Episode 421: The kidnapping of Don Tidey


Listen Later

The kidnap of top supermarket executive Don Tidey and the nationwide manhunt that followed ended 23 days later during a chaotic rescue in a Leitrim wood when a recruit Garda and a soldier lost their lives.


Now the incredible story from 1983 and its implications on political relations with Ireland and England, details on ransom demands to big business and the legacy it left on the Leitrim town of Ballinamore are brought together in a major new page-turner.


Nicola is joined by journalists and Leitrim natives Tommy Conlon and Ronan McGreevy about their fascinating new book 'The Kidnapping'.
