The Operation Kenova report read like a work of fiction but was about a horrific violent reality.
The Operation Kenova report into the Army's top spy in the IRA during the Troubles in Northern Ireland at times felt like the plot of a thriller novel.
But the Kenova report did shine light on many of the murky details of what is sometimes referred to as the "dirty war".The report identified this as one of the more incredible claims about the activities of the Army's top agent in the IRA. It struggled, the Kenova report says, to deal with the violence and destruction from the late 1960s onwards.
FRU members operated in plain clothes and unmarked vehicles and used "front companies" such as a mobile laundry service and a massage parlour to gather evidence. In these lectures, they admitted serious criminal offences. The crimes were never dealt with by the criminal justice system. The report said some people "investigated" by the ISU were not agents but instead were preyed upon because of reasons such as IRA hierarchical disputes and, in some cases, to eliminate partners for those involved in extra-marital affairs.
