It all sounds a little far fetched. It would be easier to be elected president of the US for someone who had zero history to be asked to be on the ARMY COUNCIL (of any of the breakaway movements ). McKevitt didn't live that long or rose up to army council by trusting the first bagman who came along. In fact !!! If I was him, I'd decline , and say "why the fuck would you ask me ?" . Because if he said yes, he'd likely have been shot. Because the normal reaction should be " whoaaa ? You're asking me to help with the leadership of the legitimate underground government of Ireland since 1918 ?. You think I'm a padraig Pearce or Thomas macdonagh or seamas twomey ? I think you're testing me here " . With an answer like that he might live ( if that question was ever even asked. His wife said he'd do anything for money and his story sounds like a cheap paperback ) Think of it.

They're concerned with monitoring the IRA and security threat from Irish republicans. The threat of Irish republican terrorism will never go away while Northern Ireland remains part of UK. MI5 and MI6 are intelligence services and wherever there's an ongoing or possible future threat, they have field operatives and intelligence gathering in place. The job of intelligence agencies is not to get an outcome, but to gather intelligence. It doesn't stop because conflict ends. Having intelligence tenticles all over the risk spots to your country and overseas territories is the best defense a country can have.

I've never understood why PIRA (and OIRA in Dublin) celebrated the GFA as a 'Victory'. The GFA cemented the status-quo. Presumably PIRA/INLA & UVF/UDA etc were so riddled with 'touts' that it was virtually impossible to carry out any significant operations ('The Dirty War' ). This Ruper fella is a prime example (both within PIRA & RIRA). MI5 always want 'skin in the game' so they must have people inside CIRA nowadays plus any breakaway Loyalist groups. What was all the bloodshed & terrible suffering on both sides all about then?

[@TheAnthraxBiology]

The priority for the Irish community by the late 80s became a lasting ceasefire, one man one vote, the pull out of the British troops, cowing the loyalist paramilitaries, and participation of Republicans in a more powerful local parliament. There were people born in the their 30s in 1998 who knew nothing but violence their whole lives and were deeply suspicious of half of the population. They didn't want to live in fear anymore and were willing to make sacrifices they weren't willing to make in 1972. The political struggle also became more important than the military struggle throughout the 80s as Sinn Féin surged in popularity post-hunger strikes and as the IRA's military successes waned in Belfast, combined with the increase in tit for tat killings between PIRA, INLA, OIRA, and IPLO. The success of the IRA came from its community support but as that disappeared after the Eniskillen bombing, even they had to admit that the jig was up and accept terms they wouldn't have in 1969-82. Unfortunately the British changed a lot of the terms they'd agreed to in 1994, 1995, and 1998 last minute and then didn't even adhere to those in the years after resulting in another agreement in 2007 and then reneged on those too. But you can see where the war-weary people were coming from.

Yeah, “he’s a snitch for the greater good” but I have a hard time to believe that people can easily raise in ranks without getting their hands dirty.
