Ned Broy- The Greatest Spy Of Ireland’s Freedom Struggle?
Theme of documentary-
This 45 minute documentary investigates the heroic deeds of the forgotten Irish patriot and spy Ned Broy and explains how many of the key events in the Irish revolutionary leader Michael Collin’s successful intelligence war against the British Empire during Ireland’s struggle for independence (from 1919 to 1921), can be linked back to his ace-spy Ned Broy. While Broy was only one of a few in Collin’s spy network, nevertheless he punched way above his weight and helped Collins wrest the intelligence initiative from the British. For example: 1., he successfully smuggled Collins into the nerve-centre of British intelligence in Ireland, G-Division’s files storeroom in Brunswick station; 2., he helped mentor Collins in espionage and the G-Division mindset; 3., he passed on invaluable intelligence to Collins on a continual basis; 4., and he saved Collins from capture on several occasions. Thus, without Broy’s input, Collin’s intelligence war might never have taken the direction it did, nor been as successful.
