Siege and Injustice
Update: 2025-10-09
Description
This episode of the Irish History Boys explores two significant and controversial events that unfolded in 1975, beginning with the curious, unsanctioned kidnapping of Dr.Tiede Herrema, a Dutch industrialist, in County Limerick by rogue IRA members.
The kidnappers, led by Eddie Gallagher, sought the release of Republican prisoners like Rose Dugdale, leading to a massive, internationally covered siege.
Simultaneously, an infamous trial was concluding across the water regarding the 1974 Guildford and Woolwich pub bombings.
