When Trevor Birney was arrested by the PSNI in 2018, he was thrown in a police cell and told an incredible tale. His documentary No Stone Unturned had named the man many believed was responsible for the Loughinisland Massacre in 1994. Birney was told by the police that this man's business was being damaged by the documentary and for this reason they could charge him with breaching the Official Secrets Act. On Free State today, Trevor Birney tells the story of how he fought the law and won. He talks too about the day a brave former tabloid journalist from London told him he had seen the future and its name was Kneecap. He looks forward to another contentious project, a movie about Saipan and recalls a day with Roy Keane when it became clear he wouldn't make a film.Miss Part 1 of our conversation with Trevor Birney?

On the evening of June 18, 1994, Ireland stopped. At the Giants Stadium in New York, Ireland were playing Italy in the first match of the World Cup. Across the country, people were making plans to watch the game.In The Heights Bar in Loughinisland Co Down, the small community had gathered on a Saturday evening with the added excitement of the game. In Belfast and other places there were fears of sectarian killings, but not in Loughinisland. In Loughinisland, the Troubles were something that happened somewhere else. On this night it happened here. With eyes on the game, nobody noticed the UVF killers walking in to The Heights Bars. Six men were murdered that night, the oldest of them 87 years old.On Free State today, Joe and Dion are joined by Trevor Birney to talk about the state collusion that was part of that massacre and his documentary No Stone Unturned, which led to a dawn raid on his house from the PSNI one summer morning.Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.For more on Free State: https://freestatepodcast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

On 18th June 1994, Catholic pubgoers in Loughinisland, County Down, were watching a World Cup match when a loyalist paramilitary group burst in and murdered six civilians, wounding five others. To this day, no-one has been charged for the crime. Produced by journalists Trevor Birney and Barry McCaffrey, No Stone Unturned (2017) told the story of the massacre, revealing how the police had colluded in protecting the gunmen. When the film disclosed anonymous documents identifying the murder suspects, the Northern Irish police service (PSNI) arrested Trevor and Barry—and both of their homes were raided by armed police—to discover the source of the leak. Last December, a tribunal found that the PSNI and Met police also unlawfully spied on both journalists, long before the film was even produced. They join Alan and Lionel to tell their extraordinary story, and ask: could other journalists in the UK be under surveillance by the authorities?To read more about Northern Ireland's police spying scandal, head to www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/crime-and-justice/68906/northern-irelands-police-spying-scandal Hosted on Acast.

On June 18th 1994 while watching Ireland play in the World Cup, 6 completely innocent men were slaughtered by a loyalist paramilitary gunman who sprayed the bar with an assault rifle in an act of cold blooded sectarianism.  Trevor Birney's book, "Shooting Crows" tells the storey of this tragic event, the hatred and bitterness that provide the basis for it, the history of loyalist collusion with various security forces branches, the arms shipment that the weapons came in on and the members of the 3 man team who committed the heinous m*rders. The book also has a personal element for Trevor as he experienced firsthand some of the breaches of his press freedoms by the PSNI following the airing of a film about the Loughlinisland massacre that Trevor was involved in. I'll be doing a Q&A episode soon so please drop any questions in the comment section below or email me at thegoodlistenerpodcast@gmail.com TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro 5:45 LOUGHLINISLAND MASSACRE 18:00 History of Loyalists attacking civilian targets 24:00 “Collusion” and Brian Nelson 28:40 Extreme-loyalists 32:40 Police Ombudsman Reports into the massacre 43:35 PSNI investigate Trevor PLEASE HELP OUT THE SHOW IF YOU CAN SPARE IT..

Loughinisland is a small parish in Co. Down. Its name has become synonymous with the infamous Loughinisland Massacre, when six were killed by the UVF in a pub while watching Ireland play Italy in the 1994 World Cup. Trevor Birney helped make a documentary about the murders – but in 2018, he was arrested by PSNI over material used in the film, alongside his colleague Barry Mccaffrey. Six years later, they're at the center of a major tribunal against the authorities over keeping surveillance of local Journalists. He joins Ciarán Dunbar. Hosted on Acast.

