Sam McBride: The IRA’s Northern Bank Robbery and how it almost shattered the peace process


Listen Later

The infamous Northern Bank heist shook the peace process to its core with suspicion immediately falling on the Provisional IRA. The Northern Bank was forced to replace millions of pounds of notes soon after the huge crime but most of the money was never found. It was far from the ‘victimless’ crime some portrayed it as it left innocent people deeply traumatised. Why did the IRA emerge from the shadows to carry out this robbery and why did they do it? 


Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Belfast Telegraph editor Sam McBride.
