Ardara

Well, not Renix, but he also had a company involved in supplying the MMDS system of transmission, and that was what was alleged was the connection between the minister, Ray Burke, and the payment of 30,000 to him by a subs- another subsidiary of Tony O'Reilly's.

Anyway, this mast, there were objections to this MMDS system up in Ardara, uh, and these people who lived on the side of a mountain were accused of planting an explosive device as part of a protest that was going on, which led to the election of a TD in the area, a guy called Tom Gilday, in the, in the 19- 1997 election.

Um, and Hugh Diver was blamed for this.

Turns out that the, the, the explosive device was planted by a Garda.

Yeah, Fiona is a wonderful person.

A wonderful woman who is from the town of Ardara in Ireland, which is the closest town to where where we go.

So and it's very remote.

So like that overlap is kind of crazy.

I remember driving down a, kind of a mountain, and I could see the coast in front of me.

It was coming into Ardara, which is the next village.

I thought, "What is that?" There's a kind of a, you know, a, an arc in the, in the, on the sky.

And I was like, "What on earth? That's very freaky, very weird." Um, so I think I pulled in and I Googled, that is, is there a, such a thing as a, a rainbow at night? And they're like, "Yeah, it's a moonbow." Wow.

Okay.

What's the name of the distillery?

It's called Slieve League or Ardara Distillery, which is in the, the next village over, Ardara.

Or it's pr- it's pronounced Ardara, but we, it's spelt Ardara.

It's not an attractive, um, uh, workplace to go into.

I remember speaking to a young, uh, woman in Ardara that said her sister works in a [audio glitches] shop, and she's on more money than what, uh, she is as a professional, um, a professional, uh, childcare, uh, provider.

So look-
