That's the small talk. Now let's go down to business. Now your program, what's the big idea?

Well, they're going to know the Irish much better. We've now got to know how largely their mind works.

I moved over here and immediately I had to up my game.

I could not have done the job I did for quite a number of years in Ireland. I had to go

in there in my living in England. I think a lot of it's in my hair. I think there's a lot of Ireland

in here. I had an artist up for you. 20 years after an Irishman couldn't get a fucking job,

we had the presidency. It was some heightened awareness of how hard my tribe had had it in London. No blacks, no Irish, no dogs.

Never has a nation so small inspired so much in another.

So you could say there's always been a little green behind the red, white and blue.

Our family is very Irish, you know.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, we have a very special announcement to make at this stage.

Would you welcome please the wonderful Charlie Threego!

French filmmaker Sophie Tuscott de Plantey

was killed at her holiday home near Tourmore in West Cork in December 1996.

A Garda investigation is to carry out a full cold case review of the West Court killing

over a quarter of a century later.

I am delighted to welcome Mick Clifford to the Irishman abroad podcast

to talk about the case in his own life.

Mick is the special correspondent for the Irish Examiner, author, a winner of the Irish journalist

of the year award.

And for my money, one of the best investigative journalists or country as ever produced.

Mick, thank you so much for coming on the show.
