William Hampton was a nomadic millionaire famously described by Leo Varadkar “a vagabond who lived in a caravan”. Hampton left most of his fortune to Sinn Fein. Unsurprisingly – the party were happy to take the money, and equally unsurprisingly their rivals were quick to criticise that, especially given that the money went north. Now Sinn Féin is set to take in over £80k after a derelict cottage in County Carlow was found to belong to Hampton. Ciarán Dunbar is joined by the Belfast Telegraph’s Andrew Madden. Hosted on Acast.

31:32

A coroner’s ruling the SAS was unjustified in shooting dead four IRA men in Tryone has been controversial with unionist politicians and British Army veterans. The four IRA men were shot dead in Clonoe in 1992, minutes after attacking Coalisland RUC Station. All four were members of the IRA’s East Tyrone brigade – one of the organisations most active. But it was also one which lost many of its own members at the hands of the security forces, particularly the SAS.

Allison Morris: The origins of the PSNI and the challenge of recruiting Catholics 31:28

28 days ago31:28

31:28

23 years after its emergence, the PSNI is still less than one third Catholic and the numbers attempting to join are according to the Chief Constable "below what's needed". Its latest recruitment campaign attracted a total of 3,500 applications but only 27% are perceived to be Catholic. The PSNI was born out of the Patten reforms of the old RUC but the changes which reforms brought about were painful for many who saw them as a betrayal. The controversial 50/50, Catholic / Protestant recruitment policy was seen as discrimination against Protestants. Allison Morris joins Ciarán Dunbar to explain the background of the PSNI and the current difficulties it faces. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…
