AN UNDERCOVER officer “ruthlessly” clawed his way to the top of an Irish solidarity campaign in the 1970s and used his position as leader to destabilise the organisation.
Sinn Fein described the revelations, uncovered last week at the Undercover Policing Inquiry, as disgraceful and “very concerning” today.
On Friday, the inquiry heard how undercover officer Detective Constable Richard Clark infiltrated the Troops Out Movement (TOM), a lawful and peaceful campaign group set up to highlight abuses by the British army in Ireland.
Speaking on behalf of two TOM campaigners, James Scobie QC told the inquiry how Mr Clark, who is now deceased, rose up the ranks by abusing friendships and starting four sexual relationships with women who did not know he was a police spy, to gain trust.
