OUT OF THE TUNNEL: A 50-YEAR BATTLE FOR JUSTICE
ST MARY’S UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, FALLS ROAD
Tortured and framed by Gardaí and jailed for nearly three years over the Sallins Train Robbery, journalist and screenwriter Osgur Breatnach has spent a half-century fighting to clear his name and expose a secret state policy of torture and cover-ups. He talks to Miriam O’Callaghan about his life: his human rights work, torture by the Heavy Gang, MI6, a sleeping judge, jailtime, and his fight for truth and justice.
Free event. No booking required.
Organised by Féile an Phobail Debates and Discussions Committee
AG DUL ÉALÚ ON TOLLÁ: 50 BLIAIN AG LORG CEART AGUS CÓIR

Rinne na Gardaí céasadh air, chroch siad é agus chuir siad i bpríosún é ar feadh beagnach trí bliana mar gheall ar Robáil Traenach sna Solláin. Chaith an t-iriseoir agus an scríbhneoir scripte, Osgur Breatnach, caoga bliain ag iarraidh a ainm a ghlanadh agus polasaí rúnda an stáit de chéasadh agus d’fhorcheilt a thabhairt chun solais.
Beidh sé ag caint le Miriam O’Callaghan faoina shaol, faoina obair um chearta an duine, faoin chéasadh a rinne an Heavy Gang air, faoi MI6, faoi bhreitheamh a thit ina chodladh, faoin am a chaith sé i bpríosún agus faoi throid chun ceart agus cóir a bhaint amach. Náisiúnachas Tubaisteach: Luathlaethanta an fhaisisteachais nua.
Imeacht saor in aisce. Ní bheidh áirithint ar bith de dhíth.
