Episode 121
Sunday, 8 February, 2026
Send us a textJohn O’Brien is a retired Detective Chief Superintendent of An Garda Síochána, the national police service of Ireland. Over the course of a distinguished policing career that spanned more than 38 years, he held a succession of senior operational and strategic leadership roles. John also served as National Head of Interpol and Europol, playing a pivotal role in fostering cooperation between Irish law enforcement and international policing organisations. His assessment regarding the Mass Murder of 34 innocents on the 17 May 1974 is that the UVF — acting alone — did not possess the technical, operational, or organisational capacity to execute the Dublin car bombings. John lays out the case based on a layered accumulation of forensic findings, expert military testimony, comparisons with the UVF’s historical bombing record and analysis of the sophisticated planning required for the Dublin operation.00:00 Could the UVF have acted alone ?03:20 THE DAY OF THE B*MBINGS ??????13:25 “The Killing Years” 29:20 The B*mb Signature 47:23 EXPERT MILITARY OPINION58:20 British Strategy & Kenova 1:09:35 Did the UVF get help planning the attack1:31:00 Final Thoughts BUY JOHN'S BOOKS : https://www.jaobrien.ie/home
