From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Malachi O'Doherty is a journalist in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He provides political and social commentary for Radio Ulster's Talkback Programme and for BBC TV's Hearts and Minds. He has been a scathing critic of politically motivated armed groups, particularly the IRA.

He has written two books,

  • The Trouble With Guns: Republican Strategy and the Provisional IRA (The Blackstaff Press 1998)
  • I Was a Teenage Catholic (Mercier/Marino 2003)

His third published book is due to appear in the spring of 2007. Working title: The Telling Year, this is a memoir of the period between the introduction of internment in Northern Ireland in August 1971 and Operation Motorman, the smashing of the barricades a year later.
