Martin Sixsmith

Martin Sixsmith is probably best known in Ireland for his book The Lost Child of Philomena Lee, which was the basis for the 2013 film Philomena in which Sixsmith was played by Steve Coogan. In recent years he has become a close observer of Vladimir Putin. Putin and the Return of History records the doings of the Russian dictator while the West was making other plans. Martin will be in conversation with Deirdre Hurley.
