Anna Joyce analyses the latest episode of RTÉ s essential podcast series, GunPlot - listen above, and read more below.
For the past four weeks, RTÉ s
Documentary On One has guided listeners through the muddy waters of Ireland’s most notorious political scandal: the Arms Crisis. The theme of episode four is Muzzy and before you violently start flicking through a dictionary muzzy refers to being confused or blurred.
This week, we will hop from London to New York and finally to Hamburg in search of arms to get this gun plot off the ground. However, there is no click and collect option for a shipment of weaponry, at least not in 1969, so buckle up as things are about to get complicated….. From contradictory accounts, to a rendezvous with MI5, multiple false identities and a cameo appearance from a thriller writer, things will indeed get a tad muzzy .

Former taoiseach Bertie Ahern has said if the gun importation plot that led to the arms trial in 1970 had not been exposed, events in the North might have taken on a different, perhaps less violent, course.
Mr Ahern also said that if the events had not occurred, Charles Haughey would probably have become Fianna Fáil leader much earlier than late 1979 and would have ensured a general election was not called in 1973, a full year before the end of that government’s term.
