The RFÉ show of June 3rd explored the ramifications of the news that Martin Mc Guinness of Derry, a leading Provo, was named this past week by the Irish and British media as a deep cover operative for the British MI6 intelligence service.

Appearing on the show from Derry was Éamonn McCann, a regular commentator and a former leader of the civil rights movement in the occupied six Irish counties. Éamonn said that although he does not share McGuinness' politics, he felt that there was not enough evidence for him to believe that McGuinness ever worked for British intelligence. He went on say that he has known McGuinness since he first appeared in the forefront of civil rights marches in Derry in 1968.

Also appearing on the show was Martin Ingram, a former British Force Research Unit (FRU) agent. Ingram was the first to say that Freddie Scappaticci, the head of the Provo security apparatus and a lethal killer, was the notorious British agent known as 'Stakeknife'. He had also named Dennis Donaldson as another British operative within the Provos.

While vigorously questioned by hosts John and Sandy about his sources, motives and evidence, Ingram stated that his reason was to pay back Mc Guinness for the killing of Frank Geraghty a former agent who worked for Ingram's FRU unit.

Ingram also stated that the story about Stakeknife took two years to unfold and said that story about Mc Guinness would be revealed in a 'drip drip drip' fashion.
