Olivia PedenHOST
I'm joined by authors Andrew Senn and Martina Devlin to discuss how these trials came about, what happened to the accused and what the legacy should be for our so-called witches.
Olivia PedenHOST
Andrew Steddon is a senior lecturer in international history at the Ulster University and the author of Possessed by the Devil, The Real History of the Islay McGee Witches, an Ireland's only mass witchcraft trial.
Olivia PedenHOST
Andrew, you're one of the leaders of a team at Ulster University that has been researching into these so-called witches.
Olivia PedenHOST
Could you take me back to 1711? What is the story here?
Andrew SneddonGUEST
It started in late October in 1710 when old Mrs. Haltridge, she was basically the widow of the Presbyterian minister of Islay McGee.

And clearly there is, I mean, sometimes I think the extent to which the, you know, this is being discussed in households up and down the length and breadth of Ireland, as some pro-unity campaigners like to say, I sometimes think that's a bit exaggerated, frankly.
Pat LeahyPANELIST
And there is actually recent research from the University of Ulster, which said that people do think in the north, do think this is a relatively important thing, but it's not something that they're obsessed with and not something that they're talking about.
Pat LeahyPANELIST
over time.
Pat LeahyPANELIST
But I do think that this, I don't think it's necessarily this initiative by the Taoiseach, I think is a recognition on his part that simply saying we're not talking about this in any sort of imminent or kinetic sense.

Mark CarruthersHOST
All of you, it's been a busy day.
Bev CrippsGUEST
Now, obviously, the PES and I, whenever they're working with their recruitment partner, who at the moment is Deloitte, we would provide an outline.
Bev CrippsGUEST
And usually it's working with our university partners through the University of Ulster, plus also then the College of Policing, because the College of Policing obviously has the approved national practice, really.
Bev CrippsGUEST
So they will look and see what skills and qualities do the officers need to have, what is the competencies and values framework, which is another thing that we would work from also.
Bev CrippsGUEST
And, you know, the recruitment process would be structured around that.
Mary McKennaGUEST
we wanted to be near to affordable, well-educated people.
Mary McKennaGUEST
So they came streaming straight out of Ulster University, straight into Learning Pool and joined our team.
Mary McKennaGUEST
They were people that we could afford, but they were a little bit rough around the edges, but they all worked out well.
Mary McKennaGUEST
Other reasons are that, you know, Northern Ireland, particularly today, has got a pretty unique place in the European and the UK economy.

I feel like my head is firmly down until Christmas.

Ciara FitzpatrickGUEST
And in return, I was provided with a fulsome display of the joy of autumn.
Ciara FitzpatrickGUEST
The golden light over the majestic curves of the sperans took my breath away.
