Went to watch "Behind the Walls" by Mary Rafferty and it's no longer showing. Why is that?

Hi Lori,

The link seems to be working fine, unless the content was temporarily removed by RTE. We've just uploaded part 2 which was aired last night and makes for further harrowing but important viewing.

Thanks,
The Headline Team
