A former Scottish police officer turned MI5 spy has inflicted major damage on the New IRA leading to the arrests of alleged key figures and the disruption of links between violent dissident republicans and terrorist groups in the Middle East.
Dennis McFadden infiltrated the New IRA’s high command over the last eight years, providing safe houses in Northern Ireland and Scotland that were in fact bugged by the Security Service while handing out free tickets for Celtic matches and drinks from the bar in his home.
