Customer Reviews
Essential listening
Fantastic show, essential listening for anybody interested in Irish politics and history
Too long. Not enough research.
The Arm Trials lacked evidence and the Gunplot Podcast lacks research.
Despite access to Charles Haughey’s son we get very little information about the truth.
As far as the makers are concerned, no Haughey information means no Haughey guilt.
Haughey fanboys and Haughey apologists. The makers remind me of the “Bring Back Charlie” brigade of the mid-nineties.
There are none so blind as those that refuse to see.
Arms trial.
Damning criticism by Des O’Malley in Sunday Independent. Any response?
