Men beaten and tied to landmines before being blown up. Scores settled by a hardened group of killers, labelled the ‘Murder Gang’ by their opponents. A pro-government death squad that kept killing even though the Civil War had ended. Ireland, a hundred years ago. Dirty War in Dublin tells this story and reveals how the Murder Gang had their origins among men who were central to the IRA’s fight against the British.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/16735357/image0_ih9dpc.jpeg","podcastShareLogo":null,"podcastUrl":"https://kevinbrannigan.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":false,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/kevinbrannigan/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-4u4sd-ff5c7d?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":31,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT+01:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":1,"text":"(GMT+01:00) Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna","daylightStartTime":"Last Sunday of March +1 Hours","daylightEndTime":"Last Sunday Of October +1 Hours","timezone":"Europe/London"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":4,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"kevinbrannigan","enableEngagementStats":false,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-4u4sd-ff5c7d-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-4u4sd-ff5c7d?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#8fc31f"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

The war is over, but the killing goes on. A republican is kidnapped in broad daylight from a Dublin street, his battered body not found until months later. An IRA spy in the army is murdered. An unarmed Kerry Anti-Treatyite is shot dead by soldiers. But this time there are consequences for some of those involved.
