The Good Friday Amnesty march by British Army vets in Belfast City Centre against prosecutions for Bloody Sunday, the Ballymurphy Massacre or other murders, and Saoradh's counter demonstration in support of crown victims, will be discussed by Saoradh representative, Joe Barr.

Award winning journalist and author Ed Moloney will analyze the BBC Panorama program "The Spy in the IRA" about British agent Freddie Scappaticci called the most important British spy since World War 2.

Go to Radio Free Eireann's web site rfe123.orgfor written transcripts of last week's headline making interviews with Ruan O'Donnell on America's Irish Fenian exiles and the 1916 Easter Rising and why some commemorations seem more concerned with not offending the British than honoring Irish patriots; plus author Eileen Markey on her book, Radical Faith: The Assassination of Sr Maura: , the life of Maura Clarke from the Rockaway Irish Community and daughter of an IRA Volunteer in the War of Independence to being murdered by an El Salvador death squad in 1980.
