Northern Ireland s First Minister Arlene Foster is to present a dossier to Taoiseach Micheál Martin early this month containing allegations the Irish State colluded with the IRA during the Troubles.
The Democratic Unionist Party leader will ask Mr Martin to study the file - which she says points to collusion between the Provisional IRA and gardaí - and provide answers on behalf of the State. I trust this will be an opportunity to set out the concerns of many innocent victims and press forward with the Irish State being able to provide families with some answers, Ms Foster told the Sunday Independent.
THE leader of the DUP, and First Minister, Arlene Foster, has written to An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, about the findings of collusion by the Irish State during The Troubles. The First Minister sent a letter to Mr. Martin last week in the wake of a tweet by a Sinn Féin TD, Brian Stanley, about the Narrow Water atrocity in 1979, and the decision by the UK government not to hold a public inquiry into the murder of human rights lawyer, Pat Finucane, in 1989. In the letter, Mrs. Foster said: “In recent days, the issue of collusion has been highlighted in the public domain and it is with this in mind that I wanted to set out some issues that are the responsibility of your administration, and with which your government can assist.
