How did the Troubles break out in Northern Ireland in the 1960s, and how far back does the dispute really go? Why did the conflict intensify as it did? And, what did it really mean to be a Catholic in Northern Ireland? 

Join Dominic and Tom as they discuss one of the darkest and most contentious periods of British history: The Troubles.
