Corkman receives award for tending to unclaimed Air India grave

A man who has spent the past four decades tending to the graves of the only two unclaimed victims of the 1985 Air India disaster has been honoured by an Indian cultural group.

Finbarr Archer, who is the official driver to the Lord Mayor of Cork, was working for an undertaker at the time of the terrorist attack.

All 329 passengers and crew on board Air India flight 182 were killed in June of that year, when a bomb exploded on board the aircraft, approximately 190km off the south-west coast of Ireland on route from Montreal to Delhi…

The flight, which was brought down off the coast of Cork, remains the worst aviation disaster in Irish and Canadian history.

Finbarr Archer joins Seán to discuss.
