Locked Up and Lines Drawn: Internment, Borders, and Banned Booze


Listen Later

From the revival of internment debates sparked by a Belfast priest's letter in 1975 to revisiting the still-fuzzy lines of the Boundary Commission, the Irish History Boys delve into thorny issues of the past. They also take a detour to the dry lands of American Prohibition, proving that some things, like a decent pint, are hard to keep locked down – unlike those caught up in internment without trial. It’s a potent brew of history, controversy, and the occasional historical curveball.
