On Episode 2 of The Booket List, Eoghan speaks to Stockholm based journalist, Philip O’Connor. 

Phil has chosen ‘Borstal Boy’ by Brendan Behan. The book outlines Behan’s time spent in the youth detention centres in England in the late 1930’s for his involvement in the IRA.

The conversation dives into the Irish struggle for independence. We talk about Irish nationalism today, how Brexit will impact reunification, and Phil’s opinions on Irish society.
