When an innocent postman was shot in the head in Dublin in October 2008, it barely registered on that day's national news. Dad-of-two Robert Delany was shot because he broke up a pub fight involving the wrong man. He survived the hit on his life, which took place at his home in front of his young daughter, carried out on the orders of a ruthless and despised dissident Republican. While the shooting did not kill him, Robert suffered catastrophic brain damage, and since that day has endured a living death.
For 17 years, as Robert lies in bed utterly dependent on the care of others, the psycho who ordered the hit has walked free. This three-part series from the Irish Sun investigates why he was shot, the prevailing gangland conditions which facilitated the execution, and profiles the gun-for-hire who shot him. It looks at a family's struggle to come to terms with his new reality, and their refusal to give up on him. With contributions from his parents Terry and Noeleen, sister Siobhan, daughter Megan, retired Detective Inspector Pat Lordan, and Irish Sun crime editor Stephen Breen.
First episode releases Thursday 29th May on all podcast platforms.
