This week I’m joined by Austin Stack, son of murdered Portlaoise Maximum Secruity Prison Officer, Brian Stack, who was shot and later died after a planned IRA attack in 1983.

Austin tells us about the night his father was shot, what his life was like in the 18 months between Brian being sh*t in the head and his eventual passing and how he would later come to a place of forgiveness.

I asked Austin about his quest for truth surrounding his father’s death, those who were involved and where they are now, his meetings and relationship with Gerry Adams and what “justice” for his father would mean.
