From "Fenian Fitt" to "Fitt the Brit", the enigma of the SDLP founder Gerry Fitt
Gerry Fitt was once political giant, but he ended up in obscurity, sitting in the House of Lords as a baron. Once described as ‘Fenian Fitt’ he ended up with more unionist views, derided as ‘Fitt the Brit’. Who really was Gerry Fitt and what is the story behind his political journey?
Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Dr Michael A Murphy, author of ‘Gerry Fitt, a Political chameleon’ and by Dr Sarah Campbell, author of Gerry Fitt and the SDLP: 'In a Minority of One'.
