A former Catholic priest tells BBC Spotlight that he was involved in multiple IRA attacks


A former Catholic priest tells BBC Spotlight that he was involved in multiple IRA attacks including the Brighton bomb. 

A priest has admitted links to an IRA bomb attack on the Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Speaking to the BBC NI Spotlight series on the Troubles, Patrick Ryan, a former priest from Tipperary said he regretted not being 'more effective'. Stephen got reaction from TUV leader Jim Allister and Irish News security correspondent Allison Morris.

Also on the programme, teenage climate campaigner Greta Thunberg has become the poster girl of the climate change movement culminating in her impassioned speech at the UN Climate summit yesterday. Some commentators, however, have accused climate activists of exploiting Greta Thunberg. So, is she a role model for teenagers throughout the world, or is she being used by those around her? Stephen got the views of commentator Phil Kelly and Brendan O'Neill from Spiked Online.

And, a grieving Belfast dad has now launched a street 'drug awareness campaign' in a bid to prevent other families from going through the heartbreak that he and his family did. 27 year old Karl Wilgar had battled drugs for some time, but it was a short time on what’s known as 'Street Xanax', that led to his death earlier this year. His dad Michael spoke to Stephen.

All that and more on the biggest show in the country...
