    An extract of a book about the febrile political atmosphere within RTE news and current affairs in the 1970s/80s - Brian Hanley and Scott Millar The Lost Revolution:The Story of the Official IRA and Workers’ Party

    Extract here

    Facinating stuff and bound to be much discussed in the meeja in the next few weeks.

    Tbh, while the specifics may be new, the story itself is not.

    Funny that Eoghan Harris was in in 30s when he was styling himself as a Marxist-Leninist. He can hardly claim now that he was a misguided "youth".
