The Official IRA’s ‘training’ trip to North Korea

  • Résumé

  • North Korea is one of the world’s most secretive states – known for its dictators who are treated like gods and an iron-clad grip on their citizens. Back in 1988, six members of the Official IRA made their way to North Korea to receive state of the art training – some were expelled from the country after a drunken brawl. The unusual alliance came as secretary general of the Irish Workers Party, Sean Garland, allegedly laundered millions of fake dollars for the Kim dynasty.

    Olivia Peden is joined by journalist and author John Sweeney, who has visited the strange nation.
