The IRA's Poppy Day Enniskillen Bombing: A Breakthrough

Episode 6 of 6. With his investigation reaching its final stages, Mario is given a name. Could a change in the law mean a breakthrough for the Enniskillen families? On Remembrance Sunday in November 1987, an IRA bomb exploded in the Northern Irish town of Enniskillen, killing 11 people and claiming a 12th life when one of the many wounded later died. The Times’s Mario Ledwith returns to his hometown, asking who carried out these bloody murders, how the authorities failed to properly investigate and why a silence continues to surround what happened? Families of those killed have spent almost 40 years searching for justice and accountability. While ten people have been arrested by Northern Irish police in connection with the bombing, and one person was rearrested in 2016, nobody has ever been charged. Host: Mario Ledwith, news reporter at The Times.
