Book tells of PDForra’s secretive beginnings

Surveillance, covert meetings, false trails, and some girl power.

It has all the ingredients of a John Le Carre thriller but it’s an accurate account of the founding of PDForra 25 years ago.

Its first general secretary, who today operates popular tours in Cobh, Co Cork, has written a book, Breaking Ranks, about the struggle against all the odds to form the organisation.
