Dublin to Cork train robbery. Radio documentary

[spudfan]

This documentary was on RTE radio today (Saturday July 6).

In March 1976 the Dublin to Cork mail train was robbed near Sallins in County Kildare. Two hundred thousand pounds was taken, never to be recovered. Within days, five men had been arrested. After signing confessions, they were sent to jail for 12 years.

It was a crime they had not committed.

Speaking of Radio, this little gem turned up during the week,

Looking for an empty 10 pack if anyone has one lying around?

Looks like an active rail line, hope they got IE permission.
