BBC 1 Spotlight programme on collusion

A BBC Spotlight Special is to be screened tonight which investigates allegations of collusion in the Armagh, Tyrone and border counties in the 1970s. The programme will focus on the activities of a group of loyalists, and members of the RUC and UDR, who operated from a farmhouse in Glenanne, Co Armagh.

The activities of the group, some of whom were involved in the Dublin and Monaghan bombings, has been the subject of research within the PFC for the past four years. Earlier this year the PFC made a written and oral submission to a Joint Committee of the Oireachtas, the Irish Parliament, which held hearings into the Barron report into the Dublin and Monaghan bombings.

It is believed that a number of key members of the gang will be named in the programme.

See www.serve.com/pfc for background on the Barron Report and the PFC submissions.

BBC 1 Northern Ireland at 22.35 Tuesday May 25

any chance someone could record this and digitize it? BBC are going to make these available eventually anyway (or so they have claimed) and it would be nice for those of us who are overseas.

cheers.
