Gay Mitchell Meets - Episode 3 Brendan Halligan
Wednesday, 28 June, 2017

Gay Mitchell Meets is a series of unique interviews with prominent people in public life. These interviews go beyond the normal soundbyte and provide real analysis of issues in public affairs. Episode 3 - Brendan Halligan, former TD, MEP and Secretary of the Labour Party. He is currently chairman of the Institute of International and European Affairs. He outlines how the 1973-1977 cabinet ended up under death threat and special branch protection, how he recruited Conor Cruise O’Brien to the Labour Party and the whiskey drinking session that created a strong bong between British Prime Minister Ted Heath and Liam Cosgrave and Brendan Corish just a week before they officially took up office as Taoiseach and Tanaiste respectively.
