from From Bomb to Ballot: The History of Sinn Féin

Ten young men starve themselves to death in a prison outside Belfast. One of them – Bobby Sands – is an elected MP. Their deaths bring widespread sympathy to the Republican cause and the Provisional IRA’s little-known political wing, Sinn Féin, is bolstered by increasing electoral success. Two years later – at the height of the hottest summer on record – Gerry Adams, widely believed to be a former leader in the IRA (something he denies), is elected to Westminster. Militant Irish nationalism has gone political.All seven episodes of From Bomb to Ballot are available now.Follow us on Instagram @dmgnewmedia.Follow us on TikTok @dmgnewmediaFollow us on X @dmgnewmediaEmail us [email protected] us  020 7938 6000.Host: John LeeProducers: Artemis IrvineAssistant Producer: Sally McLennanProduction Manager: Vittoria CecchiniSound Design: John ScottScript Consultant: Liam ThompsonExecutive Producer: Bella SoamesA Daily Mail podcast.
