Description

On 18 June 1994, UVF members burst into a local pub in Loughinisland Co. Down and fired on the customers, killing six and wounding five others. The investigation failed to catch the killers. Journalist Trevor Birney helped make the documentary ‘No Stone Unturned’ about the murders but was arrested in 2018 for breaching the Official Secrets Act. After six years of hell, this week Birney and fellow producer Barry McCaffery have now won a major tribunal against the authorities, which stated the PSNI did in fact act unlawfully in their attempt to unmask their sources for the documentary. Host; Fionnán Sheahan, Guest; Trevor Birney
