Paddy Armstrong talks about his life after spending 15 years in prison for a crime he did not commit.
The names of Gerry Conlon, Paul Hill, Carol Richardson and Paddy Armstrong are etched on the minds of anyone who grew up in Ireland in the 1970s and 1980s.
Collectively known as The Guildford Four, they were wrongly convicted in 1975 of the Guildford pub bombings in London, only to see those convictions quashed in 1989 after one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in the history of the British legal system.
Conlon -
who died in 2014 - would go on to see his life story told in Jim Sheridan's brilliant In The Name Of The Father, while Hill would marry Courtney Kennedy, the niece of former American President John F. Kennedy.
Richardson and Armstrong would go on to live more private lives but now Armstrong, living in Clontarf on the north side of Dublin, has finally written his memoirs, titled 'Life After Life'.
The video piece accompanies the publication of his book, with thanks to
