of the IRA. In January 1922 Mellows spoke against it in the Dáil. Michael Hopkinson comments on the Dáil debate, then John Regan's view on Britain's needs. The treaty is passed. Brendan Bradshaw says that the Irish middle classes accepted the treaty, whereas the working class didn't and this was seen in the geographical breakdown of people supporting it. In April the anti-treaty IRA seized the Four Courts in Dublin. Film clip shown. Liam Mellows defended the action in the Dáil. Re-enactment of his speech shown. Theo Dorgan comments. On June 28th 1922 the pro-treaty IRA laid siege to the Four Courts. Mellows was in the Four Courts and refused to surrender, but eventually they had to and Mellows was imprisoned in Mountjoy, where he still kept his dream of a socialist republic. Moscow papers released in 1989 show that in 1922 the IRA was in contact with the Communists. In Dublin they met Ernie O'Malley, Emmet O'Connor explains. From prison Mellows sent a note explaining where money was that could buy communist weapons, but the Soviets pulled out, fearing it would damage new Anglo-Soviet trade relations. On 8th December 1922 Mellows was selected for execution after the IRA killed pro-treaty TD Sean Hales in an act of revenge. Theo Dorgan comments on the pro-treaty fears of socialism. | ||

Description: |
Mark Carruthers interviews the former British Minister John Major, crediting with starting the peace process, on current issues in Northern Ireland. He begins with his analysis of the Downing Street Declaration. He says the peace process is like a Rubix Cube. He comments on contacts with the PIRA but rejects the idea that the government should now be talking to dissident republicans and explains his reasons. He rejects criticisms of David Cameron as being disconnected from the peace process. He highlights the current good British/Irish relationship. He admits that he is disappointed that flags, parading and the past remain issues in Northern Ireland, fifteen years after the Good Friday Agreement. He thinks that Richard Haas is the right person to look at these problems. He says he doesn't see any danger of Northern Ireland slipping back towards the violence of the past. He tells loyalists that their fear of their Britishness being eroded in a phantom fear. He also comments on limited immunity in dealing with the past, saying let's wait and see what Haas comes up with. He returns to British/Irish relations and praises the Queen's visit to Ireland, and next year's planned state visit to the UK by President Higgins. He also highlights the level of trade between Britain and Ireland. Next Mark Carruthers introduces a film report by Martina Purdy examining the idea of a limited immunity to discover the truth about the past, and examines the chances of getting justice. The recent conviction of Seamus Kearney for the killing of RUC Reservist John Proctor in 1981 is profiled as a rare example of success. His widow Jane McMullen comments. Then Haas talks commented on by Ulster University's Dr Louise Mullinder on immunity options to get results. BBC Panorama's programme 'Britain's Secret Terror Force' provided details of the activities of the Military Reaction Force. The daughter of one of their victims, Patricia McVeigh, gives her views on getting truth rather than justice. She wants justice. Then Ann Travers opposes any plans that give killers immunity from justice. She highlights Judge Smithwick's comments on not trusting PIRA evidence. Then Paul Gallagher says that he has no interest in a Truth Commission and is more interested in support services. Then in the studio the Alliance's Naomi Long and former Police Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan debate the case for and against limited immunity to achieve truth. Naomi Long says that a comprehensive programme is better than none at all, even if it doesn't work for everyone. Nuala O'Loan says that she would not allow limited immunity for murder, but highlights the success of immunity in helping to recover the bodies of the 'disappeared'. She rejects Attorney General John Larkin's approach. She also raises the issue of providing for the injured. Then commentators Susan McKay and Liam Clarke give their views on limited immunity and the choices facing Richard Haas. Susan McKay says that the Good Friday Agreement put aside victims' issues and now it is their time (programme ends early). (Thurs) | ||

Description: |
