Talk Back Message Board

...So, I want to congratulate the Dublin Diocese, and especially Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, and the Government of the Republic of Ireland for creating, facilitating and supporting the Murphy Commission that compiled the report on the abuse and the cover up, and put it into the public domain...

Stuart Bailie

...I was never big into the Cocteau Twins. The music had its merits, but the hair was silly and the fans were tiresome. A little higher up the food chain than Cure fans, but they still had that talent for self-absorption...

  • Podcast artwork for Best of TalkbackBest of Talkback

    Talkback was Northern Ireland's first news phone-in programme and has been on air for more than 20 years. For many years it was a sounding board for the public to react and comment on the sectarian violence of the troubles and the development of the peace process. Today the agenda reflects the changing shape of Northern Ireland - topics like anti-social behaviour, hospital cleanliness and devolution issues are now high on the agenda. It is presented by Wendy Austin, one of NI's best known broadcasters.

    12:24 Thu, 3 Dec 09

    The Assembly's health committee will urge Health Minister Michael McGimpsey to bring back the matron, after concerns were raised recently about hygiene standards in hospitals. And why does the Department of Health not publish mortality rates in Northern Ireland. Also was it the chuckle brother image or standing side by side with the Chief Constable after the dissident murders that put Martin McGuiness on top of the Belfast Telegraph poll.

  • Podcast artwork for A Short History of IrelandA Short History of Ireland

    In 1939 a divided Ireland held her breath on the brink of the Second World War. Almost a quarter of a century later she swayed on the edge of a fresh conflict - Terence O’Neill was the new Prime Minister of Northern Ireland and the Troubles were just around the corner. What happened in the years between these two great turning points? In 60 episodes, 'A Short History of Ireland' brings the events, the leading characters and the ordinary people to life. The series is written by Dr. Jonathan Bardon and is a continuation of his 240 part 'A Short History of Ireland' for BBC Radio Ulster. The narrators are Cherrie McIlwaine, Patrick FitzSymons, Sean Crummey and Dr. Jonathan Bardon.
