    Belfast: Bloody Friday – What impact did the IRA’s Blitz have?
    Dec 23 2024

    The 21st of July 1972 was the most prolific day of IRA bombings during the Troubles. Nine people were killed and 130 injured as a blitz of 22 bombs detonated throughout Belfast in under two hours. That day has since become known as Bloody Friday. Why did it happen, how did it happen? Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Malachi O’Doherty, Niamh Campbell and Aaron Edwards.


    This episode was originally published in July 2022.

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

    Sam McBride: The IRA’s Northern Bank Robbery and how it almost shattered the peace process
    Dec 20 2024

    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.