For the second time in three nights a dissident republican incendiary device has exploded in Belfast city centre in Cornmarket in a golf shop. It comes just hours after the PSNI Chief Constable criticised dissidents for Friday night's device. Film report with reaction of Belfast's business owners, then a vox pop of diners tonight in Belfast's Cathedral Quarter about the attacks, then the views of some restaurant owners. Back in the studio Paul Clark talks to journalist Brian Rowan, Brian Feeney and Alex Kane about the dissident republican attacks and their motives, and their attempts to create instability and damage Belfast. The panel says that a robust police response is what the dissidents would want. A further film report shows Belfast's Lord Mayor MairtÃn O'Muilleoir and the PSNI Chief Constable Matt Baggott walking around Belfast's Christmas Market at City Hall, the message being that Belfast is open for business. The film report then reviews events surrounding Friday night's partial explosion of an incendiary device. And the inaccurate warning. PSNI ACC Will Kerr is considering releasing an image of a suspect and asks the public to check their i-phones etc for any pictures taken in the area on Friday night around 7pm. Then city centre traders comment on the business that they lost over the weekend, and Colin Neill from Pubs of Ulster comments. Then PSNI Chief Constable Matt Baggott's views on dissident republicans. Back in the studio the panel comments on the issues raised in the report. Today Richard Haas presented a document on his proposals for dealing with the issues of flags, parading and the past to the five parties and the DUP rejected it. Film report on the beginning of intense talks as the end-of-year deadline approaches. From Tracy Magee, the DUP emerged early to give their reaction to the 30 document, along with the bits that they like and the bits that they have problems with. Then later at Stormont the party leader Peter Robinson 'hit the roof'. He called the report inadequate, saying that if this was the final paper 'there would be steam coming out of his ears'. In a tweet Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness called on politicians to 'cool their jets'. The UUP's Mike Nesbitt was uneasy about the paper. He said that flags were the thorniest issue. The SDLP's Alasdair McDonnell was cautious, but more optimistic, and said that the 'devil was in the detail'. Alliance's Naomi Long warned against parties 'grandstanding' on the issue of flags. What we need now, she says, is political leadership and a focus on getting results. Richard Haas himself was in London today for talks with the Prime Minister and the Northern Ireland Secretary of State. It is believed that they will meet the Irish government in Dublin on Wednesday. Then Tracy Magee's analysis. Back in the studio the panel listens to Brian Rowan who gives them a flavour of what is in the Haas paper shown to the parties today. On the flags issue, with the tricolour flown on Irish government visits to the north, with Alex Kane's reaction to this and to the designated days for the union flag, followed by Brian Feeney's views. Then on parades Brian Rowan says that a 7 person adjudication body called the Public Events Authority would replace the Parades Commission. It would be overseen by the Northern Ireland Department of Justice and not the Northern Ireland Office. Brian Feeney says that Sinn Fein got the appeals procedure. Alex Kane says that it is a form of madness as everything would be appealed. On the issue of the past one Investigations Unit would pull together the HET, the Police Ombudsman and legacy cases, including the Coroner's Courts. Then also an Independent Information Recovery Body with limited immunity for witnesses coming forward. This has raised controversy as to whether this is an amnesty. Alex Kane says that it is fudge and humbug, Brian Feeney says that it is enormously complicated and Brian Rowan says that Haas will not get 5 party agreement. He'll have to produce a document that he feels is the best way forward. In other news a pipe bomb has been made safe in Hannahstown in west Belfast. PSNI are granted more time to question a man over the murder of Karen Smith and Finbarr McGrillen in Ravenhill Court on Friday. Film report . In 2003 Neil McConville was shot dead by police near Lisburn after a car chase. A shotgun was recovered from the car. He was the first person killed by the PSNI here. The Police Ombudsman found that the officer who shot Neil was justified in doing so but the operation was criticised. Two senior officers involved had played a role in the controversial killings of the PIRA's Pearse Jordan in west Belfast in 1992 and Michael Tighe in a 1982 'shoot to kill' incident. The McConville legal team have been unable to get further information from the PSNI on the officers involved and complained to the Coroner's Court today. Film report. UUP's Lord Laird faces a four month suspension from the House of Lords. Film report. (Mon 11pm) | ||
