Joe Lynskey: The monk who joined the IRA and was 'disappeared' by it over trying to kill his love rival


Listen Later

Remains exhumed from a grave in County Monaghan are being DNA tested to determine whether they include those of Joe Lynskey. One of the ‘disappeared’, the former monk turned IRA man was abducted, murdered and secretly buried in 1972. Lynskey is understood to have tricked a fellow IRA man into shooting a love rival – also a member of the IRA. The IRA ‘court martial’ sentenced him to death 

Allison Morris joins Ciarán Dunbar to tell Joe Lynskey’s story.
