Fantastic interview about a very sad period.

I remember when this happened. I used to buy the Los Angeles times every Sunday for the crossword puzzle, and there was an article about the Poyntzpass shooting. My Grandma was from Poyntzpass and her uncle Michael Canavan owned the Railway Bar. She went to the USA in the 1920s. It's amazing and heart rending to see my relatives and to feel their pain from so many years and miles away. God bless you Brian Canavan and family, My grandma died in her 90s just before this happened thank God. Her Catholic mother had friends who were orange and there wasn't any trouble in Poyntzpass back then in the 1920s. By

If we don't unite the island and close our open boarders there will be little of either one of our cultures. Nationalistic or unionist.

Best documentary i have seen yet about this murder, 11:20 in the background there is a silver Toyota Twincam, XIB 3771 it think is the registration, i always wondered did it belong to Phillip or Damien as it was parked outside the pub, i had one myself at that time and this double murder really shook the country bad when two friends from both sides of the community were murdered.

Yeah they'd never be capable of such an act

@@deanodog3667 It's not a mater of capability. It's the reality of what happened and how. The liklihood of MI5 conducting such action in that part of the world in that time period are next to laughable. What makes you think it would be MI5?
