Veil of Silence: How the Irish State Covered Up an IRA Murder & Framed a Garda Whistleblower

O’Sullivan was the special branch detective who recruited Corcoran as an informer, and he believes there has been a huge cover-up of garda involvement in Corcoran’s murder at the highest level. J.P. has written a book about it called 'Veil of Silence', and joins Pat to discuss.

While a ten-day ceasefire has been agreed to by Lebanon and Israel, the humanitarian situation is still deteriorating, with more than a million people displaced and critical infrastructure under strain. On the ground, overcrowded shelters are becoming flashpoints of a different kind of crisis, where access to basic care, particularly for older people and those with disabilities, is increasingly out of reach. What’s emerging is not just a story of conflict, but of a system struggling to cope with the scale and complexity of human need. Sally Hayden, award-winning journalist with The Irish Times, joins Pat to discuss.
