<description>&lt;p&gt;When the British government announced a public inquiry into the murder of Pat Finucane, the news was met with the same noises from the usual chorus.

Joe and Dion argue about what it means to speak honestly about those times. Joe accuses Dion of ‘IRAing’ and Dion wonders who Joe would actually vote for.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more on Free State: &lt;a href="https://freestatepodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://freestatepodcast.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.
