Breakup: Episode Three: Burned or Buried
When Ophelia Byrne goes to find out what happened when the border in Ireland was finalised nearly a century ago, a discovery in the archives makes her question the whole process
Across three episodes, Ophelia Byrne follows a line on a map into the world of the Irish Boundary Commission – set up nearly a century ago to finalise the shape of the border in Ireland. The stakes are high - but with secrecy, high statecraft, split communities and thousands of lives changed forever - a chance discovery in the archives makes Ophelia question the whole Boundary Commission process
