The 1948 olympics, held in London was the first games Ireland had taken part in since 1932.

However a major dispute between the Irish Olympic Council and the organising committee saw many Irish athletes barred from taking part in the Athletics competitions.

This documentary looks at the issues that caused such controversy, and we hear from the athletes who were directly affected.
