This 45 minute radio documentary is named
Ned Broy- The Greatest Spy Of Ireland’s Freedom Struggle?
Theme of documentary-
This 45 minute documentary investigates the heroic deeds of the forgotten Irish patriot and spy Ned Broy and explains how many of the key events in the Irish revolutionary leader Michael Collin’s successful intelligence war against the British Empire during Ireland’s struggle for independence (from 1919 to 1921), can be linked back to his ace-spy Ned Broy. While Broy was only one of a few in Collin’s spy network, nevertheless he punched way above his weight and helped Collins wrest the intelligence initiative from the British. For example: 1., he successfully smuggled Collins into the nerve-centre of British intelligence in Ireland, G-Division’s files storeroom in Brunswick station; 2., he helped mentor Collins in espionage and the G-Division mindset; 3., he passed on invaluable intelligence to Collins on a continual basis; 4., and he saved Collins from capture on several occasions. Thus, without Broy’s input, Collin’s intelligence war might never have taken the direction it did, nor been as successful.

Without this wonderful mans help Mick Collins could not have achieved as much as he did.

A very nice piece. Broy's contribution has not been ignored, but has been under-acknowledged, especially when compared to David Neligan. Well done to all involved in this.

You mean he helped murder more of his friends and colleagues for his 30 pieces of silver?

"An Ireland free for Unionists and Protestants who'd been ethnically cleansed?"
Well that claim is bollocks, for a start...
If 'twere true, neither my aunt or uncle, both staunch members of the Church of Ireland, would ever have existed...
Anyone who claims that the Irish Free State was "A totalitarian state where everyone was the same..." is not even remotely close to reality...

A great man who risked his life..I bow down to him ..what a honour to know of his existance..

[@shinner65]

Did him a bit of an injustice in the Michael Collins film when they showed him shot by Free Staters and dumped in the Liffey. Dramatic license gone too far.

[@leeleef]

That was Harry Boland

[@JohnBoylan-r3t]

That wasn't Ned broy, it was Harry Boland in the Liffey and that was right either.

[@barryscaping984]

The man who laid the foundation for modern Eire, often overlooked.

[@MrLorenzovanmatterho]

A monster, plain and simple.

[@MrLorenzovanmatterho]

A disgusting sectarian nightmare where the parliament full of murderers discriminated against Unionists.

Ned Broy, Michael Collins and all of those many great HEROES were prepared to sacrifice. They were prepared to sacrifice everything, including their very lives.
The men of today will not even attend a march or protest against the theft and destruction of our country, our babies, our elderly, our health and the whole future of the Irish race.
For what died the sons of Róisín???

IN THE FILM MICHAEL Collins BROY WAS KILLED IN Reality HE Wasn't 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@MrBagpipes]

You are right. In reality Ned Broy fingered British agents for execution then lived to a ripe old age. Great isn't it!? 😂

[@leeleef]

I think it showed him being hanged and tortured, but I'm not sure there was an actual reference of him dying
