For thirty years, Denis Bradley was part of the ‘back-channel’, one of three men who provided a secret link between the IRA and the British
government. Alongside his day job as a priest, he was helping to broker high-stakes negotiations that would lead to the ceasefires and the
Belfast/Good Friday Agreement. Join Malachi O’Doherty as he talks to Denis Bradley about his extraordinary life.
Literature and the Peace Process in Northern Ireland
Marilynn Richtarik’s book Getting to Good Friday: Literature and the Peace Process in Northern Ireland describes literary reactions and contributions to the peace process during the fifteen years preceding the Agreement and in the immediate post-conflict era, demonstrating the extent to which authors sought both to comment on and to influence contemporary political developments.
