Irish History Podcast · A Conspiracy of Fear & Silence: The Maamtrasna Murders · 3 Jun 2026 podcast

And then if we move on to the actual case, you know, I think if this was happening today, we would expect a very clear motive set out that they had acted in the way they did, because of very clear motives, and then there would be very specific detail laid out as to what had happened on the night in question. podcast-host

I might ask you first, do the prosecution lay out podcast-host

A motive and then second there is a bit of an issue podcast-host

as to the accounts presented about what happened on the night in question at the house, about who actually entered the house, who stayed outside, 'cause obviously that would create issues around who actually committed the murders. podcast-host

If you were outside, you clearly couldn't have done it. podcast-host

But what I'm getting at, I suppose, more generally is this is not what we'd call a watertight case. podcast-host

A pivotal moment in the trial is that some of the accused turn Queen's evidence very podcast-host

I suppose controversial thing to do in rural Ireland at the time. podcast-host

What is the impact that this has on the case? podcast-host

Obviously podcast-host

You know, you've got people who are accused now saying that they're going to testify as to what happened. podcast-host

Do they podcast-host

admit they were there in the night and say, Yes, I was there and this is what happened. podcast-host

Do they strengthen the prosecution case by doing this? podcast-host

I can imagine in just for someone reading it, it would be quite convincing evidence. podcast-host

It's probably worth as well pointing out that obviously capital punishment is on the table here and there's a s huge incentive for someone to make a deal with the prosecution. podcast-host

But maybe the trials happen one by one. podcast-host

One of them really stands out and has, for want of a better term, kind of lasted the test of time and came to national attention in recent years. podcast-host

And that's the case of Miles Joyce. podcast-host

And he in so many ways embodies the injustice around this trial. podcast-host
