    Kew Files: Spooks tried to suppress Stakeknife story – and feared McGuinness article

    Today we know that Stakeknife existed, and that he was Freddie Scappaticci.  We know that Scappaticci, at the top of the IRA unit hunting informers was himself an informer for British security forces. But prior to the story being brought to light by journalist Liam Clarke, then at the Sunday Times, the public, and indeed the IRA, had no idea.  There was a clear public interest in the story, but when it began to emerge M15 and MI6 went to great lengths to try to keep a lid on it – and were worried about another story Clarke was investigating, which involved Martin McGuinness. Formerly secret ‘Kew Files’ reveal their motivations.   Ciarán Dunbar is joined by the Belfast Telegraph’s Northern Ireland editor, Sam McBride.  Hosted on Acast.

    Noah Donohoe: Daryl Paul says he’s telling the truth

    LucidTalk: Majority believe Gerry Adams was in IRA – but don’t care

    A majority of those polled in from the latest Belfast Telegraph / Lucidtalk polling believe that Gerry Adams was a member of the IRA.  The former Sinn Féin leader has always denied being a member of the organisation.  However, the overwhelming majority of people across the political spectrum say the matter has no impact on how they would vote.  Sinn Féin remain as the most popular party, despite First Minister Michelle O’Neill’s personal popularity dropping.   And over 60% don’t want US President Trump to visit – but unionists and nationalists sharply disagree on the Donald.    Ciarán Dunbar is joined by the Belfast Telegraph’s Political Editor Suzanne Breen.  Hosted on Acast.

    Kew Files: What happened when the Garda arrested the SAS men

    When a lone Garda decided to arrest a squad of SAS men found in the Republic of Ireland on 1976, little did he know he had sparked an international incident which would involve the Taoiseach and Prime Minister – or that it would see the Irish government interfere with the justice system. Top secret files have revealed how the PM drew up a law to let two SAS men go on the run from the Irish but that in fact Dublin was determined that the soldiers would never do time.  Belfast Telegraph Northern Ireland editor Sam McBride discovered the file at the National Archives in Kew, London.  Hosted on Acast.

    “I didn’t kill my little brother” - Brian McDermott’s brother says he can’t move forward because family blame him

    The chief and only suspect in a Belfast satanic-style murder of a 10-year-old schoolboy is maintaining his innocence. Billy McDermott says he did not kill his little brother Brian. Brian McDermott’s dismembered remains were found in the River Lagan in 1973.

    Noah Donohoe: Expert believes teen likely died the night he went missing

    The jury at the inquest on the death of Noah Donohoe has now heard an 11th week of evidence. Noah had been missing for six days after leaving his home in south Belfast before his body was discovered in a north Belfast culvert. On Monday, an expert witness said it is likely that the 14-year-old died close to midnight on the day he went missing, as the tide rose in the culvert. A post-mortem examination found the cause of death was likely to be drowning. On Thursday, the jury heard members of the public present at the search ‘were angry at police’ as ‘conspiracy theories’ were ‘floating about’.  Liam Tunney is covering the inquest for the Belfast Telegraph.      Hosted on Acast.

    Kew Files: Gerry Adams the focus of declassified docs – including Workers Party sectarian claims

    Gerry Adams features heavily in now declassified documents and reveal that the British considered him, along with Martin McGuinness, to be the leaders of republicanism.  Mr Adams denies ever being a member of the IRA, but a formerly secret document includes a claim that he was re-elected to the Army Council in 1996.  Another document records a former IRA man, then a member of the Workers Party telling the Government that he was told by Adams in Long Kesh that he would be prepared ‘to wade up to my knees in Protestant blood to a united Ireland’ - something Adams says he never said or believed.    The Belfast Telegraph’s Northern Ireland Editor, Sam McBride, joins Ciarán Dunbar on the BelTel.    Hosted on Acast.