On the morning of August 31st, 2018, award-winning film producer Trevor Birney was arrested at his home in Belfast while the PSNI searched the house as his bewildered family looked on.They were searching, they said, for documents used in his powerful documentary, No Stone Unturned, that examined the 1994 Loughinisland massacre when the UVF shot six men dead as they watched the Ireland v Italy football match in a village bar.That film unmasked in unflinching detail the collusion between the security forces in Northern Ireland and loyalist paramilitaries and it's a controversial subject Birney has returned to in this new book, Shooting Crows.The book's title refers to the comments of the judge granting the warrant to raid Birney's home, who worried that it was an exercise in scaring off other journalists.It set Birney on a path to prove historic and ongoing attempts by British authorities to silence journalists, film-makers, lawyers and activists in the North and to uncover surveillance and bugging operations.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Declan Conlon and John Casey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an tríú lá de mhí Lúnasa. Is mise Gráinne Ní Bhrosnacháin. Tá na Cluichí Oilimpeacha ar siúl faoi láthair i bPárás na Fraince. Bhuaigh an snámhaí as Contae Shligigh Mona McSharry an chéad bhonn ag snámh sna cluichí le tríocha bliain. Bhain sí bonn cré-umha amach sa snámh brollaigh 100 méadar. Bhain an snámhaí ó Ard Mhacha Daniel Wiffen curiarracht le bonn óir a bhuachtaint. Sa snámh ocht céad méadair saorstíle, ba é an chéad fhear Éireannach a bhuaigh bonn ag snámh sa chomórtas. Bhuaigh sé an rás san am is tapúla le seacht noiméad, tríocha a hocht soicind punc a naoi déag. Níl Wiffen críochnaithe fós mar tá rás míle cúig chéad saorstíle aige agus rás deich ciliméadar le bheith ar siúl sa tSéin. Tá ag éirí go maith linn sa rámhaíocht chomh maith, bhuaigh Philip Doyle ó Chontae an Dúin agus Daire Lynch ó Thiobraid Árann bonn cré-umha sa chomórtas céaslaire beirte. Ansin bhí bua iontach ag Paul O'Donovan agus Fintan McCarthy ó Sciobairín i gContae Chorcaí ag an gcluiche ceannais 2000 méadar, comórtas céaslaire beirte éadrom. Bhíodar imithe chun cinn tar éis na líne leathbhealaigh agus dheineadar a mbeart an bonn óir a bhaint amach. Tá ceann de na báid is sine ar domhan, an Belem, ag seoladh timpeall na hÉireann. Is bád traenála é inniu ach is bád ana-stairiúil é atá 120 bliain d'aois. Tógadh an bád sa bhliain 1896 agus bád lastais ab ea é ag iompar siúcra ó na hIndiacha Thiar agus ag easpórtáil cócó agus caife ón mBrasaíl agus ón nGuáin na Fraince go Nantes sa Fhrainc. Sa bhliain 1902 tháinig an bád slán ó bholcán ag brúchtadh in Martinique agus ó chrith talún sa bhliain 1923 in Yokohama sa tSeapáin. Inniu is bád traenála é do mhairnéalaigh. Thug an bád an lasair Oilimpeach ar an gcéad turas ón nGréig go Marseille. Tá an bád ag iompar criú de 16 agus 48 duine faoi oiliúint. D'fhógair Acadamh Scannán agus Teilifíse na hÉireann go bhfuil an scannán Gaeilge Kneecap curtha ar aghaidh don rannóg idirnáisiúnta do Dhuais an Acadaimh sna Stáit Aontaithe sa bhliain 2025.

Tá aisteoirí mór le rá páirteach sa scannán ar nós Michael Fassbender agus Simone Kirby.

Six years on and their dogged determination has revealed a spying network that has monitored hundreds of journalists, solicitors and (Left Leaning?) NGO's.

Journalism used to be regarded as the foundation of a civilised society and an essential part of the democratic process. But in the age of social media, has news journalism been democratised, creating a new plurality of reporting and opinion? Are we witnessing the healthy overturning of a system run by a metropolitan elite for far too long? Or are the moral rules of journalism dying and expectations of objectivity and fairness being replaced by a toxic digital fog of instant comment, rumour, cynicism and outright lies? Is this a danger to democracy or just entertaining political theatre? Is it pluralism or anarchy? Presenter Audrey Carville in conversation with Dr Orna Young of FactCheckNI, journalist and film maker Trevor Birney and Mark Little, former RTÉ Washington correspondent and founder of the social media newswire Storyful.

The BBC in Northern Ireland has begun a legal process to establish whether a senior journalist was subjected to alleged police surveillance. Trevor Birney journalist and filmmaker discusses the investigation.

Way back in 2019, Episode 126, we took the tortoise shack up to Belfast to talk with award winning documentary makers and investigative journalists, Trevor Birney and Barry McCaffrey, who were then under pre-trial arrest for the "crime" of looking into the Loughinisland massacre of 1994. Little did we (or they) know that what their battle for the truth would uncover police surveillance of journalists at a level that would be associated with many a autocratic regime. Barry and Trevor rejoined us to bring us up to date and sound the alarm on the anti-democratic policing of journalism within the PSNI. They have, as the kids say, kept the receipts.

"Sean Quinn knows exactly what he did but chooses not to understand.

This panel is made up of renowned American documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney (Enron: the Smartest Guys in the Room, No Stone Unturned), Barry McCaffrey (Journalist, No Stone Unturned), Sean Murray (Unquiet Graves), Kathryn Johnstone (NUJ) and panel moderator Susan McKay (Writer & Journalist). Having been through arrest, questioning, hearings, bail and seizure of work related materials in recent days, documentary filmmakers Trevor Birney and Barry McCaffrey have been released from police bail. This decision represents a victory for the journalists and press freedom campaigners and a humiliating climbdown for police. The authorities will now face fresh pressure to find the Loughinisland murderers, the subject of the documentary at the heart of the issue in the film ‘No Stone Unturned’. Documentarian Sean Murray, worked with relatives of victims, local campaign groups and journalist Ann Cadwallader, writer of ‘Lethal Allies: British Collusion in Ireland’ to produce the detailed and brilliant documentary ‘Unquiet Graves’. Murray’s film gives an indepth account of the workings of the ‘Glenanne Gang’ responsible for scores of murders during the Troubles, who also feature in Gibney’s ‘No Stone Unturned’.
