Death Notices

Already buried supposedly

[seafoid]

IRA member turned informer Freddie Scappaticci

I saw it reported in the news the timing is suspicious with the report on his activities due out soon

Where did he die?

Somewhere in England, surely

Somewhere in England, surely

Ya reckon? Was guessing Australia or somewhere completely off the beaten track!

Brits would spend as little as they could get away with on him.
Probably hoping he'd been found and plugged by his former comrades

They could have found him if they wanted to, from todays Irish Times -



Scappaticci, though, had lost none of his chutzpah. He rejected MI5's offer and flew straight back to Belfast where he sought a meeting with the IRA. The IRA, he calculated, had every reason to support his denials.

He gambled that Sinn Féin, by now engaged in the peace process, could not afford to admit publicly that he had been a spy. If so, it would undermine their official line that they had fought the British to an honourable draw.

Any such admission would provoke the rank and file into questioning whether the IRA had been pushed into peace, paralysed by the penetration of agents like him.

On his return to Belfast, Scappaticci met two of the IRA's most senior representatives, Martin "Duckster"' Lynch and Padraic Wilson. Ten years earlier, Wilson had said he suspected Scappaticci was an informer.

Now, Wilson, Lynch and Scappaticci came to an understanding: Scappaticci would issue a firm denial which the IRA would not contest. To this day, this has been the IRA's official position.

Work with teenagers. Never heard it.  You wouldn't see fit to save me some time and tell me?  I mean, to save some time, I get that it means you shouldn't believe all you read. But how does the thing about eating advance that idea?

SF and the IRA were riddled with informers. They had nowhere left to go. Scappaticci, Donaldson were at the very heart of the SF and IRA machines. God knows how many people they killed to cover their own asses.
