Question: What success does he think they would have had trying to penetrate the IRA’s rigidly enforced omerta?

And how much flack would they have received from high ups in the government for striking stomping about in big boots sounding a sour note in the midst of all the Good Friday Agreement peace and love euphoria at the time?

I have concerns about this intervention and some of Dr Maguire’s past questionable findings.
