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.
A garda mole tipped off terror chief Michael McKevitt that his Dundalk home was to be raided by police, a damning collusion report revealed.
Details about how a rogue Dundalk-based cop warned the then Provo quartermaster to remove false passports from his house were contained within the Smithwick Tribunal report in 2013.
The investigation was set up in 2005 to examine allegations that Irish police officers had helped the IRA murder RUC Chief Superintendent Harry Breen and Superintendent Bob Buchanan in March 1989 following a meeting at Dundalk Garda Station.
The probe ruled there was collusion in the killings.
Gardai were tapping the Louth home phone of McKevitt when a caller who rang the line in January 1990 was recorded telling the republican: You will be having visitors in the morning.
