Breakup: Episode Three: Burned or Buried

Episode 3 of 3

When Ophelia Byrne goes to find out what happened when the border in Ireland was finalised nearly a century ago, a discovery in the archives makes her question the whole process

Across three episodes, Ophelia Byrne follows a line on a map into the world of the Irish Boundary Commission – set up nearly a century ago to finalise the shape of the border in Ireland. The stakes are high - but with secrecy, high statecraft, split communities and thousands of lives changed forever - a chance discovery in the archives makes Ophelia question the whole Boundary Commission process

Episode Three: Burned or Buried

With both the British and Irish governments in crisis, the final shape of the border in Ireland is agreed at speed and not in the way that's been anticipated
