Episode 600: New IRA leader Thomas Ashe Mellon arrested after failing explosives swab at Portlaoise prison

New IRA leader Thomas Ashe Mellon found himself arrested by police over the border this week hours after he failed an explosives test when he went to visit inmates in the Republic’s high security Portlaoise Jail.


So what was Mellon doing meeting with the New IRA’s southern command with the permission of Northern Ireland’s courts and in the company of the respected Fianna Fáil TD Eamon O’Cuiv.


Nicola speaks with her colleague Allison Morris about the future of the New IRA and hopes that they may be considering a more political horizon.
