MEETING THE IRA BOMBER WHO K*LLED HER FATHER| Jo Berry's story

The Good Listener Podcast

Jo Berry was 27 when she tragically lost her father, Anthony Berry, in 1984 after the IRA detonated a bomb a Brighton hotel targeting Margret Thatcher and her cabinet.
Despite the grief and devastation that her father's murder inflicted on her, she quickly came to the realization that she was seeking to understand the people responsible for her father's death not seek revenge. This decision eventually led her to meeting face -to-face with the IRA member who planted the bomb, Patrick McGee after he was eventually caught, imprisoned and released.
This meeting and subsequent conversation between the two began a journey of healing and understanding for both which resulted eventually in the pair touring the world giving over 300 speeches together.
