'We have dreamt of this day' - sister of Seamus Ruddy reacts to finding of body in France search
'We have dreamt of this day' - sister of Seamus Ruddy reacts to finding of body in France search.
Human remains have been found in France in a search for the remains of Seamus Ruddy, one of The Disappeared. The find was made in a wooded area in northern France at the weekend. Seamus' family believe it is his body. The 32-year-old Newry man was teaching in Paris in 1985 when he was shot dead by the INLA and buried in a secret grave. His sister Anne Morgan spoke to Vinny from France.
Also on the programme, police in the Republic of Ireland have launched an investigation after a viewer claimed comments made by Stephen Fry in an RTE TV interview were blasphemous. Officers are examining whether the British comedian committed a criminal offence under the Defamation Act over the comments he made in 2015. He later said he was not "offensive towards any particular religion". Vinny got the views of commentator Fionola Meredith and David Smyth from the Evangelical Alliance.
And, what more can be done so that people feel comfortable to discuss mental health in the workplace? Vinny spoke to Linda Bryans - a journalist who has had her own battles with mental health - and Michelle Byrne from Aware NI.
