Stephen Sackur speaks to Kieran Conway, the former director of intelligence for the IRA about his time in the organisation and how he justifies his involement.

HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur speaks to Kieran Conway, the former director of intelligence for the IRA. He joined the group in 1970 and was part of a unit in England which engaged in armed robbery to help fund the organisation.

He spent time in prison in Northern Ireland and soon after his release in 1974 was put in charge of IRA intelligence. Just weeks later bombs planted by the IRA killed 21 people in two pubs in Birmingham, England. Stephen asks about what he knows about those responsible for the bombings and how he justifies his past.
