First Consignment: 01 – Airlift

(Ep1/2) In the summer of 1972, Libya’s Colonel Gaddafi made an approach to the Provisional IRA with an offer of weapons. This was to become the first modern weaponry the IRA got access to. The first shipment of arms landed in Ireland in late 1972, a shipment that few, even to this day, are aware of. More than fifty years after all of this took place we finally tell a story that has never been told before. In this first part of a two part documentary, we follow these weapons from their point of manufacture in Russia, through to their arrival on Irish soil. (Part 1 of 2) Narrated by Liam O’Brien and Conor Keane. Produced by Liam O’Brien. Readings were by David Nelligan and Joe Garry – with special thanks to Colin Barker, production engineer in RTÉ Limerick. (2024)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Invisible Men - Ireland's Incels

Paul – not his real name – is in his thirties, and he has never had a sexual or romantic relationship. He goes to work and gets on with his colleagues but nobody knows the life of quiet despair that he lives. Nobody knows that he is an ‘incel’. Incels – or involuntary celibates - are men who define themselves as people who cannot find anybody to have a romantic or sexual relationship with, despite wanting one. Incels hang out on the darker fringes of the Internet, commiserating with each other and venting about women and society. It is a deeply misogynistic space, filled with hate speech. It is also filled with loneliness and sadness. Incels, especially in Ireland, rarely speak to the media but we delve into the world of inceldom and discover what the world looks like through their eyes. Warning: This documentary contains adult themes, discusses offensive themes, violence and suicide that could be upsetting or triggering for some people, so please take care. Narrated by Alan Bradley. Produced by Alan Bradley and Nicoline Greer (2024) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Skyhope

In 1977, a giant ship named Skyhope paid a visit to the west Kerry village of Baile na nGall or Ballydavid. The ship was calling into the village on the promise of a few pints having helped out some local fishermen.

But ultimately, the visit took a turn for the worst, resulting in an incident no one could have imagined... Narrated by Sinéad Ní Uallacháin. Produced by Ronan Kelly.
