Half of all top IRA men 'worked for security services'

Half of all senior IRA members in the Troubles were working for intelligence services,

a secret dossier of evidence into the murder of two RUC men has claimed. The remarkable document has laid bare a startling

series of claims about the infiltration of both the police and terror groups during the ‘Dirty War’.

It claims the IRA ran agents in the RUC and also that Dundalk Garda station was regarded by British intelligence as “a nest of vipers”,

with at least two officers actively assisting the Provos. The information is contained in a secret 24-page document

in the name of Ian Hurst — a British intelligence whistleblower — which has been seen by the Belfast Telegraph.
