He was heavily involved in the negotiations which led to the brokering of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement in 1998. In this episode Eddie talks about loyalism and some of the contemporary issues, such as Brexit, which pose a challenge to the loyalist communities of Northern Ireland.

Ireland’s original independent left leaning news, politics, and culture podcast that doesn’t take itself too seriously and still punches well above its weight. Join critically acclaimed & derided hosts, Martin McMahon and Tony Groves as they delve into the news of the day, pull apart the spin and challenge you to be an activist. This is the non-corporate, ad free, non-plastic-podcast reality that the medium is made for. There will be shenanigans!
