Terence McKeever left his home in Ballsbridge in Dublin shortly after 6.30am on June 16th, 1986. His daily commute in his distinctive bronze-coloured BMW took him to work in his family's electrical services firm in Armagh. But on that day, he never arrived.His body was found dumped in a river following an anonymous phone-call to the RUC in south Armagh at 10.45am.The IRA took responsibility for the murder of the young businessman, saying he had been killed because his company, McKeever Brothers, did work for the British security services. It also warned contractors doing similar work that they had 24 hours to stop if they wanted to avoid a similar fate.An investigation on both sides of the Border was launched but it was hampered by the loss of key evidence.Forty years later, Terence's sister Karen is still searching for answers to her brother's murder.Irish Times Ireland and Britain editor Mark Hennessy traces the story of the brutal killing. He explains the failures in the investigation and the questions police on both sides of the Border have still to answer.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Declan Conlon and Andrew McNair.

Rebels flying high after Donegal winThe Echo Sport Podcast crew is back to discuss another bumper weekend of Cork GAA action.Now in its fourth season, the podcast sees the Echo team discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field. In the wake of Saturday's incredible All-Ireland SFC win over Donegal, Denis Hurley is joined by Barry O'Mahony and John Horgan.Going in as outsiders in the round 2A clash in Ballybofey, Cork were given little chance of taking the direct route to the quarter-finals, especially when they trailed at half-time, but a flurry of two-pointers swung the game the way of John Cleary's men.All things considered, Barry O'Mahony reckons that it was the county's biggest football championship win since the 2010 All-Ireland, with the county board's decision to sanction a flight to Derry vindicated.Cork now have the luxury of a gap until the quarter-finals at the end of June, with the round 3 fixtures this weekend set to eliminate four of Monaghan, Westmeath, Donegal, Dublin, Kerry, Armagh, Mayo and Meath. Waiting along with Cork for the last-eight ties in Croke Park are Galway, Louth and Derry, underlining the sense that it is the most open football championship in years.In the recent past, Cork have been guilty of following a good result with a poor one and the challenge now is to change that record and reach a semi-final, something that has not happened since 2012.That year, both the Cork hurlers and footballers made the last four of their respective championships and the hurlers can complete the first leg of such a double this Sunday if they beat Offaly in the All-Ireland SHC quarter-final in Thurles.Despite the expected absences of Tommy O'Connell and Tim O'Mahony, Cork will be strong favourites to get the better of the Faithful County, though Offaly did impress in qualifying from the Leinster round-robin.Notwithstanding Limerick's defeat to Dublin last year, the panel expect Cork to respond strongly to the Munster SHC loss to the Shannonsiders. Also in action this weekend are Keith Ricken's minor football side, who take on Derry as they seek to build on an impressive campaign to date.While the minor hurlers lost their semi-final to Tipperary, it was their seventh championship game and laid a foundation for the further development of the players involved.You can listen at https://www.echolive.ie/podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.a Hosted on Acast.

Armagh man and GAA president Jarlath Burns is ea aoi na seachtaine seo ar an bpodchraoladh. What role does culture and GAA play in reconciliation? How can we bridge the gaps in our societies with sport and what does it mean to be an Ulster man? Na ceisteanna seo agus tuilleadh á phlé ag Uachtarán an CLG. In October 2025, BBC NI published a podcast series, Borderland, that tackled the question of Irish unity. While the series explored both sides of the argument on the question of unity, there was one clear agreement. It's time for the south to seriously engage with the Northern question if there is to be any real debate on the possibility of a united Ireland. Notre Dame University are also running a major research project investigating the constitutional future of Ireland called ARINS (Analysing and Researching Ireland North and South) that probs these questions.   This limited series in an answer to this work and looks to further the conversation amongst ordinary young people in the south. Shockingly, only 22% of southerners have made repeat trips north of the border so what do we really know about life in the North? What would a United Ireland look like? Is it something we really want? What does a modern Ireland for all look like? What are the concessions we would have to make and can we make them? This series looks to engage with the question of the North beyond the romantic notions ask practical questions of the south. How do we go about building a united Ireland for all?

Stephen McCullagh (36) thought he had created a cast iron alibi for himself when he planned the murder of his pregnant girlfriend Natalie McNally (32) in December 2022.An avid gamer he was, he claimed, at home playing a video game live at the time she was killed. But as the PSNI was able to prove, he had in fact pre-recorded hours of himself playing the game. Police found that when he hit “play”, he set off to his girlfriend's house in Armagh where he savagely murdered her.The case against McCullagh was built on circumstantial evidence, so for Natalie's devastated family, conviction was not certain.Seanín Graham is Northern Correspondent of The Irish Times and she was in court in Belfast for the trial.She tells In the News she has never before witnessed such emotional scenes in court as when the guilty verdict was handed down on Monday.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, March 17, is the Memorial of St. Patrick, a bishop chosen by God 1.500 years ago to preach His glory by bringing Christianity to Ireland, a little country which would be converted from their pagan gods to the one true God.Today, Irishmen venerate him as their father in the Faith.Sf. Patrick was born about 385 in the British Isles. In Roman Britain, when he was 16, while he was tending his sheep, Irish raiders captured him and sold him into slavery. Six years later, he escaped to Europe, became a monk, and was ordained; he then returned to Ireland to preach the Gospel.During the thirty years of missionary work, he covered the Island with churches and monasteries and founded the metropolitan see of Armagh.Many legends are associated with St. Patrick: how he drove the snakes out of Ireland and how he used the shamrock to teach the mystery of the Trinity.Ireland, although a small country, played a large role in spreading the true faith to the world. During the early Dark Ages, and while Europe remained in darkness, the Irish monasteries preserved Western writingsIn his autobiography, Confessions, written in true humility, St. Patrick said,“I am greatly God's debtor, because he granted me so much grace, that through me many people would be reborn in God.”Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

The Troubles may be over, but the legacy lives on, as ongoing legal cases revive past incidents, but one area that has continued to capture the imagination of those interested in this period of British and Irish history is Bandit Country.

Toby Harnden joins today as we talk about his book, published in 1999 but republished recently and the seminal account of the South Armagh Brigade of the IRA throughout the Troubles.
