Tony Benn on RTE Radio One

The former English Labour government minister Tony Benn was interviewed on the RTE John Murray Show this morning.

The listener was given little chance to discover much about the great man.

Not one question about his years in the Wilson government or his relationship with the mine workers' leader Arthur Scargill.

No reference at all to his 'handing back' his peerage.

Poor interview. A pity too. Tony is 88 and we may get little chance to hear the great man again on Irish Radio.

Watch out for the film on his life, which is being made.
