About this episode
On Remembrance Sunday in November 1987, an IRA bomb exploded in the Northern Irish town of Enniskillen - killing 11 people. No one has ever been charged. The Times’s Mario Ledwith returns to his hometown, asking who carried out these bloody murders, how the authorities failed to properly investigate, and why a silence continues to surround what happened? Episodes out now on all podcast platforms.
