Danny Boy spoilers follow.
The Battle of Danny Boy, named after a nearby vehicle checkpoint, became mired in controversy when Brian Wood, a solider in the British army, and his fellow troops were accused of the unlawful murder and torture of Iraqi civilians while on duty in 2004.
The Al-Sweady enquiry, christened after Hamid Al-Sweady, a 19-year-old Iraqi who was said to have been unlawfully killed by British forces, was launched to look into those allegations and countless others, thousands of which were brought by Phil Shiner, who was part of the Iraq Historic Abuse Team (IHAT) that looked at the treatment of Iraqi civilians by UK armed forces personnel from 2003 to July 2009.

Danny Boy, which aired on Wednesday evening, was an outstanding piece of drama, showcasing the bravery of those who served in Iraq and the inadequate care shown towards those same individuals when they returned to the UK.
Their return, in addition, was also greeted with serious allegations of murder and torture from human rights lawyers – most notably Phil Shiner, owner of Public Interest Lawyers and now a former solicitor.
