Welcome to the 3rd episode of the Series.
My guest on this episode is Ret assistant prison governor and author Austin Stack. This episode is slightly different though For the first time in the history of the series I will split the interview into two halves.
Austin is the eldest son of Brian Stack. Brian Stack was the chief prison officer at Portlaoise prison and in 1983 he was shot and wounded as he left a boxing event at the National Stadium on Dublin's South Circular Road. 18 months later he passed away as a result of the shooting.
The first part of this interview will detail the events leading up to and the night of the shooting of Brian Stack. The second part of the interview will pick up from there and chronicle the Stack families quest for Justice for their murdered husband and father.
