Joseph O’Connor: Free State Special

Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning

Feb 1 2025 • 1 hr 13 mins

What were the challenges in being part of the resistance to the Nazis? What was the peculiar torment for women who took on the Reich? On a Free State Special, Dion talks to author Joseph O’Connor about his gripping new book The Ghosts of Rome. It continues the story of the Rome Escape Line, the extraordinary group that smuggled allied soldiers into the Vatican and away from the Nazis. He also looks back on the extraordinary life of the Kerryman Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty who led that resistance in Rome but cared most for horses and the Kerry footballers.  It is an extraordinary interview with one of Ireland’s greatest writers.


Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.
