Vincent Browne's Magill magazine remains one of the most important publications of its kind in Irish history. Joined by Kevin Rafter (author of Fearless, a new history of the magazine published by New Island Books), we journey through some of its important Dublin stories and locations. From the heroin crisis in suburban Dublin to the failures of the Ballymun project, Magill reported truthfully and fearlessly on life in the capital.
