WHY DID DENIS DONALDSON DIE? PART 2

The story behind the murder of senior Sinn Fein official, Denis Donaldson, a paid agent of UK security services in 2005. Four months after he made a public statement on RTE TV, he was shot dead near Glenties, Donegal, at a family cottage. HIs family have taken legal action against the Garda Siochana for the return of a journal he was apparently writing at time of death. In July 2016, a 74 year old man was charged with withholding information about Denis Donaldson's murder. An inquest into Denis Donaldson's death has been adjourned over 19 times. Gardai say they continue to investigate. On May 6, 2018, Sunday Times journalist John Mooney reported that police in Scotland had secretly recorded a dissident Republican confessing to the murder. The confession was recorded in a prison were the republican is serving a lengthy sentence for an unrelated offence. According to the report, a prominent Republican from Derry is believed to have directed the operation, which was carried out by three others. The motive was reported as revenge for Denis Donaldson's betrayal of the IRA and Sinn Fein and a propoganda boost for the Real IRA.

People know the consequences of an informer he didn't get it for nothing

[@Felix-rising]

Problem is the man who decided people were informers was an informer. Therefore half the time they were innocent.

@@Felix-rising Donaldson himself admitted he was an informer

[@Felix-rising]

@@christinamcilwaine350 I know , I was answering Patrick’s comment. McGuinness didn’t admit he was an informer since 1973, doesn’t change the fact that he was.

[@TrueBlueEG8]

I never trusted this story one bit. Imagine being the IRA's most wanted, and hiding out in, of all fucking places, Glenties in Donegal? Death wish or what?

[@michaelahern6821]

He'd have been safer up the Shankil..lol

[@peterkin1010]

In Republican eyes he was tbe lowest form of life and he could not be seen to be getting away with being a tout

Why did he admit he was a double agent ?

[@fionamcgregor4268]

He was told the fact he was a toute was going to be in the papers, so got his side of the story out first.

[@Ulster96789]

snitches get stitches or worse. Oddly, the family does not think the iRA did it, but that Brit intelligence did. Either way he was a traitor.
