One key figure in the peace protest in Northern Ireland who doesn’t get spoken about as much is David Ervine, who played a big role in the loyalist ceasefire, and had a fondness for words.

Matthew McElhinney is Director and co-writer of 'The Man Who Swallowed a Dictionary', which is focused on Ervine. It runs at the Smock Alley Theatre in Dublin from October 13th to the 24th, and he joins Seán to discuss.
