• Best 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.

  The Dublin Child Abuse Report

  11:25 Sun, 6 Dec 09

  10 days on from the publication of the Murphy Report, which revealed a systemic cover-up of abuse by priests, why hasn't a single Catholic bishop implicated in the report resigned? Bishop Donal McKeown joins Andrew Madden, a survivor of abuse in Dublin, and commentators Michelle Marken and Brian Feeney, to assess the Catholic hierarchy's reponse to the report. Presbyterian Moderator Dr Stafford Carson says he believes the response of Ireland's Protestants should be to evangelise the Catholic Church, and diplomacy expert Sir Ivor Roberts examines the case for the expulsion of the Vatican's diplomatic representative in Ireland.

• A 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.
