"I like to be in touch with the street and I can always turn to Joe Ambrose when I want to know what is going on there. He is invariably hip to what’s happening, sometimes before it happens. Sometimes he is making it happen."

Dan Breen Documentary to feature Joe Ambrose

An Irish TV documentary on the life of Irish rebel leader Dan Breen is currently in production and will feature an interview with Joe Ambrose, author of Dan Breen and the IRA.
