Whether as Deputy First Minister, Chief Negotiator Sinn Féin, MLA, MP or IRA Volunteer, Martin McGuinness has undoubtedly had a huge impact on the politics of peace and conflict on our island. Almost a year after his death, in the wake of all the tributes and plaudits, Cloch le Carn will look at Martin McGuinness’ life journey, focusing on aspects that highlight and reflect the light and shade, the context and complexity of the political forces at play.
Who was the real Martin McGuinness? - The Peacemaker; the other "Chuckle Brother" to his former political adversary Rev Ian Paisley; The Deputy First Minister who was central to making the power sharing executive work for as long as it did; The Chief Negotiator with an ability to lead and bring with him the majority of the republican/nationalist community in a journey away from violence towards a hard won and fragile peace.
Or was McGuinness the hard-line IRA commander; the butcher’s apprentice from the Bogside who took up arms to defend his community in the face of systemic civil rights abuse and sectarian state violence?
Craolfar Cloch le Carn Déardaoin, 15 Márta ag 7.00 i.n ar RTÉ One.
