  • CHAPTER 5 Inter-Communal Assassinations and the British

    CHAPTER 5 Inter-Communal Assassinations and the British

    CHAPTER 5 Inter-communal assassinations and the British Dress Since the early l970s, British media coverage of Northern Ireland has focused almost exclusively on violence and its aftermath. However, given that over 2,500 people have been killed and many thousands more injured as a consequence of the continuing crisis in the North, that this particular dimension of the Irish conflict should have attracted so much media attention is perhaps hardly surprising, and, to the extent to which this coverage contributes to our understanding of violent conflict, even desirable. Yet, as we have seen in Chapter Two, rather than aiding our understanding of the conflict in the Six Counties, much of this coverage has been criticised as being superficial in nature, and exceptionally limited in focus. While the violence of the IRA and other republican groups has tended to dominate the headlines and the editorial columns, violence emanating from other sources, most notably from the state, has largely been ignored or underplayed; so much so, some commentators have argued, that the casual observer of British media coverage could be forgiven for concluding that violence in the North was the sole prerogative of republican groups)' The scenario of violence implicit in the British media's coverage of Northern Ireland noted in several studies, in which the IRA is presented as its principal source and the security forces and the Protestant community its principal victims, is, when viewed in the light of statistical evidence, highly misleading. As we have seen in Chapter Two, away from the publicity that has so often been given to the IRA and its activities, statistics on violence in the North reveal that the security forces and loyalist paramilitary groups have between them accounted for nearly 1,000 of the 2,304 deaths recorded up to July, 1983.(2) -246- -247- Nowhere, perhaps, is the scenario of violence suggested by the British media in its coverage of the Northern Ireland conflict more misleading than when it comes to the subject of violence against civilians.

  • MI5 Accused of Covering up Sexual Abuse at Boys’ Home”

    Networked Knowledge Media Reports Networked Knowledge Abuse Cases Homepage This page setup by Dr Robert N Moles [Underlining where it occurs is for editorial emphasis] On 16 February 2015 Vikram Dodd and Richard Norton-Taylor of The Guardian reported “MI5 accused of covering up sexual abuse at boys’ home” Court case to address alleged cover-up of British state involvement at the Kincora children’s home in Northern Ireland. Gary Hoy, an alleged victim at the Kincora home, says the security services should not be allowed to hide the facts. MI5 is facing allegations it was complicit in the sexual abuse of children, the high court in Northern Ireland will hear on Tuesday. Victims of the abuse are taking legal action to force a full independent inquiry with the power to compel witnesses to testify and the security service to hand over documents. The case, in Belfast, is the first in court over the alleged cover-up of British state involvement at the Kincora children’s home in Northern Ireland in the 1970s. It is also the first of the recent sex abuse cases allegedly tying in the British state directly. Victims allege that the cover-up over Kincora has lasted decades. The victims want the claims of state collusion investigated by an inquiry with full powers, such as the one set up into other sex abuse scandals chaired by the New Zealand judge Lowell Goddard. Amnesty International branded Kincora “one of the biggest scandals of our age” and backed the victims’ calls for an inquiry with full powers: “There are longstanding claims that MI5 blocked one or more police investigations into Kincora in the 1970s in order to protect its own intelligence-gathering operation, a terrible indictment which raises the spectre of countless vulnerable boys having faced further years of brutal abuse.

  • Kincora Exhibit GC20 D/Con Cullen

    Kincora Exhibit GC20 D/Con Cullen

    KIN-1943 Kincora – Exhibit GC20 D/Con James CULLEN and ACC William MEHARG MK and SM Higher Police Analysts (Strategic Analysis) June 2016 This report should be read in conjunction with the statement of D/C/Superintendent Clarke provided to the HIAI and should not be further disseminated. 1 KIN-1944 1. Sources of Information The information contained within this report is based on material held by the PSNI and the Hughes Inquiry transcripts relating to evidence given by D/Con CULLEN and ACC MEHARG. 2. Background The issue has been raised by the HIA Inquiry as to what ACC MEHARG knew about the behaviour of MAINS, MCGRATH and activities at Kincora Boys Home. This report seeks to address this by setting out what is known to have been known by the RUC, its date, source, provenance and any other commentary including an assessment as whether or not the matters referred to would have been known to D/Con CULLEN or MEHARG and if so why. 3. Overview There is no evidence held by PSNI that suggests that the MASON file was brought to the attention of the RUC in 1971. Therefore, until 1973 the RUC have no knowledge or awareness of Kincora as a potential locus of child abuse; their knowledge of William MCGRATH is only as an extremist loyalist with connections to PAISLEY and possible homosexual tendencies. In 1972 TARA is thought to be moving toward disbandment and until 1971 its leader is believed to be George MCGRATH of Dungannon; William MCGRATH is only positively identified as the leader of TARA in 1973.
