THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL: Cormac Moore

James Craig, the leader of unionist Ireland in the 1920s coined the phrase the root of all evil about the boundary commission, the body set up in 1922 to determine where exactly the border should lie between south and north on this island. But what was it all about? Could it have been any different? Did the border actually beget evil? Cormac Moore has written a fascinating account of the border commission entitled The Root Of All Evil. Cormac is this week’s guest on the podcast.
