About this listen

Through raw and compelling testimonies from both sides of the community, Dillon explores the overlooked perspectives of women whose lives were impacted by the brutal conflict. Some were directly involved in violence as members of paramilitary organisations. Many witnessed the ruthless murders of family members. All were profoundly and irrevocably affected by the violence and its aftermath.

Former IRA volunteers, the wife of notorious UDA Commander Stevie ‘Top Gun’ McKeag, a survivor of the 1974 Dublin bombings and the daughter of a murdered judge share their stories among many others, their words reverberating with the intensity of their experiences.

Dillon also unmasks the shadowy dealings of British intelligence and the impact of collusion on unsolved murders, exposing the layers of deception that have haunted families and communities.

The Sorrow and the Loss is an eye-opening exploration of the previously unwritten history of the Troubles, challenging listeners to confront the harsh realities of a conflict where truth and justice remain elusive.
