Three Castles Burning
It is almost fifty years since the burning of the British Embassy on Merrion Square, following Bloody Sunday. Just how did Dublin - and the Republic more broadly - respond to the events in Derry, and what was different less than a decade later, at the time of the 'Battle of Ballsbridge' in 1981?
Guest is Dr. Brian Hanley, author of The Impact of the Troubles on the Republic of Ireland 1968-1979: Boiling Volcano?
