Remembering Children Who Died in The Troubles - with Joe Duffy & Freya McClements
from Irish Times Inside Politics · host The Irish Times
When remembering the Troubles, we tend to focus on the acts of perpetrators. But a new book focusses on the 186 children who died in the Troubles, some of whose deaths have, up to now, appeared nowhere on any list of victims. 'Children of the Troubles' is written by RTÉ's Joe Duffy and The Irish Times Northern correspondent Freya McClements. In this interview, Freya and Joe tell Hugh that, for many of the parents and loved ones left behind, time has not moved on - their losses are not "legacy issues".Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?
