Ciontach: Martin 'The General' Cahill, duine de na coirpigh is cáiliúla i stair na hÉireann

Ba é Martin Cahill – a.k.a The General – ceann de na Crime Lords is clúití in Éirinn. Rugadh é go beo bocht, mar chuid de chlann ollmhór, i lár na cathrach i mBÁC sna 1940í. Thosaigh Martin Cahill amach i mbun mionchion agus é óg agus lean sé ar aghaidh agus phleanáil sé ceann de na robálacha ba mhó le rá i stair na tíre. Tar éis na coireachta d’fhorbair Cahill stádas mistiúil i gcultúr na hÉireann, le roinnt daoine ag féachaint air mar laoch an phobail, Baile Átha Cliath bocht ó dhúchas. Ó maraíodh é sa bhliain 1994, spreag saol agus coireanna Martin Cahill leabhair, scannáin, agus tuairimíocht gan stad – the criminal whose life became the stuff of legend and infamy. Is é scéal Martin bunús scéal an scannán ‘The General’, agus an scannán 2000 ‘Ordinary Decent Criminal’ le Kevin Spacey agus Colin Farrell. Labhraíonn Róisín Ní Mhaoláin le Tessa Fleming leis an coirpeach is cluití in Éirinn a phlé.

The Wayne McCullough Interview | 30 years on, a world title journey of glory & despair

30 years ago this month, Wayne McCullough took the road less travelled, and took home the world title. The Belfast native dethroned Nagoya’s local champion Yasuei Yakushiji in front of a partisan Japanese crowd, capturing the feted WBC belt he'd spent a childhood dreaming of during The Troubles. That win in July '95 came off the back of a decorated amateur career which spanned two Olympics. Indeed, after what proved to be his much-publicised decision to carry the Irish tricolour in Seoul, he secured a stunning silver medal at the Barcelona games. By the end of that decade, he was in the midst of a run of box-office world title fights as a pro, headlining shows either side of the Atlantic. Wayne was in with the best, on the biggest stages.  Around the height of his career, however, he suffered a serious mental health crisis, at one point attempting to take his own life. Later in this podcast, he speaks with great candour about difficulties he faced at that time, the descriptions of which may not be suitable for some listeners. For anyone affected, Samaritans’ freephone number is 116 123; they are contactable day and night. Ultimately though, and as you'll hear, Wayne’s is a most unique story of triumph through adversity, and one which we mark on today's episode of Indo Sport 🎧 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
