First Consignment: 02 – Attack

  • Summary

  • (Ep2/2). With Gadaffi’s first shipment of weapons to the IRA now landed at Shannon airport and dispersed around to hiding places, in this second and final part of this documentary series, we hear how the IRA trained on these weapons. We then travel north, to Northern Ireland where on Tuesday, November 28th 1972, the IRA carried out ten rocket attacks injuring, maiming and killing. As we complete this story, we meet with the son of the first victim to be killed by these rockets, RUC Constable Robert Keys, a 55yr old father of six who was just finishing up his night shift at Belleek RUC station in Co. Fermanagh. Narrated by Liam O’Brien and Conor Keane. Produced by Liam O’Brien. Readings were by David Nelligan and Joe Garry – with special thanks to Colin Barker, production engineer in RTÉ Limerick. (2024)
