Two veteran journalists, Stephen Collins and Joe Joyce, sit down with Irish Times political correspondent Harry McGee to talk about how they remember the shocking events of 1982 that were sparked by murderer Malcolm Macarthur and that impacted Irish politics and the man at its centre, Taoiseach Charles J. Haughey.

This bonus episode was recorded to mark the publication of a book that builds on GUBU, the podcast. The Taoiseach and the Murderer by Harry McGee is available now.
