Understanding the Irish Troubles: Dr Thomas Leahy. (Ep.1)

In today’s episode, (the first of 3), we take a deep dive into one of the most defining and emotionally charged chapters of modern British and Irish history — the Troubles. With the anniversary of the Downing Street Declaration approaching, this is a timely and gripping dive into the people, politics, and centuries-long tensions that shaped the conflict.

Many of us, myself included, were brought up during 'The Troubles' and never fully understood the long history of division and conflict associated with it. To help make sense I'm joined by Dr. Thomas Leahy, senior lecturer in British and Irish politics, who guides us through the centuries of division, identity, and power struggles that set the stage for the Troubles.

Look out for the next 2 episodes which complete our journey through the history of the Irish Troubles.
