Why does Northern Ireland's traumatic past continue to have an impact on the community today?
As a result of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, nearly 4000 people lost their lives. It鈥檚 a figure that鈥檚 had a huge impact on the Province鈥檚 population of two million - if the Troubles had taken place on the same scale across the rest of the UK, the number of dead would have been almost 150,000. New research has found that a larger percentage of the population in Northern Ireland suffers from post traumatic stress than in Israel and the Lebanon and that women are twice as likely as men to develop the disorder.
On the eve of the 10th anniversary of the Omagh bombing, Jenni Murray is joined by award winning journalist Susan McKay and by Dame Nuala O鈥橪oan, former Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland, to discuss the emotional legacy of the Troubles and to ask why Northern Ireland's traumatic past continues to have an impact on its community today.
