Tim McGarry, a six foot four comedian, joins vertically challenged Orangeman and historian, Dr David Hume, to look at a number of fascinating historical incidents and people in Irish history. The unlikely duo investigates well known historical events from different perspectives, to give the listener the long and the short of it. In this fifth episode in the series they examine the Boundary Commission of the 1920s and how the border was established. They debate with historians Dr Conor Mulvagh, Professor Marie Coleman and Dr Cormac Moore.
