Subscribers can listen to all nine parts, but for those of you not yet signed up, here's an extract from part one.

It's July 25th, Ipswich Crown Court.

Three of Ireland's most notorious criminals flicker onto the courtroom screens from prisons across England.

Thomas Bommer-Cavanagh appears on Zoom from Belmarsh Prison, looking surprisingly tanned and trim in a dark grey T-shirt.

Beside him on the screen is lieutenants Gary Flash Vickery and Daniel Canning appear from other prisons, fidgeting in their seats.

In contrast, Kavanagh sits bolt upright with arms folded across his chest and listens intently in an interview room with bathroom blue walls.

As a female prison guard nips in and out of Kavanagh's interview room, the exasperated judge, Justice Martin Levitt, stops proceedings to scold, we'll just wait for Belmarsh to stop coming in and out of the room because it's interrupting us yet again.

Over the morning there are various arguments set out by wigged barristers who call each other my learned friend in clipped British accents.

But the outcome is clear.
