Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning

The Disappeared. From 1920 to 1998. How the memory of the murdered has become a game of whataboutery.


Listen Later

The last episode of Free State ended with Joe and Dion arguing while guest Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc kept the peace.  Today, they continue the conversation about how Ireland deals with the trauma of the wars fought on this island over the past 100 years. What would have become of Michael Collins if he hadn’t been killed? Would he have continued to simply be a fine finance minister as some Fine Gael politicians said or would he have taken a turn in another direction?  Joe and Dion continue to disagree about how the past is dealt with. They look at the Bandon Valley Massacre and why the truth about these events must be confronted.


Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.
