Episode 28: The Bloodiest Day in Belfast

This week also sees the fifth anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of the Somme. Although thousands of Irishmen continue to fight in fields across Europe until the end of the war, it is the sacrifice of hundreds of Ulstermen at the Somme which is being remembered. Tara and Declan hear how the commemorations in 1921 may have helped draw fresh battlelines between nationalists and unionists in the new Northern Ireland.
