What does it do to do somebody when they have crossed the boundary into a world of killing and destruction? How do they enforce their code in a place untethered from the one the rest of us inhabit?
On Free State today, Joe and Dion follow on from Tuesday’s episode on Stakeknife by looking at how rules of organisations like the IRA were enforced.
Joe talks about what made his father lose faith in the republican movement.
He also accuses Dion of deference to the British Empire which leads Dion to launch a verbal attack on Joe.
