Rencontre with Martin Doyle

Dirty Linen: The Troubles in My Home Place

Martin Doyle is Books Editor of The Irish Times and has been a journalist for thirty years. This evening he offers a personal, intimate history of the Troubles, seen through the microcosm of a single rural parish, his own, which is part of both the Linen Triangle – heartland of the North’s defining industry – and the Murder Triangle – the Badlands devastated by paramilitary violence. His book Dirty Linen: The Troubles in My Home Place (2024) lifts the veil of silence drawn over the horrors of the past, recording with literary sensibility the terrible toll the conflict took – more than twenty violent deaths in a few square miles – and the long tail of trauma it has left behind. Neighbours and classmates who lost loved ones in the conflict, survivors maimed in bomb attacks and victims of sectarianism, both Catholic and Protestant, entrusted Doyle with their stories.

At the CCI, fellow resident and Northern Irish writer Neil Hegarty talks with Martin Doyle about the writing of Dirty Linen as well as their shared experience of communal division and moments of solidarity that transcended the sectarian divide. To those who might ask why you would want to reopen old wounds, the answer might be that some wounds have never been allowed to heal.

"Dirty Linen is shocking, riveting, and compassionate" (Roddy Doyle)

"Among the most moving works on the conflict." (Ian Cobain, The Observer)

"A powerful elegy, suffused with pity, humanity and authenticity, and a deep sense of place and time." (Eilis O’Hanlon, Sunday Independent)

"Compassionate … remarkable." (The Sunday Times)
