Today, Justin sits down with Jennifer O'Leary. Jennifer is an award-winning investigative reporter for BBC Northern Ireland's current affairs program called Spotlight. She has investigated a wide variety of stories, including money laundering by organized crime, criminal conspiracy to export horses unfit for human consumption into the food chain, and the secret intelligence war between the state and the IRA. This week Jennifer tells the story of Father Patrick Ryan, a Catholic priest who helped funnel weapons and money from Muamar Gaddafi in Libya and the Irish Republican Army during the troubles. Jennifer was the first person that Father Ryan ever opened up to publicly about his incredible story.
