THE influence of spooks on Irish politics in 2010 went largely unnoticed as public attention concentrated on significant financial developments. But as the year ended, what may prove to be historic events were happening behind the scenes, with competing British spy groups clashing head-on in a battle for government funding and influence in Downing Street through control of events in Ireland.
The arrival in early November in Derry of Lord Carlile, independent advisor to the British Government on the activities of the Security Service (MI5), to investigate SDLP claims that MI5 were involved in the shooting dead in February of leading Real IRA member Kieran Doherty outside the city could be the catalyst which exposes what has been happening on both sides of the Border, where MI5 has been running what is known in the spook business as “false flag” operations.
The arrival of Alex Carlile (L) in Derry could be the catalyst which exposes what has been happening on both sides of the border. He even went for a photo-op with Mark Durkan (R) to the spot on a country road where Real IRA member Kieran Doherty was found dead.
Carlile, a Liberal Democrat barrister of Polish Jewish background, has a reputation as an expert on hush hush matters. In various former posts he was “briefed by MI5″ as he says – while as a member of the Athenaeum Club, he rubs shoulders regularly with senior Secret Service (MI6) officers in London. These are at loggerheads with MI5 over funding and conflicting policies on Ireland.
Carlile is, therefore, well-placed to find out what is happening undercover in Ireland. To underline he meant business, he responded within days to requests that he investigate, presumably, as Security Adviser, with Downing Street approval. He even went for a photo-op with the Doherty family members and SDLP man Mark Durkan to the spot on a country road outside the city where Doherty (31) was found tied and naked, shot in the head.
