In March 1994 the IRA attacked Heathrow Airport with mortar bombs, they were high profile and highly symbolic acts.
One of those involved was Glasgow-born IRA man Michael Gallagher.
He was eventually arrested and charged but he managed to convince his English partner Mary Attenborough that he was innocent. Mary then campaigned for what she thought was justice for Michael.
But when he was convicted and given a twenty-year sentence, he decided he had to tell her the truth. Amazingly, they are still together – and have written a book about their experiences – it's called ‘Unbroken: Secrets, Lies and Enduring Love’.
Mary Attenborough and Michael Gallagher joined Ciarán Dunbar in the BelTel studio.
